R9 STRATEGY INTELLIGENCE · EXECUTIVE ACCESS

Advisory Access

Continuous decision accountability. Not a generic retainer.

For boards and C-level who refuse the vacuum between board cycles. Decision accountability requires continuous integration of external market signals — not one briefing per quarter.

Built on board-level experience with international companies — 30–50 % margin improvement without headcount reduction, depending on industry and use case.

The Gap

Classical consulting ends with the deliverable.

A report lands on the table. The market moves on. The next engagement goes to RFP in six months. Business happens between two deliverables. Advisory Access closes that gap — continuously, not in pulses. Decisions don't stand still, so intelligence can't either.

The Format

CORTEX-backed accompaniment at board level.

Advisory Access is not a productised package. Scope, cadence and depth are defined per engagement. What stays constant: the CORTEX Platform as intelligence base under every conversation, and Klaus Tulipan as board advisor directly reachable.

  • Selective engagement — deliberately small number of active mandates, no mass rollout.
  • Cadence by arrangement — monthly, quarterly or project-based.
  • CORTEX intelligence base — every conversation grounded in current market and competitive data.
  • Board advisor direct — no account-manager layer, no handoffs.

Evidence

A pattern, not a one-off.

Across multiple international engagements, the identified margin gap typically sat in the 30–50 % range — depending on industry and use case, and often in areas management did not expect. Verifiable pattern · Board-level engagements

Ongoing advisory means: holding that pattern in view across quarters — not a one-time diagnostic — while the market, competitors, and technology landscape keep moving.

Engagement Range

What Advisory Access costs.

A layer that thinks alongside you.

Advisory Access doesn't start with a standard contract. It starts with a conversation about situation, cadence and expectation. If the fit is there, scope is defined individually.
