Growth puts pressure on the systems, decisions and financial information a business depends on. Bain Squared brings together AI operations, finance leadership and valuation to address the constraint holding the business back.

We connect AI to a defined workflow, the information it needs and the people responsible for the result. The work includes integration, review and ongoing operation.

the outcome.
The Squared Method.
Four connected stages, shaped around the decision your business needs to make.
Diagnose
Agree what needs to change. Map the workflow, identify the constraint and establish who owns the result.
A defined problem, a baseline and an agreed scope.
Design
Work through the decisions, exceptions and responsibilities before implementation begins.
A proposed workflow or model, with assumptions and checks documented.
Deploy
Put the work into use alongside your team. Test the handoffs and prepare the people who will run it.
A working implementation, operating guidance and a named owner.
Defend
Review the result against the original question. Keep the evidence clear enough for the next review or handover.
A review record, supporting evidence and a plan for ongoing ownership.
