What we track
- Service lines most exposed to AI-assisted substitution
- Changes in buyer underwriting logic and deal terms
- When reinvention is viable versus when exit is rational
Paerr Research
Signals for consultancy founders facing AI disruption
We analyse where AI is compressing delivery economics in small consultancies and how that affects timing, valuation, and exit strategy.
Who this is for
- Founders of specialist and boutique consultancies
- Acquirers evaluating resilience and integration risk
- Advisors supporting owner-managed M&A outcomes
Our thesis is not that every firm should sell immediately. It is that decision quality improves when owners treat AI-driven change as a strategic timing variable, not a distant trend.
