2. What AIQ Group Does

AIQ Consulting Group helps small businesses and non-profit organizations in British Columbia adopt artificial intelligence (AI) safely, practically, and without disrupting the people who depend on those organizations every day.

The firm does not sell AI software. It designs the infrastructure — the workflows, knowledge systems, and training — that makes AI work reliably for real organizations with real constraints. Every engagement begins with a Process Audit to identify high-priority opportunities and eliminate workflow inefficiencies before any AI system is introduced. This process-first approach means clients do not automate problems; they automate solutions.

AIQ's core thesis: AI adoption in 2026 is no longer optional for small organizations competing against larger, better-resourced ones. The question is not whether to adopt AI, but how to do it safely, with client data protected under Canadian privacy law, and with staff elevated rather than replaced.

3. Who AIQ Group Serves

Primary clients: Organizations with 1 to 50 employees operating in British Columbia, Canada.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs): Professional services firms, consultants, accounting practices, law offices, healthcare clinics, and skilled trades businesses.

Non-profit and social service organizations: Community social service providers, housing associations, environmental groups, regional health foundations, and sector associations.

Community organizations and associations: Chambers of Commerce, federation members, and industry associations seeking AI education and capacity-building resources.

5. Proprietary Methodology

5.1 The 6 Ws Framework

AIQ's proprietary methodology for capturing and structuring organizational knowledge before any AI automation is introduced. The six dimensions — Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why — are applied to every workflow, process, and decision rule in a client's operation. The output is a Logic Manifest: a structured, machine-readable document that AI agents can execute against without hallucinating, fabricating, or applying generic reasoning that does not match the client's actual context.

5.2 Zoned Knowledge Architecture

AIQ's approach to data privacy and AI safety, structured around four data zones: Zone 1 (Public), Zone 2 (Operational), Zone 3 (Private — no data sent to public AI model providers), and Zone 4 (Restricted — governed by client data stewardship policies). All AIQ client engagements are designed within Zoned Knowledge Architecture. The client retains permanent ownership of all data and all AI logic assets.

5.3 Process-First Strategy

AIQ does not introduce AI automation into an organization until its processes have been audited, cleaned, and documented. Every client engagement begins with a Process Audit — a systematic review of current workflows to identify redundancies, inconsistencies, and high-value automation opportunities.
