Sitting at your table, not in your inbox
We attend executive committees and strategy sessions as participants. The actual deliverable is shared judgement inside the decision, not a PDF that gets filed by Monday.
Services
Seven services. One premise: technology sits at the strategy table. And in production.
Two pillars: strategic advisory, fully independent from third parties, and AI implementation, a key focus of the firm. We work with the leadership team on the decisions that move the bottom line. We bill on outcomes.
Services at a glance
Not sure where to start? If you have a decision on the table, start with a Second Opinion: five days, from €2,900 + VAT.
Service 01

See the full page Service 04Mindset Reframing for Executives
An executive mindset shift on how to implement AI in the company and turn it into measurable value. Includes our flagship program Shift Directivo: in-person in Madrid, max 15 executives.
See details Service 05Executive Committee Support
Independent perspective inside the boardroom before committing capital. For multi-million decisions where the board needs someone who does not sell what they recommend.
See details Service 06Strategic Advisory with peer review
Same as Strategic Advisory, with an additional layer: a panel of high-reputation external directors who review, validate and challenge every recommendation before it reaches your board.
See details Service 07Second Opinion
One decision already on your table (a vendor proposal, an ERP budget, an AI pilot), reviewed in five business days with a recommendation for the board. Its cost is deducted in full from the mandate if the review leads to one. The only service you can buy directly, without a mandate.
See details01
Strategic Advisory
We put every technology decision where it belongs: on the P&L, not in the IT ticket queue.
Artificial Intelligence
From isolated experiment to defensible competitive edge with an owner, clear KPIs and a budget line the board can defend.
Automation
Where the hidden margin points sit in your operation, and how to capture them without breaking what already works.
SAP Technology
SAP as the backbone of data and operations, with a roadmap at the level of board strategy. When SAP is in scope, the Advisor activates SLVD, our internal latent-value discovery system, to bring an integrator-independent reading to the table.
Cybersecurity
Risk in P&L language, with preventive decisions and metrics the board understands without translation.
Operational Resilience
Designing the business to keep running through scenarios that aren't yet on the radar, before they are.
Strategic Cloud
Cloud as a lever for speed and flexibility, with architecture decisions that hold up when the business doubles.
What a mandate can cover
Whatever the decision requires, across any of these areas.
Strategy and decision
- Technology strategy and roadmap tied to the P&L
- Business cases and investment prioritisation
Organisation and vendors
- IT operating model and organisation
- Evaluating and negotiating vendor and integrator proposals
Governance
- Governance of programmes, projects and services
- Support for the executive committee and the board
What you actually get
Three things nobody else delivers the same way.
The right question, not the fast answer
We redefine the problem before proposing anything. Most technology decisions fail because the question was misframed. Changing the framing is the cheapest saving you will make this year.
No vendor behind us
In advisory we are fully independent from third parties: no partnerships with software, cloud or integrator vendors, no commissions. And what we review for you we do not deploy ourselves. Judgement is the product.
02
Enterprise AI Implementation
From the business case to the system in production. We design, deploy and operate AI-based systems and solutions, agents included, with a single success criterion: it has to show in the P&L.
Business case closed before building
Fixed price per project, never hours
A key focus of Stradiax
Who it's for
- Executive committees with an identified use case that want the system in production, not another pilot
- Companies coming out of a Strategic Advisory mandate with the decision made and the lever located
- Operations, sales or finance leaders with processes where margin leaks into repetitive tasks
- SMBs that prefer a system of their own to one more licence with someone else's logo on it
What we deploy
- AI agents on specific processes: sales, purchasing, customer service, back office, operations
- LLM-based process automation, integrated with SAP, ERP and CRM
- Assistants over your own data: documentation, contracts, procedures, operating history
- Governance included: EU AI Act, GDPR, data in Europe, traceability and human control
What changes
- The AI decision leaves the room with a system, an owner and a figure, not with a pilot
- The margin recovered is measured in the P&L, not in the slide deck
- Your team operates the system from day one; dependence on Stradiax ends at handover
- One senior counterpart from start to finish, with no integrator in between
1 · Business case
Which process, which figure and in how long. MCouncil cross-checks the case against more than 18 disciplines and ServiceIQ benchmarks it against what an integrator would charge. If the ROI does not close, we say so on day one.
2 · Design
Architecture, data, integrations and governance defined with the people who will operate the system. Scope closed and price closed before writing the first line of code.
3 · Deployment
Build and integration in production, on your systems and with your data in Europe. Short deliveries, measured against the business case, not against a timeline.
4 · Operation and handover
Tracking the result, tuning the system and handing it over to the client's team. The goal is in-house capability, not dependence. And if you prefer, optional maintenance and support after the handover.
Two pillars, one rule
Independent advisory and AI implementation. Never mixed.
Advisory is independent
In Strategic Advisory, Mindset Reframing, Executive Committee Support, Peer Review and Second Opinion we are fully independent from third parties: no reselling, no partner programmes, no commissions from vendors, cloud providers or integrators.
Implementation is a focus
Implementing AI-based systems is a key focus of Stradiax. We do it ourselves, with senior judgement from start to finish, and we charge a fixed price per project.
The firewall
What we review in Second Opinion, Executive Committee Support or Peer Review we do not deploy ourselves. And when we deploy, the client closes the business case before the first line. You can ask us for both without one contaminating the other.
03
Fractional technology leadership
A senior CIO, CTO or CISO leading your technology, part-time and on an ongoing basis. Not a consultant who recommends and leaves: leadership and focus on results, never by the hour.
Fractional CIO
The full IT model aligned with the bottom line: budget, vendors, transformation roadmap and the technology agenda at the executive committee.
Fractional CTO
Product and platform: architecture, in-house teams and delivery speed. And when it is time to build AI, they lead Enterprise AI Implementation from the inside.
Fractional CISO
Risk in committee language: NIS2 about to apply, DORA already enforceable in financial services, ENS if you sell to the public sector. Without depending on the vendor that sells you the tools.
04
Mindset Reframing for Executives
An executive mindset shift: how to implement AI in your company, where it generates real value, and which decisions are blocking it today.
Who it's for
- C-level leaders, Directors, Founders, councils and boards of SMBs
- Executive committees that want to use AI without sterile pilots
- General managers and COOs facing the "integrate AI in operations" call
- Leadership teams still mapping where AI starts and stops for their business
What you experience
- Intensive sessions on how AI actually gets implemented inside SMBs
- Use cases traced all the way to margin, revenue and operational savings
- Direct dialogue about your company, not monologues about Silicon Valley
- A decision framework to separate AI that pays from AI that only consumes
What changes
- You leave with a 90-day plan to implement AI where it actually produces value
- The committee stops fearing AI and starts leading its adoption
- The "I don't know where to start" paralysis turns into a roadmap
- The executive regains judgement in front of vendors and consultancies

What shifts in your leadership team
You don't leave with a methodology. You leave with a different way of deciding.
Fear turns into judgement
The committee stops postponing the AI conversation and starts making its own calls. You stop depending on the vendor of the moment to know where the risk sits and where the margin lives.
Paralysis turns into an executable plan
You walk out with a 90-day roadmap signable at the next meeting. Owners, milestones, budget. Not another "good intentions" document to file under "pending".
Strategic sovereignty back where it belongs
The technology agenda returns to the committee, which is where it belongs. You stop delegating it to the CIO, the CFO or the integrator. It becomes a business decision again, not an IT ticket.
05
Executive Committee Support
When a million-euro decision is on the table, the executive committee deserves an independent read from someone who does not sell what they recommend.
When committees call us
- A multi-million transformation program and nobody wants to be first to challenge it.
- The team presents an AI strategy and the committee wants an independent read before approving it.
- M&A tech due diligence that shouldn't belong to the bank or the seller.
- The technology conversation moves faster than the committee's agenda to evaluate it.
What we bring
- Total independence from third parties: no vendor agreements and no commissions from whoever sells. What we review for the committee we do not deploy ourselves.
- Executive clarity. No jargon. Every word moves the decision.
- The questions nobody asked. The answers nobody wanted to give.
- Qualified judgement before significant capital is committed.
What we deliver to the committee
An outside voice whose reputation rides on the decision, not on the sale.
Sharp questions before signing
External reads of transformation proposals, M&A or corporate operations. We surface the weak assumptions and hidden dependencies that, from the inside and through proximity, are harder to see.
Independence that holds up to audit
No contracts with the vendors we review, no pay from the seller's side, and what we evaluate for the committee we do not deploy ourselves. You can log it in the minutes without an asterisk.
Our name rides on the decision, not on the sale
We don't win if the project we review scales. We win if the decision was the right one in its context. Incentive aligned with the responsibility of the people who run the company, not with a vendor's pipeline.
06
Strategic Advisory with peer review
The Stradiax layer that sits at your table, multiplied by a panel of high-reputation external directors who review, validate and challenge it. Three layers of judgment before the recommendation reaches your boardroom.
Elevated tier · Independent external review
Layer 01 · MCouncil
Stradiax's proprietary AI system cross-checks your case against more than 18 baseline disciplines (market, competition, finance, legal, operations, culture and the rest), expanded per case: it runs complex, multi-angle analyses in minutes, applies consolidated decision frameworks and detects patterns and problems that are hard to recognise, widening the Advisor's view and improving the results of the analysis. In minutes, not months.
Layer 02 · Stradiax Advisor
A senior Advisor with twenty-plus years on boards, executive committees and general management reviews, calibrates and translates the findings to your reality.
Layer 03 · Peer panel
Two or three high-reputation independent external directors analyze, challenge and validate the recommendation before it reaches your boardroom. Their signature commits their name.
Differential value over standard advisory
Three independent filters before the decision hits your boardroom.
Triple lens before the boardroom
MCouncil (multidisciplinary strategic AI) + senior Stradiax Advisor + external peer panel. Three independent angles stress-test the same recommendation. Three in agreement equals conviction. Three in disagreement means the debate is settled before the vote.
Signed reputational defensibility
External peers sign their validation with their own name. Your board isn't supporting a critical decision on a single source. It's on the record, with identifiable authors, for the minutes and for any subsequent audit.
Decision built to withstand scrutiny
What enters your boardroom has already cleared three filters. The uncomfortable questions came out earlier, not on vote day. You reduce the risk of an independent director spotting a gap you'd have to explain in the minutes.
07
Second Opinion
One decision already on your table (a vendor proposal, an ERP budget, an AI pilot, a cybersecurity investment), read by a Senior Advisor in five business days, with a recommendation you can defend in the boardroom. The only service you can buy directly, without a mandate.
Fixed price, one decision
Delivered in 5 business days
Deducted in full if it leads to a mandate
Intake, 60 minutes
With the people involved in the decision, not only the signer. Additional meetings if we need more information or want to contrast points of view.
Paper, 6 to 10 pages
What the proposal does not say, what it will cost that is not in the budget, the three questions for the vendor and the recommendation: go, go with conditions, or no.
Debrief, 45 minutes
A results presentation with questions and answers, and how to take the recommendation to the board or the vendor.
Senior, start to finish
One Senior Advisor leads the intake, writes the paper and presents the results. Senior judgment at every step.
How it is done
We bring the instrument your decision needs.
MCouncil, always
Cross-analysis across more than 18 baseline disciplines on anonymized data, with consolidated decision frameworks, calibrated by the Advisor against your reality.
ServiceIQ, when there is a vendor proposal
The project or service according to best practice, adapted to your case, against what you have been offered: scope, phases, team profiles and real rates. The edge against the integrator.
SLVD, only if SAP is involved
Whether you use the functionality you already have and which quick wins make economic or strategic sense, before approving more licences or modules. Without going into your system.
Maximum capacity: four Second Opinions a month, one per week.
Our Methodology
Five steps. Same shape every time.
Whatever the engagement (advisory, mindset reframing, or board support), the work moves through the same five stages. No detours. No padding. In AI Implementation, these five steps close the business case; the four deployment phases come after.
1
Listen
We start with the room. The real conversations, the unspoken constraints, the politics that don't make it into the brief.
2
Diagnose
The actual blocker is rarely the stated one. We separate the technology question from the leadership question from the governance question.
3
Reframe
We change how the question is being asked. The right framing makes most decisions obvious. The wrong framing makes every decision impossible.
4
Direct
Clear strategic direction. What to do, what not to do, in what sequence, and why, in language the board can defend.
5
Sustain
Strategy is a habit, not an event. We stay in the conversation long enough for the new mental model to hold without us.
When the decision becomes a system
We do not only advise. We build and deploy.
Stradiax is not a "decks-only" firm. We have our own products: NeuralPitch, SmartHunt and JCA Studio by subscription, and MCouncil, SLVD and ServiceIQ as the Advisor's instruments inside our services. And we deploy AI-based systems for specific clients, with the business case closed before building. Many of those engagements start in a Strategic Advisory mandate and become Service 02.
Curious if Stradiax fits your situation?
The fastest way to find out is a direct conversation. Tell us where your company is, what's on the table, and what you're trying to decide. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
