AI-first AI is a dedicated service line ('Engineering and AI'), with 'Intelligent Enterprise' AI platform, CAIO leadership content, frontier AI partners (OpenAI, Anthropic), and hot-words agentic/responsible-ai/co-pilot — central but one pillar among audit/tax/consulting. | 7Strong | Top 60% | Top 64% |
Consultative partner Positions firmly as strategic advisory partner: strategy, finance/ERP transformation, risk and regulatory, deals, C-suite-tailored leadership content, and named enterprise transformation framing — classic outcomes-led consultancy, not staff-aug. | 9Leading | Top 1% | Top 1% |
Clear differentiator Differentiators (Intelligent Enterprise platform, CAIO content, breadth of alliances) are real but lean on breadth and institutional brand rather than a sharp, plainly stated single reason to choose; big-four generalist framing. | 5Present | Top 86% | Top 81% |
