One firm that works across six industries beats three firms that each work in one.
Why Appetals
Most advisory firms know one industry well. That expertise is real. The limitation is also real: they can only find solutions that exist inside their sector.
Appetals runs diagnostics across six industries. When Marg reads your financials, it compares your constraint to how five other sectors have faced and solved it. That cross-sector pattern library is what a single-sector specialist does not have.
The table below shows where the model differs from two common alternatives.
