BoardSnap is an iOS app that photographs a whiteboard and returns a structured summary and action plan in ten seconds. For strategy consultants, that means market mapping sessions, competitive landscape analyses, and strategic option frameworks produce clean written artifacts — the kind your client expects in a deliverable, starting from the board where the real thinking happened.
Draw the competitive landscape — players, segments, positioning dimensions. Annotate with strategic dynamics. Snap. BoardSnap produces a structured market analysis — competitive clusters, white space, and key dynamics described in prose.
Generate and map the strategic options on the board — organic growth, adjacencies, M&A, partnership. Snap. The summary describes each option's thesis, requirements, and key risks — the options slide structured before PowerPoint opens.
Run Porter's Five Forces, SWOT, or Value Chain on the board with the client or team. Annotate each factor with qualitative ratings and key observations. Snap. BoardSnap produces a factor-by-factor structured analysis.
Walk the executive team through strategic choices at the board. Snap at the end. The clean written summary is the decision record — what was discussed, what was decided, what's still open.
Map adjacencies, growth levers, and investment priorities. Snap each section. The modular summaries become the chapters of the growth strategy deck — built during the workshop, not after.
BoardSnap AI reads two-by-two matrices, competitive positioning maps, and value chain diagrams. It produces structured written descriptions of the analytical content — not just the axis labels and company names, but the analytical narrative.
Paste the client's annual report, their investor day presentation, or their competitor's website. BoardSnap AI calibrates to the sector's vocabulary, the competitive set, and the strategic framing the engagement has developed.
Each strategic engagement gets its own project. Board history — market maps, options frameworks, client sessions — all scoped per client. The final synthesis has every prior analysis in one searchable place.
Pin the engagement hypothesis, the prior deliverable, or the client's strategic objectives. Every board chat already knows the strategic context — follow-up questions get grounded answers within the engagement frame.
Ask questions across the entire engagement's board history: 'what did we identify as the key competitive threats?' 'what were the criteria we used to evaluate the growth options?' The AI synthesizes across boards, not just the most recent one.
Yes. BoardSnap AI reads two-by-two matrices — axis labels, company placements, and any annotations around the companies. It produces a structured description of the competitive positioning, including where companies cluster and what the quadrant distribution implies analytically.
Framework boards with factor lists and annotations read well. Snap after you've annotated each factor with qualitative ratings and key observations. BoardSnap produces a factor-by-factor summary that preserves the analytical content alongside the framework structure.
Strategy summaries need to reflect the client's industry and competitive context. Paste a relevant URL — the client's website, a sector report, a competitor's investor page — and BoardSnap AI calibrates its language to the sector vocabulary and competitive framing. Each engagement gets its own calibration.
Yes — through the project AI chat. Ask questions across the project's entire board history: 'summarize the key strategic themes across our market mapping sessions' or 'what were the most frequently cited risks across the option evaluations?' The AI synthesizes the full project context.
Strategy consultants typically spend 30-60 minutes per board reconstructing whiteboard content into structured deliverable material. BoardSnap replaces that with ten seconds of capture and immediate structured output. On a ten-board workshop day, that's four to eight hours of transcription time converted to billable thinking time.
