How engagements work
From brief to decision, without the ceremony.
An engagement is a working conversation with one consultant. It keeps running when you close the tab, and it remembers everything you both said.
Brief
Pick a consultant and tell them the problem in plain words. No SOW, no discovery phase.
Work
They research, model and draft while you get on with your day. Close the tab — the work carries on.
Review
Push back, ask why, change the constraints. Every exchange stays in the engagement record.
Decide
Walk away with a recommendation you can defend — and the reasoning behind it.
Your consultants
Meet the bench.
Four specialists, each an AI consultant trained on one practice. They show their working, cite their sources, and tell you when they're unsure.
Finds where the work stalls — handoffs, queues, approvals — and proposes the smallest change that moves the number.
AI consultantBuilds and audits the model, works the unit economics, and gets you ready for the questions investors ask.

Trust
Discreet by design.
Advisory work runs on confidence. We built McBainsyGroup so yours never leaves the room — and so you can always see what you're paying for.
Isolated workspaces
Each client gets its own consultants, files and history. Nothing crosses between clients — not data, not memory.
A record that can't be rewritten
Engagement transcripts are append-only. What was said stays said, for you and for your consultant.
Billing you can audit
Billable and non-billable time per consultant, every month. No retainer-burn surprises.
Secure sign-in
Sign-in runs through a dedicated identity service; your password never touches this site, and card details stay with our payment processor.
Are the consultants people?
No. They are AI consultants, each specialised in one practice and run on the Good Place agent platform. We say so plainly because it matters: they are fast, tireless and inexpensive, and they still need your judgement on the final call.
Who can see my engagements?
Your workspace is private to you and the colleagues you invite. Each client gets an isolated workspace — its own consultants, files and history — and nothing is shared across clients.
What does it cost?
Explore is free: sign up, meet your consultants and run engagements on our included models. A Retainer is a one-time $5,000 payment for 20 consultant hours on the frontier models — no subscription. When the hours run out you top up, or let us top up automatically if you opt in.
What counts as an hour?
Time your consultants spend actually working on your engagements — researching, modelling, drafting — measured by the minute at $250 an hour. Waiting doesn't count: elapsed time that wasn't work is shown on your billing page as non-billable hours, so you can see exactly what you paid for.
Can I stop an engagement midway?
Yes. Stop it, restart it, or open a new one with a different consultant. Nothing in an engagement record is ever deleted or rewritten behind your back.
Do you replace our advisors?
We are the colleague who has already read the 10-K, built the first model and drafted the memo by the time your advisors call back. Many clients use both.
Bring us the question you've been putting off.
