CVAi The method,
as a product

Your best methodology, executed by agents.
Validated by your people. Every time.

CVAi is a guided workspace where a team of AI agents runs a CVA consulting methodology end to end: they read your approved sources, draft every analysis, and build the review-ready deck and model — while your experts validate each material step at explicit gates. Not a chatbot. A method that runs.

01The problem with excellent methodologies

Your methodology is your edge. Today it lives in decks, and in heads.

The most valuable consulting work is methodology-driven and recurring: market diagnostics, country action plans, business cases, due diligences — the same proven method, replayed across countries, business units and deals. And every replay pays the same three taxes.

Tax 1
Blank page

Every replay starts from zero

The frames exist, the benchmarks exist, the storyline exists. Yet each new country or BU re-derives them by hand: weeks of senior time spent on work the method already knows how to do.

Tax 2
Variance

Quality tracks the team, not the method

The method is only as good as the people applying it that week. Two teams, same methodology, different rigor: the client sees the difference, and so do you.

Tax 3
Evaporation

The reasoning is gone when the deck ships

Sources, assumptions, discarded options, the why behind every number: none of it survives delivery. The next team starts cold, and nothing is auditable six months later.

02What CVAi is

A consulting method, rebuilt as a working product

Review-ready
The only state a CVAi deliverable can ship in: every claim supported, every gate approved by a named reviewer, every file rendered and certified

Your team opens a mission, uploads the corpus, and is guided through the method stage by stage. Agents extract the evidence, run the diagnostics, score the gaps, shape the levers and draft the deliverables. Nothing needs prompting; nothing starts from a blank page. Your experts do exactly one thing: decide — approve sources, validate evidence, sign gates.

Not a chatbot, by design

Free-form chat invents. In CVAi, no agent can write a material claim without an approved source or an explicitly labeled assumption — the workspace blocks it mechanically, and honest states are shown as such: “Needs validation”, “Not enough evidence”, never a confident guess.

◉  Click any evidence chip on this page to open its trail

Guided method

Framing, benchmarks, diagnostics, scoring, workshops, plan: your methodology's stages, gates and registers, encoded once and enforced on every mission

Grounded in your sources

Every source is parsed for real and individually approved. Every claim anchors to an exact excerpt: the yellow highlight is three clicks from any number

Deliverables auto-built

Board-grade decks and formula-live models rendered deterministically in your client's template, plus interim steerco and workshop packs between gates

Human-validated

Explicit gates at every methodology moment. Approvals carry initials and land in an append-only journal. Uploaded is not approved; drafted is not final

03How it works

Agents execute. You decide. Code certifies.

Three roles, cleanly separated — with a hard gate in the middle. That gate is not a disclaimer, it is the product's core mechanism: your organisation's judgment enters the work in a form that is explicit, structured and journalled.

A team of agents executes the method

An orchestrator routes the stages. Specialist agents qualify sources, extract quote-anchored evidence, flag contradictions between sources, run the analyses and draft every deliverable. They never guess: gaps are flagged, not filled.

AI executes

Your experts decide at every gate

Scope, source use, evidence, each analysis stage, the final review: nothing advances until a named reviewer signs it with initials. Your team's judgment enters the model here — traced, timestamped, reversible by reopening the gate.

You decide

Deterministic code renders and certifies

Decks and models are built by code, not by a model: schema-checked, formula-aware, brand-exact. Mechanical checks block any content citing unapproved material, and the final gate certifies the actual rendered files.

Code certifies
Why this matters to your reviewers

Most AI work fails at the partner's desk because nobody can say where a number came from. CVAi is engineered in the opposite direction: the audit trail is the product. Evidence first, prose second, and a journal that answers “who approved this, based on what” months later.

04Touch the product

The gate is real. Try it.

This is the exact control your reviewers use before anything leaves the workspace. The review-ready gate certifies the rendered files — not intentions, not drafts. Until it is signed, downloads stay locked. Sign it below.

What you just did

Everything in CVAi that matters works exactly like this: sources, evidence, assumptions, contradictions, every stage, the final release. Machines prepare and check; only a named human moves the state. And reopening is one click — approval is a decision, not a ratchet.

05The output

Deliverables a partner would sign

The end product is not a chat transcript. It is the same set of files your teams produce today — built deterministically, in your client's exact template, with every figure traceable.

PPTX

Board-grade strategy deck

Final

The full storyline in fixed, methodology-defined sections plus appendix depth: real charts (heatmaps, timelines, waterfalls, donuts), your client's template, fonts and logo grammar, and mechanical slide-fit rules so nothing ever overflows or shrinks to fine print.

XLSX

Working model & audit pack

Final

A workbook with live, auditable formulas: inputs, scoring, business case, sensitivities, prioritization, action plan — plus the audit sheets: source register, evidence references, contradictions and the full validation log.

PPTX

Steerco update

Interim

A gated interim pack for steering committees: where the mission stands, what is validated, what is blocked and why — honest status, never a pretty façade over unfinished work.

PPTX

Workshop pack

Interim

Pre-reads and seed content for ideation and prioritization sessions with the client team: the evidence base, the gaps, first hypotheses to react to — so workshops start at altitude, not at zero.

Rendered, not generated

Slides and sheets are built by deterministic renderers from validated content — the same input always produces the same file. Agents author the thinking; code does the typesetting. That is why the formatting never drifts and the formulas always add up.

06Beyond the first methodology

One engine. Any methodology. Any sector.

The first CVAi tool runs a full vaccine-coverage strategy methodology in production today, end to end on real client sources. But the engine underneath carries zero industry assumptions — it only asks for ordered stages, human gates and evidence-linked registers. Your methodology defines the rest.

Step 1

Hand over the method

The commercial proposal that describes your methodology, plus past project deliverables: final decks, models, steerco packs. The system reads them and reverse-engineers the method — stages, gates, frameworks, deliverable formats, client style.

AI ingests
Step 2

Validate one page

You receive the methodology on a single parameter sheet, each answer citing the slide or tab it came from, plus the open questions. You correct and sign. This is the build's one human gate — and its contract.

You decide
Step 3

Receive the running tool

The engine is forked, the domain layer regenerated from your sheet, the client brand applied, the full verification ladder passed, and the tool deployed — in days, inheriting every hardening the engine has ever received.

07Trust, security and data governance

Your corpus is client-confidential. The architecture starts there.

Isolated, sovereign deployment

Each tool runs as a dedicated instance with its own store and access gate. Your corpus stays in your perimeter; EU hosting or deployment inside your own infrastructure

Your data trains nothing

Sources and deliverables are used for your missions and nothing else: never pooled across clients, never used to train models, never leaving the instance

Append-only journal

Decisions and audit events are journalled in a ledger that can be extended but never silently edited. Who approved what, when and on which evidence is always answerable

Every figure traceable

Any claim in any deliverable resolves to its evidence card and the exact highlighted excerpt in the source document. Three clicks, no dead ends

Named, gated access

Access-code gate on every instance; every validation carries its reviewer's initials. Machines propose — identified humans decide, and the journal remembers

Model-agnostic

Runs on Claude today; the agent layer is provider-portable and can be plugged into your own approved AI infrastructure by our partners

Honesty as an architecture principle

When something is blocked, the workspace says so and why — a missing source, an unapproved card, an unsigned gate. It never fakes progress: no simulated results, no invented citations, no silently filled gaps. That is a design law, enforced in code.

08How we work with you

We are not a software vendor. We are your strategy partner, and this is our instrument.

CVAi is deployed the way a decisive strategy engagement is run: senior-led, evidence-based, built around your teams. The deliverable is not a licence — it is your methodology, running as a capability your organisation owns, with CVA at your side when the stakes peak.

1

Encode the method

Weeks 1 to 2
We start from what exists. Your methodology's proposal and past deliverables are ingested; the method is reverse-engineered into stages, gates, frameworks and deliverable contracts; your partners validate the parameter sheet line by line. Nothing is built on an unvalidated method.
2

Pilot on a live engagement

1 engagement
The workspace runs on a real mission with real sources, in parallel with your current way of working. Every field report is root-caused in the audit trail and fixed structurally — same-day. The tool earns its place with evidence, not promises.
3

Roll out across teams

Per BU / country
Access for your consultants and analysts, training on the gate discipline, client-brand fidelity checked on real deliverables. The same method now replays identically wherever you deploy it.
4

Compound

Ongoing
Every mission sharpens the method: better prompts, tighter registers, richer benchmarks. The expertise that used to evaporate at delivery now accumulates in an asset you own — and new methodologies fork from a continuously hardened engine.
The CVA difference

Anyone can wire an LLM to a slide generator. The value is in the method — what to ask, what evidence counts, when a human must decide, what a partner will sign. That is consulting judgment, and it is what CVA has been building for 35 years. CVAi is how it compounds instead of evaporating.
