AGASI · Pulse for Consulting
A GenAI capability baseline for consulting teams
See whether your consultants can produce client-ready work with GenAI, safely. Measure capability across prompting, verification, client-data handling, and workflow, reported at the team and practice level.
Also available for: Enterprise AI transformation · FinTech
The challenge
GenAI is already in your client work
Consulting teams adopt GenAI faster than firms can govern it, and the exposure lands on client deliverables.
Client deliverables already contain GenAI
Associates use GenAI on client work today. Usage dashboards show queries, not whether outputs are verified before they reach the client.
Confidential client data is the real exposure
The first-order risk isn’t productivity; it’s client and third-party data pasted into consumer tools. Self-reported policies don’t tell you actual behavior.
Utilization gains are assumed, not measured
Firms bet on GenAI to protect margins and delivery quality. Without a baseline you can’t tell which practice groups are genuinely faster and which are just busier.
Sample output
What you receive
A GenAI capability baseline across four reporting areas, plus an enablement action plan to guide training assignment and workflow reinforcement.
Capability by Role
GenAI capability scores by primary role, showing whether gaps are function-specific or organization-wide and where to focus first.
Enablement Profile
Error patterns by role mapped to three enablement streams: Data Handling, Verification, and Prompting & Task Framing, so you can tailor interventions by function.

Confidence vs. Competence
A confidence-competence matrix that reveals who is overconfident about their GenAI skills, the group most likely to miss errors and least likely to seek help.
23.5%
Overconfident
n=36
High self-confidence, low actual capability. Highest risk — most Verification and Data Handling errors.
33.3%
Capable
n=51
Confident and competent. Lowest error rates. The benchmark group.
25.5%
Emerging
n=39
Low confidence, low capability. Needs foundational enablement.
17.6%
Underconfident
n=27
Low confidence, but reasonable capability. May underuse GenAI.
Risk by Profile
Verification and data handling error rates by confidence profile, showing where overconfidence translates directly into operational risk.
Skill Gap Priority
The most common skill gap across all respondents ranked by dimension, so you know which capability to prioritize in enablement design.

What we measure
Five capability dimensions
The assessment covers the skills that matter most for safe, effective GenAI use in daily work.
Prompting & Task Framing
How well teams structure requests, provide context, and define constraints for GenAI tools.
Verification & Validation
Whether outputs are checked for accuracy, hallucinations, and completeness before use.
Data Handling
Awareness and habits around sensitive data handling when using GenAI tools.
Ethical & Responsible Use
Understanding of bias, attribution, and organizational policies for GenAI.
Workflow & Audience
How well GenAI outputs are adapted to the intended audience and integrated into real workflows.
