Fig vs. the consultancies

Enterprise-grade AI systems in production, on one platform.

Accenture, McKinsey and BCG deliver strategy decks, reports and roadmaps, then build use cases project by project on platforms the model labs and cloud providers license to them. Fig builds every system on CosmOS, its own enterprise-grade platform at the frontier, with security and governance built in and each new system starting from what the last one built.

Fig vs. Accenture, McKinsey & BCG, in short

Accenture, McKinsey and BCG deliver AI strategy as decks, reports and roadmaps, then build use cases as separate projects on platforms licensed from the labs they hold alliances with, and sell the running of the result as managed services. Fig builds every system on CosmOS, its own enterprise-grade platform: connected to the whole business, with single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, approval gates and a full audit trail built in, running in the company's own cloud, and routing every task across every frontier lab and the best open-weight models. The systems keep improving after launch, measured against a baseline.

Accenture, McKinsey & BCG

Consultancies price AI programs as engagements staffed by their teams. The platforms underneath, such as OpenAI's, Anthropic's or Google's, are licensed separately, and running the result is a further managed-services contract.

With Fig, the platform and the people who build on it come from one partner.

Fig vs. Accenture, McKinsey & BCG in detail

Enterprise-grade from the first pilot

Strategy engagements deliver decks, reports and a roadmap, and each use case is then built as its own project on whichever platform the client licensed. Fig puts every system into production on CosmOS with enterprise security built in from the first pilot: single sign-on with SAML and OIDC, SCIM provisioning, scoped roles, approval gates before consequential actions, break-glass re-authentication and a full audit trail with export, running in the company's own cloud.

Every system builds on the last

McKinsey's own 2025 State of AI survey found that nearly two-thirds of organizations had not yet begun scaling AI across the enterprise. On CosmOS, every new system reuses the same connected systems, digital twin, evaluations and governance, so each one starts from what the last one built and the whole estate is secured and measured in one place.

A platform of Fig's own, at the frontier

The consultancies' AI programs run on platforms built by the labs and cloud providers, and their teams train on those tools: Accenture's Anthropic Business Group trained about 30,000 people on Claude. Fig builds and runs CosmOS itself, from connected systems and a live digital twin to agents, AI primitives across voice, vision, image, video, research and computer use, and the apps people use every day.

Every model, chosen per task

Accenture, McKinsey and BCG are all OpenAI Frontier Alliance partners, McKinsey is an investor in OpenAI's Deployment Company, Accenture runs a dedicated Anthropic business group, and Google Cloud is putting $750 million into its partners' agentic AI work. Fig routes every task to the best model across every frontier lab and the best open-weight models, chosen on evaluations.

Software that keeps running

Consultancies sell the running of what they build as managed services, which made up $43.7 billion of Accenture's $84.5 billion in fiscal 2026 bookings. Systems Fig builds run on CosmOS, improve continuously after launch and are measured monthly against the baseline set in the first audit, with every action in the audit trail.

Who Fig is for

Companies that want enterprise-grade AI systems in production within weeks, on one secure platform where every new system builds on the last, with every frontier lab's models and software that keeps improving after launch.
