AX Consulting & Education for leaders
AI is powerful enough.
Your decision system isn't.
FinalThird is an AX (AI Transformation) consulting and education firm. We help CEOs and senior government leaders build the capacity to decide with AI and the structure to execute with AI—not just adopt it.
Most AI programs don't fail on models. They fail because no one designed the decision—who owns it, how it's governed, when it ships. We build that missing layer.
Insight → Decision → Execution
Every organization has data and models. Few have a system that turns insight into an accountable decision—and a decision into measurable execution.
We work in that final third: the space between knowing and doing, where outcomes are won or lost.
The problem
Reports multiply. Decisions stall.
PoCs succeed. Rollouts don't.
The bottleneck is never the algorithm. It's the absence of decision architecture—a clear structure of accountability, governance, and metrics that turns insight into action.
What we do
AX Consulting & Education.
Built for the people who carry the risk.
We do two things: consulting that designs how your organization decides with AI, and education that gives leaders the hands-on capacity to execute it. Together, they close the gap between AI investment and real outcomes.
01 — AX Decision Consulting
We design decision architecture: which decisions get AI, who owns the outcome, what metrics govern quality, and a rollout plan built for operations—not presentations. The goal is an AI-powered decision system your organization can actually run.
02 — AX Executive Education
We build leaders' AI-driven decision-making capability—from data literacy and failure-pattern recognition to live business planning. Not a lecture on technology, but a program where leaders practice deciding and executing with AI. Delivered in 1 day or across 6 weeks.
03 — Public-sector AX Advisory
Government decisions demand explainability, accountability, and feasibility. We advise senior officials on AI governance and AI-based policy execution that stands up to public scrutiny.
How we engage
Short commitments. Clear deliverables.
Decision Sprint — 2 to 4 weeks
Decision inventory, data/org/risk scan, governance draft, and a 90/180-day execution roadmap.
Executive Program — 1 day to 6 weeks
Leader-level AI literacy, failure-pattern analysis, case-based workshops, and a live business plan as the final deliverable.
Ongoing Advisory — quarterly or retained
Decision-system health checks: quality, accountability, explainability. Plus organizational change design for scale.

decision system.
If your AI investment isn't changing outcomes, the problem isn't in the lab—it's at the top. We help leaders build the system that turns AI into action.
