Strategic advisory for the AI era

Reputation is becoming a multidimensional strategic challenge. Organizations are increasingly shaped not only by media, financial and corporate narratives, but also by AI systems, institutional stakeholders and evolving information ecosystems. Narris helps leaders understand these dynamics and turn them into strategic decisions, combining AI Narrative Intelligence, perception analysis and executive advisory.

01

Corporate & Brand Reputation

Why It Matters

Generative AI is becoming an influential layer between organizations and the audiences that matter to them: customers, journalists, analysts and partners increasingly begin their research with AI-generated summaries rather than a company's own communications. A fading or inaccurate narrative can spread across these systems long before it becomes visible through traditional monitoring.

Executive Questions We Help Answer

  • How do AI systems currently describe our organization, our brands and our products?
  • How does our positioning compare with competitors' in AI-generated recommendations?
  • Which media narratives and sources are shaping how AI systems describe us?
  • Where does our AI perception diverge from our intended positioning?
  • Which issues are becoming increasingly associated with our organization?

02

Executive Reputation

A leader's credibility increasingly precedes them into the room, shaped as much by how AI systems represent them as by direct interaction. Narris evaluates how AI systems describe a chief executive or senior leader – their expertise, credibility and consistency with the positioning the organization intends for them.

Typical Deliverables

  • Executive AI Perception Assessment
  • Narrative Alignment Review
  • Competitive AI Benchmark
  • Executive Briefing

Typical Clients

  • Chief Executive Officers
  • Senior Executives
  • Boards of Directors
  • Corporate Communications

Why It Matters

Executives are interpreted before they speak: boards, investors, journalists and partners increasingly consult AI systems as a first reference point. A gap between an executive's intended positioning and how AI systems actually represent them can quietly undermine authority long before it surfaces in a boardroom.

Executive Questions We Help Answer

  • How do AI systems currently describe our chief executive or senior leaders?
  • Which themes are consistently associated with them?
  • How does their AI perception compare with peer executives?
  • Where does it diverge from the positioning we intend?
  • Which associations could put their credibility at risk?

03

Crisis & Issues Management

Crises rarely emerge without warning: signals almost always exist beforehand, increasingly inside AI-generated narratives as much as traditional media. Narris combines continuous risk detection across AI systems with senior strategic counsel – from anticipating emerging issues to advising through an active crisis and its recovery.

Typical Deliverables

  • Narrative Risk Alerts
  • Narrative Vulnerability Assessment
  • Strategic Response Recommendations
  • Crisis Intelligence Briefings
  • Decision Support Updates

Typical Clients

  • Risk Functions
  • Corporate Affairs
  • Executive Committees
  • Crisis Management Teams
  • Boards of Directors
Read moreShow less

Why It Matters

Modern crises evolve simultaneously across traditional media, digital ecosystems and AI systems, which can amplify or entrench a narrative long before it plays out publicly. Leadership teams that recognize weak signals early retain far more control over outcomes than those forced to react in real time.

Executive Questions We Help Answer

  • Which sensitive topics are emerging around our organization, before they become visible elsewhere?
  • How is an active situation being interpreted across AI systems and media?
  • Which narratives are becoming dominant, and how quickly?
  • What is the most defensible strategic response?
  • What does recovery require once the acute phase has passed?

04

Employer Reputation

Talent decisions increasingly begin with an AI-generated impression of what it is like to work somewhere. Narris evaluates how AI systems describe an organization's culture, management, compensation and working conditions, drawing on the same sources that increasingly shape candidate perception.

Typical Deliverables

  • Employer AI Perception Assessment
  • Competitive AI Benchmark
  • Source Attribution Analysis
  • Executive Briefing

Typical Clients

  • Chief Human Resources Officers
  • Talent Acquisition Leaders
  • Corporate Communications
  • Executive Committees
Read moreShow less

Why It Matters

Employer reputation has long been shaped by review platforms and word of mouth; AI systems now synthesize that material into a single, confident-sounding answer for anyone researching an employer, often without nuance. A distorted employer narrative can affect recruitment long before it appears in employee surveys.

Executive Questions We Help Answer

  • How do AI systems currently describe our culture and management?
  • How does our employer brand compare with competitors' in AI-generated recommendations?
  • Which sources most influence how AI systems describe us as an employer?
  • Where does our AI perception diverge from our intended employer brand?

05

Financial Communications & Investor Relations

Investors, analysts and financial media increasingly consult AI systems to interpret earnings, strategy and the investment case behind a company. Narris evaluates how AI systems represent an organization's financial performance, strategy and equity story, and identifies where facts, guidance or executive statements are cited inaccurately.

Typical Deliverables

  • Equity Story Perception Assessment
  • Narrative Accuracy Review
  • Executive Briefing
  • Board Briefing

Typical Clients

  • Chief Financial Officers
  • Investor Relations Officers
  • Corporate Communications
  • Boards of Directors
Read moreShow less

Why It Matters

The equity story a company controls in its own disclosures is not always the one AI systems repeat back to the market. A misquoted figure or a distorted guidance range can shape investor perception well before it is corrected.

Executive Questions We Help Answer

  • How do AI systems currently describe our financial performance and strategy?
  • Is our equity story being represented accurately?
  • Are our guidance and executive statements cited correctly?
  • Which sources are shaping the market narrative around us?

06

Capital Markets Communications

Mergers, acquisitions and listings unfold under intense narrative scrutiny, compressed into a short and highly sensitive window. Narris evaluates how AI systems represent a transaction, the parties involved and the strategic rationale behind it, throughout the deal cycle.

Typical Deliverables

  • Transaction Narrative Assessment
  • Executive Briefing
  • Board Briefing
  • Decision Support Updates

Typical Clients

  • Corporate Development
  • Investment Banking Advisors
  • Investor Relations
  • Executive Committees
Read moreShow less

Why It Matters

A transaction's narrative can shift quickly across AI systems during a live deal or an offering window, precisely when reputational missteps are least reversible. Understanding how a transaction is represented in real time allows leadership to intervene before a misleading narrative takes hold.

Executive Questions We Help Answer

  • How is our transaction, or a target/acquirer, currently represented across AI systems?
  • Which narratives could affect deal or listing perception?
  • Is our strategic rationale being represented accurately during the transaction window?
  • What emerging narratives could affect market confidence?

07

Public Affairs & Regulatory Reputation

Policymakers, regulators and the advisers around them increasingly rely on AI systems to synthesize positions on political and regulatory matters. Narris evaluates how an organization, its positions and its regulatory relationships are represented across AI systems and the information ecosystems that inform public debate.

Typical Deliverables

  • Narrative Mapping
  • Stakeholder Influence Analysis
  • Executive Briefing
  • Decision Support Updates

Typical Clients

  • Public Affairs
  • Government Relations
  • Regulatory Affairs
  • Corporate Affairs
Read moreShow less

Why It Matters

Regulatory narratives are shaped by a dense mix of institutional sources, media coverage and expert commentary, increasingly filtered through AI systems before reaching decision-makers. An organization that doesn't understand how its position is represented risks arguing against a narrative it never knew existed.

Executive Questions We Help Answer

  • How do AI systems represent our position on key regulatory or policy matters?
  • How is our relationship with regulators being characterized?
  • Which stakeholders and narratives are shaping this debate?
  • Where might our position be misrepresented?

08

ESG & Sustainability Communications

Sustainability claims are judged with growing scrutiny, and AI systems increasingly weigh in on whether an organization's actions match its stated commitments. Narris evaluates how AI systems represent an organization's ESG performance, and identifies where perception diverges from evidence.

Typical Deliverables

  • ESG AI Perception Assessment
  • Competitive AI Benchmark
  • Source Attribution Analysis
  • Executive Briefing

Typical Clients

  • Chief Sustainability Officers
  • ESG & Sustainability Teams
  • Corporate Communications
  • Investor Relations
Read moreShow less

Why It Matters

Greenwashing accusations increasingly originate from how AI systems characterize a gap between commitments and results, not only from activist or media scrutiny. Understanding this representation early allows organizations to correct a misleading narrative, or substantiate a credible one, before it hardens into conventional wisdom.

Executive Questions We Help Answer

  • How do AI systems currently describe our ESG commitments and performance?
  • Is our sustainability narrative substantiated, or at risk of appearing exaggerated?
  • How does our ESG narrative compare with peers'?
  • Which sources are shaping our ESG reputation?
