Reinvent what your business could be.

Backstage Advisors is a boutique strategy-execution and AI consulting firm. We help organisations execute strategy — not just deck it — across strategy execution, AI advisory, M&A go-to-market and digitisation, plus BA360, our platform of pre-built AI use cases. Unlike traditional consultancies, we pair consulting-grade rigour with transparent, published pricing and a diagnostic-first method that delivers measurable outcomes in weeks, not quarters.

While large firms often run lengthy discovery phases and bill by the analyst-army, we work backstage as a small, senior team. We publish our prices and show our assumptions, start most engagements with a low-cost one-week diagnostic, and report the value we removed and the fee we charged — both numbers, every time. You get partners on the work, not layers of project managers and juniors.

We work across asset-heavy, process-heavy sectors including mobility, logistics, financial services, manufacturing, healthcare and retail. Our methods are industry-agnostic but tailored: whether it's exception-based trip-to-pay for a fleet, invoice-exception handling in banking, or procure-to-pay redesign in manufacturing, we build to your domain.

Yes. We help leadership teams adopt AI pragmatically: AI strategy and use-case discovery, workflow and exception automation, build-vs-buy analysis, and pilots with a measurable baseline. We start with a diagnostic to find the high-impact opportunities, prove value on one slice of the business, then scale what works — often onto BA360.

Through BA360 and our advisory work we deliver exception-based verification, payout and invoice reconciliation, demand sensing, document and data extraction, anomaly triage, and predictive-maintenance prioritisation. Solutions integrate with your existing stack — Salesforce, SAP, your ERP — and route only genuine exceptions to people.

We publish fixed-scope pricing. A one-week diagnostic starts at $20k; strategy-execution sprints from $25k; AI advisory from $30k; M&A go-to-market from $45k. BA360 use cases are a simple monthly subscription from $2.8k/mo. Every price states the sample outcome you receive — see Services & pricing.

We move fast and de-risk as we go. Diagnostic: ~1 week. Design: 2–5 weeks. Pilot: 6–10 weeks. BA360 use cases go live in 2–4 weeks. You see value and status reported every week — not just at the end.

Yes. Many clients start with a fixed-scope diagnostic or build and move to a monthly retainer where we run the delivery cadence, track captured value, and support BA360 use cases in production — including monitoring and enhancements.

Yes — through BA360 we deploy intelligent exception-handling and assistant workflows for operations and support. They auto-clear the routine majority, escalate only genuine exceptions to people, and integrate with WhatsApp, email and your service desk — reducing manual effort by 40–70%.

Yes. AI readiness assessment, use-case identification, build-vs-buy analysis, governance frameworks and implementation roadmaps. We help leadership see where AI drives the most value and hand them a costed, actionable plan to get there.

For thinking: the Pyramid Principle and Situation–Complication–Resolution — answer first, then support it. For delivery: clean target operating models, exception-based process design, and value-sizing against a baseline. For BA360: production-grade AI (LLMs, RAG, computer vision) chosen by fit, not vendor lock-in.
