The AI Guardians
Elevate Consulting
Building yourself out of the equation.
Start by product-ising the thinking
Atomize Knowledge
Decompose services into atomic jobs-to-be-done for clarity.
Codify Judgment
Document decision trees to remove expert mystique.
Open-Source Templates
Publish all assets to kill template scarcity.
Turn content into self-service experiences
Automate the publishing flywheel
New Insight
in Notion DB
Result: Each insight fans out across 5+ channels with <5 min human intervention.
Replace consultants with expert systems
Rules Engine
Use OpenFGA/OPA for automated policy posture checks from simple user inputs.
Explainability
Use in-context GPT retrieval so users can ask 'Why?' and get transparent citations.
Continuous Guidance
Use browser extensions & GitHub Actions to flag compliance drift in real-time.
Community > consulting
Build certifications, peer-review forums, and bounties for template improvements.
The more peers help peers, the less anyone pings Elevate.
Obvious objections (and how to lean in)
But we’ll lose revenue!
Pivot to meta-maintenance: sell hosting, premium support SLAs, or paid 'assurance letters'.
Quality will drop if novices DIY.
Ship validation scripts with every template; CI checks flag mis-configurations before they matter.
Competitors will just piggy-back.
Great. Become the upstream maintainer everyone cites (Ă la OWASP). Influence > margin.
Exit strategy: The next frontier
When today’s knowledge is commoditised, pivot to tomorrow's complexity:
Next-gen AI risk
Post-quantum crypto
Global AI supply-chain audits
The TL;DR
Open-source all templates & decision trees.
Automate content flywheel with n8n.
Build interactive self-service tooling.
Grow a peer community to replace consultants.
Monetise the platform, not the people.
