If your advisor only knows your industry
If your advisor only knows your industry, you are paying for the same blind spots. The best second opinion often comes from outside the room.
In a vacuum, every idea looks good. An independent consultant who has shipped across industries will stress test assumptions, cross pollinate strategies, and expose risks your insiders miss.

Budgets are tight and AI makes confident decks cheap. Pattern breadth beats slide volume and shortens time to clarity.
Before you greenlight the next roadmap item, book a 60-minute pre-mortem with an independent who has worked across industries. If it survives the hit list, then invest. This is the lane I live in for mobile and digital strategy.
