AXAT is live. Turn an assessment into a defended diagnosis.
Most assessments tell a client where people think they are. AXAT tests that view against what can be shown and what still goes wrong, then turns the gap into root causes, recommended action and a stronger basis for the next decision. Built from your firm’s own expertise.
The best thinking is trapped in a few people’s heads.
Why that is the ceiling on a consultancy, and what changes when the method itself becomes a system.
AI has made consultants faster. AXAT helps make the consultancy more scalable and valuable.
Clients can get plausible answers and outputs from any LLM faster than ever. The opportunity is not to produce more analysis they could get for themselves. It is to make your firm’s expertise visible in the diagnosis, and turn that diagnosis into a stronger commercial conversation with outcomes you can evidence.
Bring a stronger point of view into discovery and proposals. Move beyond “tell us about your problem” to a structured diagnosis of what is happening, what supports it and what needs resolving.
Make the value sit in the expertise and the decision, not the hours spent running a survey. The client can see the evidence, confidence, logic and root cause behind the recommendation. 100% traceability behind every recommendation.
Do not finish with a score. The assessment becomes a baseline you can return to: reassess after the work and the movement is evidenced, capability by capability. That makes the next phase a natural conversation, not a sale to pitch.
One useful question. AXAT adds two more: what can you show, and what still goes wrong?
Which lens is holding the capability down, what to investigate, and how far the reading can be relied on.
The failure mode underneath the score, and the actions that address it.
Not another score. An outcome-led client conversation.
AXAT turns the assessment from something useful into something more commercially valuable: a defended diagnosis, a clear route to action, and evidence you can return to and measure progress against as the work progresses.
Give the client a position you can defend.
Show the assessed position, capability floor and confidence, not just an average rating.
Turn the finding into what should happen next.
Connect the diagnosis to the actions that address the root cause and create the bridge into follow-on work.
Come back with evidence of movement.
Remeasure capability and track the KPIs that matter, so the consultancy can show what changed rather than simply report what was delivered.
Three assessment modes. Different jobs.
With AXAT we have added a third assessment option to TheAX, so you can match the depth to the situation. Nothing you already run has changed.
Quick self-assessments
A short self-completion for lead capture, or quick data gathering from prospects. Starts the conversation with low effort.
Maturity assessment
An AI powered maturity assessment. Ideal where you want a quick read across a group, playing back what they think and where they differ.
Triangulated diagnostic
Tests the position against evidence and symptoms, then diagnoses the cause and what to do. For work that has to survive challenge.
The same maturity score can hide very different problems.
Two restaurants, one street. The menu looks fine, the kitchen looks fine, the difference is underneath. A rating tells you there is a gap. The pattern across the three lenses tells you what kind, and therefore what to do.
Corroborated at 1.67: the evidence floor. The diners are happy, but nothing is written down and nothing would survive Mario taking a week off.
Corroborated at 2.33: the symptoms cap it. The recipe book, the certificates, the trained staff are all real. The service is not.
Same score on a standard assessment. Opposite advice. That is the difference between a rating and a diagnosis. The long version is on the AXAT page.
Move from a rating to a traceable diagnostic position.
The analysis makes disagreement visible rather than hiding it. That gives the consultant something to resolve, not noise to average away. This is the Overview tab of a completed AXAT assessment, top to bottom.
See agreement and disagreement
The assessed position, and beside it the confidence: how many respondents, how far they agreed, how much evidence was validated. “Usable but not yet firm” is the platform being honest about the reading.
Investigate the gap
The open questions still to settle, and which are being investigated. Flag an artefact, check it, record the outcome.
Update the assessment
Completed investigations feed back in. The position as assessed and after investigation sit side by side, so the reading gets better supported without losing what was originally found.
Diagnose the kind of problem
Every root cause sorted by the change it asks for: build it, make it land, write it down, or leave it. Nothing in place is a different job from in place but still happening, and the advice differs accordingly.
See what progression takes
The next level and what it asks for, with the recommendations split into ready to start, validate first, and sequence behind. The logic stays visible: the consultant can see why the result changed and which inputs underpin it.
Analytics & Insights, Overview tab. Demo tenant, illustrative.
Use the result where your firm already works.
AXAT can finish as a client-ready report, or continue as structured data in the tools and AI workflows your consultants prefer. If you have built agentic workflows, GPTs or Claude projects around your practice, this feeds them. Better inputs, not another closed workflow.
The report
Built from the sections you choose, in your branding. Export as an editable Word document or a self-contained web page, or share a link.
The workbook
An Excel workbook with capabilities, level attainment, root causes, recommendations, every answer, and the state of the investigation.
The AI-ready data
Shareable structured JSON so an LLM or workflow can continue from the assessment, with no calculation details exposed.
