Stop remaking slides you know you have but can't find. alkemy catalogs everything so teams can find and reuse past work in seconds, not hours.
Consulting firms have years of expertise trapped in PowerPoint, Excel, PDFs, and Word docs. When consultants need past frameworks, analyses, or similar client work, they can't find it. So they reinvent the wheel or start from scratch. Let's fix that.
SharePoint/Google Drive keyword search fails because consultants don't remember exact terms, PowerPoint content isn't text-searchable, and tribal knowledge lives in people's heads
Teams reinvent frameworks, rebuild models, and recreate analyses despite having done similar work 6 months ago
When seniors leave, critical processes and methodologies leave with them. 18-20% annual turnover means continuous knowledge hemorrhaging
No way to learn 'how we do things' except through osmosis over 6-12 months. Onboarding is slow and inconsistent
“The number of times I spend time searching for things in my own record is insane. We've done this analysis before - I know we have - but I can't find it.”— Senior Partner, N. America, Large European Consulting Firm
