AI-first AI is a named service and a spotlight focus, with M&A AI-powered technology IP and hot-words 'agentic' and 'responsible-ai'; but AI is one of many pillars in a broad assurance/tax/consulting pitch, not the entire pitch. | 5Present | Top 79% | Top 84% |
Consultative partner Positioning is entirely advisory/outcomes-led — strategy (EY-Parthenon), transactions, transformation, 'create long-term value for all stakeholders', named client transformations; zero staff-aug framing. | 9Leading | Top 1% | Top 1% |
Clear differentiator 'Asking the better questions' and integrated one-organization framing is a recognizable tagline but is more brand aspiration than a sharp, specific reason to choose; EY-Parthenon is the most concrete differentiator. | 6Present | Top 59% | Top 44% |
