When Sigma Clients Skip the Workbook and Ask AI: A Consultant's Next Move
Sigma clients are skipping the workbook and asking AI. Here is your next move, and how to earn on it for 3 years.
Your Sigma clients are skipping the workbook and asking AI, and the build work you billed for is thinning out. Your next move is to bring them answers they can trust without checking. Bring your Sigma clients answers, not more workbooks. SQOR.ai computes each answer from the client’s data, matched to the books, with the cause, the forecast and a recommended action, and pays you 20% to 30% of the Proof of Value and every subscription payment for 3 years as a partner.
What is changing
Sigma gives analysts a spreadsheet interface on live warehouse data, and the workbooks, formulas and interpretation are still the team’s work.
When clients see AI answer a question in seconds, a new workbook for every question starts to look slow.
What to do next
- List the clients you built Sigma workbooks for, and the questions they ask most.
- Point SQOR.ai at the same warehouse, read-only, and show those questions answered in plain English.
- Run a Proof of Value on 1 use case and the client’s own data.
- Stay in as the partner who leads it.
