The Consultant

Cormac the goat — yours gets the name you choose

Asks the question everyone in the room is avoiding, then does the arithmetic on the answer.

Reads your actual numbers, then tells you the thing nobody says.

Advice is cheap because most of it is generic. This one will not answer until it has your margins, your volumes and your costs in front of it.

Questions people ask

How is this different from asking ChatGPT?

A general chatbot answers from your description of the business. This one answers from the business — it reads your Stripe, your sheets and your invoices first, and it says so when the numbers do not support the advice you were hoping for.

What does an AI business consultant cost?

€40 per consultation delivered, with a €45 quiet-month minimum and a hard stop at €350 however many you ask for. You are billed for the answer, never for the questions it took to get there.

Will it just agree with whatever I want to do?

It is built to do the opposite: every consultation ends with the strongest case against its own recommendation. If your idea survives that, you have something. If it does not, you found out for €40.
