THINKING MODELS

How we think through your problem.

Every Cikitsu report applies proven mental models from strategy consulting. These aren't buzzwords — they're the actual frameworks that shape our analysis.

Pyramid Principle

Answer first, then supporting arguments. No burying the lead.

First Principles

Break problems down to basic truths. Build from fundamentals.

Second-Order Thinking

'And then what?' — consequences of consequences.

Inversion

How to avoid failure, not just achieve success.

80/20 Rule

Focus on the highest-impact 20% of actions.

DATA VERIFICATION

Grounded in reality. Not hallucination.

[VERIFIED] Tags

All calculated values are marked as [VERIFIED]. These are facts computed from your data, not estimates from AI. CAC:LTV ratios, runway calculations, ROI projections — all tagged for transparency.

Multi-Perspective Debate

Every strategy is debated by 3 AI perspectives: Optimist (upside potential), Pessimist (risks/failures), and Pragmatist (realistic path). The synthesis captures opportunities while mitigating risks.

Hard Validator

Post-generation validation rejects reports that violate your budget constraints or cite incorrect industry benchmarks. If we recommend $25K spend on a $5K budget, the report fails and regenerates.

Industry Benchmarks

Your metrics compared against 7 industry databases. Conversion rates, CAC, LTV, margins — see where you stand versus the market.

Adversarial QA Loop

Every report is audited by a hostile internal reviewer that identifies weak claims, unsupported conclusions, and generic advice. Only validated content makes it to your report.

MCP Verification

Strategic hypotheses cross-referenced with Google Trends, Yahoo Finance, SEC EDGAR via the Model Context Protocol. Reality anchors everything.

ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES

What else is under the hood.

Input Quality Validation

Every input is scored (0-100) before processing. Missing info? We tell you exactly how it affects analysis confidence.

Self-Critique Section

Every report includes an internal review identifying weak points, assumptions used, and confidence levels per section.

Regeneration Loop

If a report fails validation (budget/margin violations), it auto-regenerates up to 2x with correction feedback until it passes.

Dynamic Charts

Revenue projections, SWOT matrices, competitive positioning — auto-generated from your data.

Regional Pricing

Recommendations in your local currency. India (₹), USA ($), UK (£), EU (€).

Audit Disclosure

Every report includes explicit audit metadata: version, timestamp, what the analysis does NOT claim, and validation status.

6-Agent Pipeline

Research → Analysis → Debate → Writer → QA → Validator. Each agent specializes in one task.

Memory System

Context preserved across consultations. No re-explaining your business.

Hedged Language

AI never says "you should". Always conditional: "Given X, we recommend Y if Z holds."

PROPRIETARY FRAMEWORKS

Original IP. Not generic playbooks.

The 4R Growth Engine

REACH → RESONATE → REVENUE → RETAIN

Every business has a bottleneck in one of these four stages. We identify which rung is broken and fix the lowest before climbing higher.

The Constraint Ladder

FIX ONE CONSTRAINT AT A TIME

Theory of Constraints applied to growth. Identifies the single biggest bottleneck and focuses all energy there before moving to the next.

The 7-Day Sprint

EXECUTION BEATS PLANNING

We don't give you a 90-day plan. We give you 7 days to get real results. By day 7, you have concrete data on whether this approach works.

The Margin Maximizer Matrix

FIND MONEY YOURE LEAVING ON THE TABLE

Price Power, Volume, COGS, OPEX — four quadrants of profit. Most businesses only focus on revenue. The real leverage is often in costs.

This is what $5,000+ consulting used to cost.
Now it's $30.
