StratIQ
Strategy advisory on one integrated instrument.
Most strategy documents are read twice: once at the board away-day and once at the post-mortem. StratIQ builds the strategy into the instrument the executive already runs the business with - a balanced scorecard with interpretation criteria, fed by financial, competitive, market, and governance diagnostics.
The opportunity
Boards do not lack strategy documents; they lack a strategy instrument. StratIQ turns mission and strategy into linked objectives, measures, targets, and thresholds across four perspectives, then keeps them honest every review cycle: what moved, why it moved, and which objective moves next if nothing changes.
Six building blocks, one system
Balanced scorecard framework
Four perspectives, strategy maps with cause-effect logic, and tiered cascading on the Nine Steps method as certified in South Africa.
Financial ratio register
28 ratios in five families, each with formula, meaning, and listed or private applicability. Includes JSE-specific measures such as HEPS.
Metric interpretation
Every measure carries a target, thresholds, and RAG criteria. Trend beats blip, signal beats noise, and movements trace through the strategy map.
Competitive strength assessment
Key success factors rated against named rivals, unweighted for honesty and weighted for decisions. The gaps become scorecard initiatives.
Five forces analysis
Industry structure scored force by force with direction of travel, and an explicit strategy answer for every severe force.
King governance register
All 75 King III principles on an apply-or-explain register, integrated-report ready, with a King IV bridge for current JSE disclosure.
Demonstrated on real numbers
The StratIQ demonstration runs on Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (JSE: HAR), three years of published results, ZAR millions: ratio diagnostics with RAG interpretation, a populated scorecard, weighted competitive strength, five forces, and the King register. Populated from public data in days; on engagement it runs on your management accounts and stays with you as the standing review pack.

The boundary
Method governance is part of the product. Competitive ratings are panel-scored against sourced evidence, never fabricated. Governance registers are presented as assessed only once evidenced. Client data is isolated per engagement on Faolan-controlled infrastructure and never trains shared models.
Named-human accountability
Every deliverable carries a named signatory. The platform drafts, tests and cross-checks. The person above the signature line owns the outcome.
Data sovereignty
Your project data stays on Faolan-controlled infrastructure and never trains shared models. Audit trail under NDA.
