What to know before we begin.

Is advisory the same as implementation consulting?

No. Advisory is best when you want ongoing decision support and accountability. Consulting is a better fit when you need a defined system designed and implemented.

Can you review an AI vendor proposal?

Yes. Aidan can help evaluate fit, assumptions, hidden effort, risk and the likely path to business value.

Who will I work with?

Private advisory is delivered directly by Aidan Crawford, founder of Short Circuit Media and an operator of AI products, paid communities and professional services businesses.

Start with the business problem.
