Company

Small core team. Serious accountability.

Cortana is founder-led. A mandate team may be assembled around the decision, the domain, and the evidence required, with ownership defined before work begins.

PUBLIC LEADERSHIP

The founders

Public team information is intentionally limited to roles and facts that can be represented accurately. Mandate-specific specialists are disclosed to the client before their work affects a decision.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Credibility depends on the record.

  1. 01

    The research can say no

    A mandate is allowed to conclude that the evidence does not support a build, vendor purchase, or broader deployment.

  2. 02

    Assumptions stay visible

    Observed facts, participant reports, external benchmarks, and management estimates are labeled separately.

  3. 03

    Named owners at every gate

    Research, technical, business, and decision ownership are explicit before work begins.

  4. 04

    Client evidence requires permission

    Names, logos, quotes, screenshots, and outcome figures appear publicly only with a written release and source record.
