What Consulting IQ is
Consulting IQ is an AI Decision Intelligence Platform designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). It combines artificial intelligence, management consulting methodologies, business benchmarking, financial analysis, strategic planning, operational optimization, and human consulting expertise into a single platform that helps business owners make faster, better-informed decisions.
Founded in Miami, FL by Diego Medone, Consulting IQ was built to democratize business consulting — giving SMBs access to the quality of guidance previously reserved for large enterprises.

Before building Consulting IQ, the team conducted more than 10,000 interviews with business owners, executives, consultants, advisors, and industry leaders across more than 50 markets. Those interviews identified the recurring decision-making gaps that SMBs face — and became the foundation of Consulting IQ's proprietary business knowledge model.
Unlike generic AI assistants, Consulting IQ combines AI, management consulting methodologies, industry benchmarking, financial analytics, business performance indicators, consulting frameworks, human expertise, document intelligence, and predictive business analysis into a single Decision Intelligence ecosystem.

Both. Consulting IQ is AI-first at its core — answers available immediately, at any hour, without booking a call. But the frameworks and knowledge base were developed with seasoned business consultants and business school research teams, informed by 10,000+ real-world interviews.
Human consultants are also accessible to subscribers for additional specialized support. AI handles the speed and scale, people handle the nuance when needed.

At signup you provide information about your business, industry, size, and goals — this context shapes every AI response from day one. You can also upload your own documents so the AI works with your actual data, not hypothetical scenarios.
The platform's benchmarking tools compare your performance metrics against real peers in your sector, making recommendations specific to where you actually stand in your market.

Who it's for
Consulting IQ is built for anyone who runs or advises a business and needs fast, expert-quality decision support:
- Small and medium-sized business owners
- Entrepreneurs and startups
- Family businesses
- Professional services firms
- Retailers, manufacturers, and e-commerce companies
- Restaurants and hospitality businesses
- Healthcare practices and construction companies
- Independent consultants and advisors
Consulting IQ works across all SMB industries. Current users include businesses in manufacturing, retail, healthcare, hospitality, professional services, consulting, e-commerce, and construction. The platform adapts its guidance to your specific industry and market context — recommendations are relevant to your sector, not generic business advice.
Consulting IQ vs. other tools
General AI tools are broad-purpose assistants. Consulting IQ is a focused Decision Intelligence Platform built exclusively for business decision-making:
- Industry context from day one — the platform applies your business type, industry, and goals to every response
- Pre-built consulting frameworks — hundreds of expert-designed methodologies across strategy, finance, marketing, and operations
- Your own data in the loop — upload your documents and the AI references your actual numbers
- Market benchmarking — compare your performance against real industry peers
- Proprietary knowledge model — built from 10,000+ interviews across 50+ markets, not generic internet data
Traditional consulting engagements for SMBs typically cost thousands of dollars per month and are limited to scheduled sessions. Consulting IQ provides on-demand Decision Intelligence starting at $49/month, available 24/7 with no scheduling friction.
It does not replace specialized legal, tax, or regulatory advisors — but for the strategic and operational decisions business owners face daily, it delivers expert-quality guidance at a fraction of the cost.

Free AI tools answer general business questions. Consulting IQ applies Decision Intelligence to your specific context — your industry, your numbers, your goals — using frameworks built from 10,000+ real-world business interviews.
A general AI gives you a generic marketing strategy. Consulting IQ gives you a strategy benchmarked against businesses of your size in your industry, using your own data. That specificity is what drives real decisions.

About the company
Consulting IQ was founded by Diego Medone, an entrepreneur based in Miami, FL. The idea emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic when Medone observed that small businesses were navigating an unprecedented crisis with almost no access to the expert guidance large corporations relied on.
Before building the platform, his team conducted more than 10,000 interviews with business owners, executives, and advisors across 50+ markets to identify the decision-making gaps SMBs consistently face.
