IQ is the AI intelligence layer of the Board Intelligence platform. It comes in two layers. IQ Insights helps directors understand their board materials; pack overviews, paper summaries, critical information, and historical context. IQ Experts helps them sharpen their thinking and explore their curiosity by bringing expert perspectives across 130+ board domains, surfacing gaps and assumptions, and stress-testing decisions before the meeting. The two work together: IQ Insights gives you the foundations, IQ Experts gives you the expert perspectives.

How is IQ different from ChatGPT or Copilot?

Generic AI tools are good at compressing information. They summarise documents. They don't understand what boards need. IQ is purpose-built for the boardroom, drawing on twenty years of board effectiveness consulting. Where generic AI asks what's in this document?, IQ asks what should the board be challenging here?

Will IQ replace directors?

No. IQ is designed to support the director, not to replace them. Every output is a starting point: the director asks, refines, and is accountable for the conclusion. IQ surfaces questions, gaps, and perspectives. The director makes the judgement.

Will IQ create groupthink?

IQ is designed to support inquiry and curiosity; to broaden perspectives, not narrow them. Each director can ask their own questions, follow their own lines of thinking, and see their own conversations. Conversations are private to the director.

Is my board data safe?

Yes. Nothing is stored after the response is returned. Your data is never used to improve our models. We host in your chosen jurisdiction, either on our co-located infrastructure in the UK or on the Google Cloud Platform in UK, EU, Switzerland, US and Saudi Arabia. We are ISO 27001 certified and use sophisticated role-based permissioning so only those who should see data, see data.

When can I get IQ Experts?

IQ Experts is available now. Talk to us today to get it set up so you can analyse any board pack, in moments.

How does IQ fit with the rest of the Board Intelligence platform?

IQ lives inside the Board Intelligence platform. Directors access it from within their board pack view; no separate login, no new app. If you're already a client, IQ will surface inside your existing experience. If you're new to Board Intelligence, IQ comes alongside our board portal as part of your platform.

Market comparison: how it stacks up against generic AI tools and other products on the market

Save my space

Stress-test the thinking in a paper

Open a board paper and ask IQ Experts to surface the assumptions it's making. It will identify what’s implied but not proven, the trade-offs that haven’t been named, and the dependencies the conclusion rests on. Surface those before the meeting, not during it.

Bring in missing expert perspectives

Ask what your competitors are doing, what regulatory expectations have shifted, and where your strategy is exposed. IQ Experts brings the customer lens, the regulatory lens, the expert lens: every perspective the board needs but doesn’t always have in the room.

Connect the dots across pack and strategy

IQ Experts knows your strategy, your priorities, and your previous packs. When a paper proposes deprioritising an efficiency programme, IQ Experts can flag that the strategy paper from two months ago put efficiency at the centre of this year’s plan. The connections the room would otherwise miss.
