Comuvia Advisory

Founder-led, vendor-neutral advisory for AI value creation, governance, architecture, and decision support. Built for owners of high-margin capital who need defensible decisions and production paths — not another AI pilot.

A short overview of Comuvia Advisory — the execution gap, who it serves, the four commitments that hold across every engagement, and the one front door that routes into three core engagements.

Who we serve

The work is built for buyers whose decisions move real capital and who are evaluated in writing — by a board, a partnership, or an LP.

PE firms and portfolio operators

Pre-close technical and AI due diligence, and post-close value creation and governance. The market signal is stark: most firms now have an AI mandate, but few can show revenue from it or pass a governance audit — execution, not ambition, is the gap.

Family offices and private capital

Trusted technical translation, private decision support, and bounded domain intelligence — delivered with tighter confidentiality than typical advisory, with rights and retention named in every proposal.

Investors and venture studios

Senior framing of technical and AI risk for an investment committee or a portfolio company at an inflection — defensible in writing, on a deal timeline, without a multi-week generic engagement.

Founders, CTOs, and architecture leaders

Outside senior judgment on the decisions that land on your desk: build vs. buy, rebuild vs. refactor, AI in-house vs. vendor, and whether an architecture will survive the next 12 months of growth.

Advisory offerings

The flagship second-opinion verification, a fixed-scope front door, and three further core engagements. Each is productized — a defined deliverable, a fixed turnaround, and a fixed price band scoped to the work, not open-ended hourly billing.

AI Second-Opinion & Readiness Verification

Scope: An independent, vendor-neutral second opinion on an AI transformation a portfolio company has already bought — scored on six diligence dimensions, for the plan you are about to sign or the one already mid-flight.
Duration: About 2 weeks
Price band: Verification Sprint $18–40K; first-reference pilot $7.5–15K
Outcome: A board-ready verdict — executive scorecard, per-dimension evidence, a remediation roadmap, and a one-page board memo landing on proceed / proceed-with-conditions / re-scope / pause.

Architecture & Decision Review Sprint

Scope: The front door. A fast, senior review of one architecture, platform decision, AI workflow, or stalled pilot — surfacing risks, governance gaps, and the option you didn't see.
Duration: 5-15 business days
Price band: Fixed-scope diagnostic
Outcome: Workflow map, prioritized architecture and governance risks, an option matrix, and a sequenced next-step roadmap.

Scope a review sprint →

Fractional AI Value-Creation & Governance Advisor

Scope: Ongoing senior guidance for leaders who need AI value creation and governance without adding a full-time AI executive. The shape one-off reviews graduate into — the advisor carries your stack and constraints forward, so each decision builds on the last.
Duration: Monthly retainer with 30-day review points
Price band: Scoped after fit check
Outcome: Decision cadence, governance discipline, roadmap clarity, vendor reviews, and faster executive alignment.

Decision Support + Simulation Pack

Scope: Verification-centric decision support in two depths. A facilitated Decision Map Workshop when the call is about options and alignment; a Simulation Decision Pack — backed by Comuvia's own economic simulation — when the answer turns on numbers.
Duration: 3-20 business days
Price band: Workshop or decision pack
Outcome: A named option set, an explicit assumption register, modeled scenarios where they help, and one recommended path with written rationale and implementation invariants.

PE Technical Due Diligence + AI Acceleration

Scope: An independent, vendor-neutral second opinion for investors — a fast Red-Flag Scan pre-LOI, or full technical and AI due diligence landing on proceed / proceed-with-conditions / walk. Post-close, the same read becomes an AI acceleration on-ramp.
Duration: Scoped to the deal timeline
Price band: Red-Flag Scan or full DD
Outcome: Deal-relevant findings on architecture, AI credibility, data posture, security, and key-person risk — traced to evidence, not vendor decks.

Which engagement fits

The engagements are complements, not alternatives. The front door often routes into one of the three core engagements; a diligence or decision-support project frequently graduates into a Fractional retainer. Comuvia recommends the lightest engagement that settles the decision at hand.

If you have…	Start with…
An AI transformation a portfolio company already bought, and a board asking whether it worked	AI Second-Opinion & Readiness Verification
A high-stakes call and you want a fast senior read first	Architecture & Decision Review Sprint
Architecture, AI, and roadmap questions that keep surfacing across a quarter or more	Fractional AI Value-Creation & Governance Advisor
A build/buy, rebuild/refactor, or investment decision that needs a defensible recommendation	Decision Support + Simulation Pack
A deal whose thesis rests on the target's technology or AI	PE Technical Due Diligence + AI Acceleration

What makes this different — not an LLM wrapper

Comuvia Advisory is a verification-centric practice backed by systems Comuvia actually runs. Four commitments hold across every engagement.

Vendor-neutral by structure

Comuvia sells no software, takes no reseller commissions, and partners with no single cloud or model provider. The advisory fee is the only revenue — so the recommendation follows the evidence, not a cross-sell.

Verification-centric — we show our work

Where a claim can be modeled, it is. Quantitative findings trace to an actual run on Comuvia's own validated economic simulation, not to a confident paragraph. Every assumption is explicit; every scenario can be re-run with different inputs.

Governance and human approval by design

The operating model names where AI can act, where a human approves, where evidence is logged, and where a rollout should stop. A named human owns every recommendation that reaches you.

Proven on a real stack

Comuvia advises clients to build the reference AI architecture it already operates, and Comuvia Media is the live internal client that proves the workflows, quality gates, and production economics in a visible domain.

Fit questions

Who is this for?

PE firms and their portfolio companies, family offices and private capital, investors and venture studios, and founders, CTOs, and architecture leaders with real workflow, governance, architecture, or decision pressure.

What is not a fit?

Generic AI brainstorming, staff augmentation, unmanaged implementation ownership, or requests to deploy autonomous agents without governance and client-side production ownership.

Do you advise, or implement?

Primarily senior advisory and decision support — independent review, decision maps, simulation, and fractional guidance. Comuvia does not resell or implement vendor platforms, which is what keeps recommendations vendor-neutral. Hands-on AI acceleration exists only as a post-diligence on-ramp or inside a retainer.

How is Comuvia different from a large consulting firm such as Accenture, Deloitte, Microsoft Consulting, or Avanade?

Three structural differences. Independence: Comuvia resells no licenses and holds no platform quotas, so it can recommend the right approach even when that means less software spend. Senior delivery: the principal architect who scopes the work also delivers it — there is no pyramid of junior staff. Living proof: Comuvia runs its own operations on an AI operating system and shows it working, rather than presenting AI transformation as slideware. A frequent engagement is an independent second opinion on a plan a larger firm has already proposed.

You use AI heavily — how do I know the work is sound?

AI accelerates research, synthesis, and production volume; a named senior reviewer holds the bar at brief, mid, and final. Every recommendation traces to a model run or a documented review — not to an unchecked model output. The discipline is: check the AI on every checkpoint, and log every check.

How are engagements priced?

Every engagement is productized — a defined deliverable, a fixed turnaround, and a fixed price band. Bands are published by engagement shape rather than one list price, because the right number depends on scope. Request a fit check and you get scope, band, and a delivery date.

What happens to my data?

Client-confidential data is handled under explicit controls and never folded into public content or shared corpora. For private-capital engagements, NDA, rights, and retention terms are part of every proposal.

Where does PE technical due diligence fit?

As an independent second opinion and red-team — not the public flagship. It can run pre-LOI as a Red-Flag Scan, as full technical and AI diligence, or convert post-close into AI acceleration and a fractional retainer.
