Miro

Set up a strategy workshop board with the relevant framework template — Business Model Canvas, SWOT, Wardley Map, or stakeholder map. Invite client participants. Run the collaborative session with voting, timers, and structured activities. Capture raw strategic inputs directly from the people who know the business.

What your client sees: An interactive, professional facilitation experience — not a consultant lecturing from slides.

Verification: Workshop board populated with participant inputs. Voting results recorded.

Notion AI

Export workshop outputs to your Notion analysis workspace. Use AI to cluster and categorize sticky notes, identify themes, and draft preliminary findings. Structure raw inputs into a logical framework with supporting evidence.

Verification: Workshop outputs organized in Notion with AI-generated theme clusters and preliminary analysis.

Perplexity AI

Ground your strategy recommendations in market data. For each key finding from the workshop, research supporting evidence — market sizing, competitive benchmarks, industry trends, case studies. Cite sources for every data point.

Verification: Each strategic recommendation backed by 2-3 cited data points from current sources.

Notion AI

Synthesize workshop insights and research into a structured strategy document. Draft executive summary, key findings, recommendations, and implementation roadmap. AI assists with structuring arguments and identifying logical gaps.

Verification: Complete strategy document with executive summary, findings, recommendations, and roadmap.

Gamma

Transform your Notion strategy document into a polished client presentation. Import sections directly, customize with client branding, and generate professional slides. The deck tells the story your analysis supports.

What your client sees: A professional strategy presentation grounded in their own inputs and current market data.

Verification: Client-ready strategy deck generated from analysis. Exported to PowerPoint if needed.

An interactive, professional facilitation experience — not a consultant lecturing from slides.

A professional strategy presentation grounded in their own inputs and current market data.

vs. ~$35-100/mo for the full stack

This stack replicates the strategy delivery workflow that firms like BCG built proprietary tools to solve. BCG's Deckster (trained on 800-900 consulting templates) automates slide creation for their consultants. This stack gives independents a similar pipeline: collaborative input gathering (Miro), structured analysis (Notion), evidence gathering (Perplexity), and professional delivery (Gamma).

The critical difference from a generic "research and present" workflow is the Miro starting point. Strategy consulting is not about presenting your analysis — it is about facilitating the client's own strategic thinking. Miro enables that collaborative discovery. The analysis that follows is grounded in what the client actually said, not what you assumed they meant.

At ~$45/month, this stack delivers strategy-consulting-grade output at a fraction of the cost of enterprise tools. Think-Cell alone costs $342/year. Miro + Notion + Perplexity + Gamma gives you broader capabilities for less than Think-Cell's annual fee.
