Ninth Meridian provides independent advisory to business leaders navigating material decisions on emerging technologies. Strategy, organizational readiness, decision risk, and capital exposure are evaluated through formal governance frameworks.
Designed for business leaders evaluating AI adoption at the strategic level, Tier One Advisory™ protects business leadership teams from costly decisions driven by trend pressure or vendor incentives. It delivers a structured evaluation before capital is committed, vendors are engaged, or internal resources are allocated. AI is the context. Decision discipline defines the work.
Identifies structural gaps, and operational friction. Assesses organizational preparedness prior to vendor engagement, internal builds, or enterprise initiatives.
Defines where AI improves operations or creates complexity. Evaluates exposure, decision risk, and long-term viability before irreversible action.
Ensures alignment between strategy, operational reality, and leadership intent. Structures material decision pathways into a clear sequence.
Ninth Meridian exists to protect business leadership teams from making material decisions driven by trend pressure or vendor incentives. Unlike AI agencies and implementation firms, Ninth Meridian does not promote, sell or build AI. Advisory is fully independent, giving business leaders an objective view before committing time and money, or risking organizational credibility.
Each engagement is directed by the Independent Principal Advisor at Ninth Meridian. Advisory is extended to a limited number of clients at a time to ensure focused involvement.
Typical engagements conclude within 3 to 6 weeks depending on organizational complexity. Every engagement includes a post-engagement follow-up, and is conducted under strict confidentiality.
Each advisory establishes decision criteria, stress tests strategic assumptions, clarifies capital thresholds, and defines governance guardrails.
Findings are synthesized into a structured report outlining implications, material decision alternatives, and organizational considerations.
Advisory engagements proceed only after review and approval by the Independent Principal Advisor based on internal eligibility criteria, typically within five business days after submission of a Request Advisory intake.
