Your board faces high-stakes decisions about AI, technology partnerships, and digital transformation. The quality of the analysis behind those decisions matters. We provide the independent research that gives leadership teams confidence to act.

What's included: Current-state maturity scorecard · Gap analysis · Prioritised roadmap · Board presentation

Typical engagement: 4–6 weeks

Technology Capability Profiling

A thorough look at your tech landscape, talent, and partnerships — highlighting assets you can leverage and risks worth addressing. Delivered as a structured capability map.

What's included: Technology landscape audit · Talent capability assessment · Vendor dependency analysis · Strategic positioning recommendations

Typical engagement: 3–5 weeks

Board-Level Technology Advisory

Practical guidance for boards on AI, blockchain, and quantum — delivered clearly and built for confident decision-making, not for technologists.

Typical engagement: Ongoing retainer or project-based

Not tied to any vendor. Not selling any implementation.

Most technology advisory comes from firms with a product to sell or an implementation to deliver. ABQ Institute is an independent research institute — our only interest is the quality of your decision.

Our research expertise in AI, blockchain, and quantum computing means we can assess technologies and strategies on their merits, not on what generates the largest consulting engagement.

Frequently asked questions

An AI readiness assessment evaluates your organisation's maturity across people, processes, data, and technology infrastructure. It delivers a clear scorecard, identifies the highest-priority gaps, and provides a practical roadmap. Assessments typically take 4–6 weeks and conclude with a board-ready presentation.
We are fully tool‑agnostic and do not endorse specific products. Our advisory approach is shaped exclusively by your organization's objectives, existing infrastructure, and culture. Each engagement is strengthened by our research capabilities, our entrepreneurial network, and our expertise across AI, blockchain, biotech, and quantum computing.
We work with mid-to-large organisations where board-level technology decisions carry significant strategic weight. This includes private companies, publicly listed companies, research institutions, and public-sector organisations across Romania and Europe.
