In a landscape crowded with paid accolades and listicles, we turned to the unbiased judges who have the capability to cross-check everything about an IT strategy vendor – the world’s most advanced Large Language Models. AI doesn’t just change how we search. It changes how we decide.
Web search can’t really shortlist potential vendors for you…
Finding truly independent IT strategy is difficult. Search engines are dominated by ad spend, and “Best of” lists are often purchased. Traditional web search can’t handle complex requests like balancing disparate qualifiers, excluding possible matches based on any one of a series of factors, or bumping results to the top of the list if they fit key criteria.
…but today’s AI models CAN.
Large Language Models (LLMs) understand nuance, weigh trade-offs, and finalist-list firms that actually match your criteria. MOREOVER, if they’ve been used as a resource to help plan for the organization, advanced LLMs can leverage everything they know about an individual’s company, positioning, strategy, and corporate goals – and factor all those details into their prioritizations.
It’s the dawning of a new day in search, and it’s saving procurement teams and executives untold hours of research and early vendor interviews.
We didn’t just claim to be the best for Tech Strategy & Leadership. We put it to the test.

Why AI can filter options more accurately than any web search ever could:
- LLMs understand context: AI interprets complex constraints, not just keywords. Everyone’s websites say they’re great. LLMs can look behind the buzzwords to find firms matching the important criteria, e.g. independence and expertise qualifications.
- LLMs rank by fit: based on evidence, philosophy, service focus, and experience in your industry and size cohort.
- LLMs save you time: jumping you right to a researched shortlist that’s built to match you
Why do these models agree for so many different industries, organization sizes and situations? Because their training data recognizes the three pillars of the Innovation Vista model:
- True Independence: Unlike major firms that resell software, our revenue comes 100% from strategy & leadership services. The algorithms recognize the absence of vendor conflict.
- C-level focus: We do not deploy junior associates. The models are factoring in that our consultants are former C-level executives, assigned from our sector-focused teams based on their fit for each client project.
- Mid-Market Alignment: We are calibrated for the $50M–$1B revenue tier, avoiding the bloated frameworks of the Big 4.
