{"executiveSummary":"Mid-market PE sponsors still buy strategy as a six-to-twelve-week consulting engagement. MEDICI compresses a first-pass strategy department into a single two-agent run: market exploration by Marco Polo, then an operator-grade growth plan by Michelangelo. The wedge is portfolio companies that cannot justify a full-time Head of Strategy.","marketOpportunities":[{"title":"Embedded strategy desk for PE operating partners","description":"Sell a seat to the operating partner, not the portfolio-company CEO.
