Go beyond summaries: amplify your board's intelligence

Directors are expected to have expertise across a whole range of topics: cybersecurity, sustainability, geopolitics, and more. Yet the information they receive remains largely backward-looking and operational. They tell us they need more on strategy, the external environment, and stakeholder sentiment.

At large regulated firms, organisations devote up to 100 days of work to a single board meeting, yet boards still tell us the output falls short. AI tools that simply summarise the pack don't go far enough. IQ goes beyond this. It helps boards access a wider set of intelligence and navigate it faster.

AI built from the boardroom, for the boardroom

Board materials are among the most sensitive documents in any organisation, and we know how important it is that you work with a technology provider you can trust. Our architecture is designed around that reality: zero data retention, full encryption, complete segregation between organisations, and ISO 27001 audited controls throughout.

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 expert perspectives you are missing

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.

The director stays in control. Always

IQ Experts is a sounding board, not a decision maker. It doesn't replace judgement. It augments it. Every output is a starting point: the director asks, refines, and owns the conclusion.

How IQ Experts works

IQ Experts isn't a chatbot wrapped around a PDF. It draws on four sources to give every answer board-grade depth.

Your board pack and pack history

Users only see the material and content they are supposed to

Your organisation's context

Your strategy, priorities, and key policies, tailored to you

Our knowledge base of expertise domains and skills

Our proprietary expertise, refined over twenty years.

Curated external sources

Competitor and market intelligence from sources you trust, not an open web search, sources are vetted by you.

IQ Experts will be available in July 2026

We're onboarding early-adopter clients now. Join the waitlist to secure your slot for our July 2026 general release.

The risk isn't AI in the boardroom. It's ungoverned AI in the boardroom.

  • Enterprise- and government-grade architecture. Hosted in your chosen jurisdiction. ISO 27001 certified. SOC 2 ready.
  • Zero data retention. No persistent store. Nothing to replay, nothing to expose
  • Your data is never used to improve our models. Our AI is built on our own consulting expertise and test data. Not on your data, not on anyone else's.
  • Sophisticated, role-based permissions. People only see they content they are allowed to based on their access levels. Director-level conversations are private to the director, not visible to other users, not visible to your administrators.

We were building AI for boards before AI was a buzzword

2008

We were founded to solve a single problem: boards were drowning in information and starved of insight.

2020

We made the call to build the first AI product for the boardroom; years before the market was ready. Consultants pivoted to become content engineers. Advisory and product teams came together.

Today

That early bet is why IQ exists. Every feature is built on twenty years of advising boards on what good looks like; now trusted by 27% of the FTSE 100 and boards across the Fortune 500.
