FAQ
Before
you ask.
Everyone's questions, short answers.
Who are you, in practice?
CASTE Strategy is a strategic partner: you can hand us the whole project, from consulting to the hands-on work, and when specialists are needed we bring in people we trust, with no extra steps for you.
Who do I talk to during the project?
To us, from the strategy to the final revisions: the people who know your project from day one see it through to the end. You can rely on us for everything, consulting and execution, and nothing gets lost along the way.
How much does it cost to work with you?
It depends on the project. We usually start with strategic consulting, a fixed-scope project with a price agreed before we begin. The rest (tests, launch, AI systems) is quoted afterwards, based on what came out of it. In the first call, which is free, we understand your goal, then we send you a clear proposal, with no padded packages.
How quickly can we start?
After the first call we send you the proposal with dates. Strategic consulting is quick, with timings agreed at the start; a launch depends on the size of the project; for an AI system the timing depends on what it has to do, and we confirm it in the proposal. Every phase has clear deliverables and dates.
Do you only work with certain sectors?
We work with companies of every sector and size: craftspeople and shops, professional firms, manufacturing, distribution, retail, product brands, B2B services, and businesses just starting out. For medical practices and clinics there is Eleva Medica, our dedicated brand.
What exactly does an AI system do?
It does the repetitive work for you and helps you with everything else: it replies to new contacts, publishes content, updates your customer list, prepares reports, documents and quotes, and finds the information you need. It uses the tools you already have, and where needed it asks you before acting. The details are in the AI Systems section.
What if we don't end up working together?
No problem. You still come out of the free call with three concrete priorities to start from, even if you decide not to go ahead with us.
What is Mondo Parallelo and how reliable is it?
It's a service where we test a launch, a price, a message or a new market in a simulated market, populated by AI profiles that represent your audience. It brings out doubts, objections and weak spots before the launch, and shows which options are worth testing. It's a simulation: it doesn't replace real people, which is why the report always says what to check on the market and how. The details are on the Mondo Parallelo page.
Do you also work with large companies?
Yes. With larger organisations we usually start with a fixed-scope project, such as strategic consulting or a test on a concrete decision: you judge our work before committing to something bigger.
Do you also help reorganise the business?
Yes. Lost leads, wasted budget and tools that don't talk to each other are usually symptoms of a problem of organisation or strategy. With strategic consulting we put processes, roles and tools in order, reposition the business in the market and help it create new products and services, with the tools of the big consulting firms: McKinsey 7S, RACI matrix, OKRs, design thinking, BCG matrix, Ansoff matrix, Blue Ocean, Porter's five forces, PESTEL, SWOT, anthropological research, Jobs to be done, customer journey map, Business Model Canvas.
