Every dashboard shows you what happened.
None of them show you what it cost to not know sooner. The speed of a service failure. The consequence of a brand that stopped delivering its promise. The revenue that left quietly, one client at a time, before anyone flagged it as a trend.
That gap between what your operation believes is happening and what your clients are actually experiencing is the Glass Wall™.
The Glass Wall™ isn't a technology problem.
AI didn't create it.
AI made it impossible to ignore. A luxury brand relies on half a dozen AI platforms. 1,200 leads a month routed through them. A loyal guest asked questions about a new product. They weren't recognized. With their concerns never addressed: they left.
The internal NPS: 87%. The corporate score: green. The public review record: something else entirely.
The dashboard said passing. The client said otherwise.
While McKinsey was selling DEI implementation, TaChelle Lawson was documenting the blowback. She built a framework centered on protecting three variables every luxury operator is actually managing: Revenue, Reputation, and Retention and she wrote the book on what happens when the advice doesn’t hold. Black is NOT a Credential: The Corporate Scam of DEI documented what she saw coming while the Big 4 was still selling the slide decks. She is watching the same pattern open with AI.
FIG is built by an operator, for operators.
Pattern recognition is what you’re paying for.

The Flaw in the Global Consulting Playbook
Why Generic Frameworks Fail Luxury Operations Every Time
The hard truth about the static playbooks left behind by the Big 4 and traditional firm hierarchies? They weren't built for your business. They were built for scale.
When enterprise organizations rushed into DEI adoption, most purchased the same frameworks from the same firms. The result was identical, sterile execution across competitors and when the friction from cultural fallout hit the bottom line, the strategies disappeared. No accountability. No operational legacy. No real change.
AI is following the exact same pattern.
When every luxury property deploys the same AI playbook, your guest experience becomes indistinguishable from your closest competitor, regardless of what your heritage brand promises. Your differentiator disappears. And no amount of rebranding recovers what operational misalignment destroys.

Executive Visibility:
What Is AI Actually Doing Inside Your Dealership?
FIG doesn't sell AI or implement it. We give executives independent visibility into what AI is doing inside their operation. Can your leadership can tell the difference between what the system reports and what the customer receives? That gap is the Glass Wall™.
82% of dealers use AI. 1/3 can't confidently say what's delivering.
The system says one thing.
Your customer lives another.
A customer gives your AI their name, trade-in, budget and timeline. They give it again by chat. Then again by text. Finally, they walk into the dealership, and the salesperson has no idea who they are.
The dashboard shows a lead captured, a follow-up sent and an appointment set. Every light is green, meanwhile, customer is starting over each time.
A visibility problem and an operational integration problem
Leadership couldn't really see what their AI collected or promised. The system that collected it never connected to the people who had to act on it. Neither shows up on a dashboard, and neither reaches your CSI until months after the customer has decided.
Every franchise makes a promise.
Someone has to verify it survived.
Whether the sign reads Lexus or Ford, Mercedes-Benz or Honda, Four Seasons or Extended Stay, the brand made a promise and your dealership or hotel carries it. AI now speaks for the brand in the first conversation, the follow-up and the service reminder. Who verifies if the brand promise was kept? manufacturer
One tested engagement opens the Glass Wall™.
Everything beyond it is advisory, scoped to what we find.
You know what your AI cost to implement. Do you know what it’s costing to run without oversight and alignment?
