Interim Management

The project areas, from reorganization to business model transformation and business development, are very broad. How can you combine all this?

Our clients want implemented solutions. When we're involved in a reorganization or transformation project, it's a natural step to also adapt the business model and make it work - in other words, classic business development. That's why we always think about these projects holistically, with the most valuable thing in mind: your customers, your market.

What is the cost structure of a project assignment and how are the fees invoiced?

In most cases, costs are limited to the monthly fee. In some cases, additional travel expenses may also be incurred, but these are only a reimbursement of costs. Billing is done exclusively through iMB.Solutions' tax number. The fee structure is always agreed individually with the client, so as not to overburden the client's cash flow.

In which currencies are the invoices billed?

Normally, invoices are issued in the currency of the place where the service is provided. In most cases, invoices are issued based on the tax number and fiscal registration of iMB.Solutions in Brazil. The invoice amount is therefore issued in Brazilian reais. In project missions outside Brazil, invoices are mainly issued in US dollars (USD), euros (EUR) or Swiss francs (CHF). iMB.Solutions can also issue invoices in cryptocurrencies in consultation with the client.

Under what conditions does it make sense to invoice in cryptocurrencies?

Invoicing in cryptocurrency is particularly interesting if the project mission has to be carried out in a country where the monetary situation is characterized by excessive volatility or no iMB.Solutions accounts are active. In such cases, traditional payment processing can be costly due to fees associated with legacy payment rails. In contrast, crypto transactions often have lower fees, saving money for both iMB.Solutions and our clients. Cryptocurrencies enable near-instant cross-border transactions, eliminating delays associated with traditional banking systems. This speed is might be advantageous for iMB.Solutions working across different countries in the same project mission. Accepting crypto payments can offer benefits like faster transactions, lower fees, and access to a global market. However, for iMB.Solutions and our clients it is essential to stay informed about any regulatory requirements and tax implications related to crypto transactions.

Who are the professionals who will work for my company?

We will only work with iMB.Solutions partners and interim and associate project managers. We are not a recruitment agency and we do not keep a bank of candidates. Our core business is your project, not the placement of staff.

Is iMB.Solutions a consulting company?

We, as iMB.Solutions, come from management on-demand (or interim management) and implementation-oriented consulting. Traditionally, our clients rarely hire conventional management consultancies. Our clients want to be presented with solutions that we implement and that work. Consulting is a by-product, but not our core business.

Is iMB.Solutions an independent company?

We are a fully independent private company. There are no commercial or other conflicts of interest with consulting firms, auditors, interim management providers, recruitment agencies or law firms.

Why do clients hire iMB.Solutions?

Companies often look to management on-demand (or interim managers) and project managers to meet specific business requirements that reflect their particular needs and challenges. These requirements reflect the need for professionals who can not only fulfill specific tasks, but also think strategically and support the company at crucial stages.

Which project missions is iMB.Solutions most active in?

The most common requirements for iMB.Solutions are: digital transformation, change management, process optimization, project management, supply chain management, finance and HR expertise. With iMB.Solutions, organizations can expect customized solutions that are not only fast, but also strategically aligned with their objectives to ensure that they can capitalize on opportunities and overcome challenges efficiently.

On average, how long does an iMB.Solutions project mission last in our organization?

A project mission can last from three to a maximum of 24 months. The avarge project mission lasts between nine to 13 months. In many cases, our clients want to conclude a contract split into two stages. This is always linked to the corresponding results, future prospects, new findings and related developments. The client's financial situation also plays a decisive role.

Are there modular project structures?

Modular project structures should always be considered in combination with the duration of a project assignment. These project structures are the predominant normal case and therefore measurably reflect the customer's development and future prospects. This means that our client always has detailed control of the project.

In which countries does iMB.Solutions have established partnerships?

iMB.Solutions has established solid partnerships in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, the USA, Canada, Germany, Switzerland and France for many years. These partnerships range from specialized management consultancies, universities and educational institutions for sustainable technology and the digital economy, start-up incubators to M&A boutiques and private equity firms.

How iMB defines the commitment of obligation?

iMB is guided by the Declaration of Commitment of International Association of Interim Managers. With this we commit ourselves: assume responsibility for our decisions and acts and report actively to our clients; treat all information with highest attention and privacy; check with all projects impartially if the prerequisites for a successful realization are given and in case of doubt reject a project or at least point out the only vague chances for success; only accept such commissions that can be matched with our experience and competence; align all actions and decisions target orientated to the project success; concentrate on the economic fulfillment of the scope of work agreed with the contract; safeguard all agreed functions, quality, delivery dates, mile stones and costs using all systems and procedures following the present professional state of art; safeguard the projected time-schedule, even in case of unforeseeable absence and do not create any dependency with personal or the organization of the client.

What AI tools were used in preparing newsletters / blogs / audio blogs / podcasts / videos?

In preparing this content, we used the following AI-based tools:

• OneBizTutor®, our agentic AI platform, applied within our project missions.

• Google Gemini Notebook Pro, to review and scan source materials and support the identification of relevant literature.

• Grammarly Pro, for language and grammar correction, and stylistic guidance on sentence clarity.

• Claude by Anthropic, for brainstorming ideas, formulating clear phrasing of concepts we had already developed, structuring sections and arguments, and iterative editing support during the drafting and revision process.

None of these tools generated the content of this newsletter and/or blog. The research question, the design and conduct of project missions and relevant market research for clients, the data collection, the analysis, and the interpretation of findings are our own independent work.

Where AI tools were used for language or formulation support, the underlying ideas and arguments originated from us. All AI-assisted text was critically reviewed, verified, and edited before inclusion.

OneBizTutor®

Here are answers to some of the most common questions about our service, our technology, and our process.

1. General & Technology

What is OneBizTutor® and how has it evolved?

OneBizTutor® is a hybrid business intelligence platform engineered by iMB.Solutions. Originally developed as a generative AI architecture, OneBizTutor® has evolved into a fully autonomous Agentic AI Strategy Engine. Instead of merely responding to static prompts, the system deploys purpose-built AI agents that actively work toward defined strategic goals—such as market entry validation, competitor analysis, tax/regulatory mapping, and scenario stress-testing across Latin America and global markets.

How does Agentic AI differ from standard Generative AI (like ChatGPT or Claude)?

Standard Generative AI is passive—it waits for human prompts, retrieves static training data, and produces text or slide summaries. Agentic AI is active and goal-driven:

• Goal Autonomy: You assign a strategic objective (e.g., "Validate zero-emission transit market entry in São Paulo"), and the agent swarm autonomously breaks it down into sub-tasks.

• Active Data Retrieval: Agents search real-time market data, regulatory feeds, and legal frameworks rather than relying on outdated training sets.

• Multi-Agent Collaboration: Agents actively debate, stress-test hypotheses, and cross-check data among themselves before producing final outputs.

2. Methodology & Human Governance

What is the 90/10 Hybrid Consulting Model?

We believe that pure AI lacks real-world contextual judgment, while pure human consulting is too slow and expensive. The 90/10 model combines:

• 90% Agentic AI Velocity: Autonomous agent swarms perform heavy-lifting data retrieval, financial modeling, regulatory mapping, and adversarial stress-testing in days rather than months.

• 10% High-Stakes Human Judgment: C-level interim managers from iMB.Solutions—bringing over 20 years of cross-border operational experience—evaluate agent outputs, resolve edge cases, and validate real-world feasibility.

Who oversees the AI agents during a project?

Every project is assigned an Orchestrator Agent that routes tasks to human review gates. Before any strategic recommendation, financial model, or Go/No-Go decision is finalized, senior executives/partners at iMB.Solutions review state snapshots, adjust parameters based on field experience, and sign off on the deliverable.

3. Data Privacy, Security & Web3

Is our confidential business data used to train public AI models?

No. We operate on a strict Zero AI Model Training policy. All agentic workflows run inside isolated, confidential compute enclaves. Your proprietary trade secrets, financial inputs, and strategic plans are completely ring-fenced and never fed back into public or foundational AI training sets.

How does OneBizTutor® use Web3 architecture to protect client IP?

We utilize a Web3-Enclave Hybrid Architecture:

• Off-Chain Encrypted Storage: Your raw project data remains in client-side encrypted storage vaults to ensure full compliance with global privacy regulations (including LGPD in Brazil and GDPR in Europe).

• On-Chain Audit Trails: Smart contracts generate tamper-proof logs of every agent calculation and human expert sign-off, utilizing Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to verify outputs without exposing underlying trade secrets.

• Zero Executive Friction: The Web3 infrastructure operates invisibly in the background—no crypto wallets, gas fees, or complex key management required.

4. Agent Swarm & Deliverables

Which AI agents make up the OneBizTutor® Swarm?

1. Supervisor / Orchestrator: Manages state workflows and human approval gates.

2. DataSuperCharger (Recon Agent): Retrieves real-time local market data and tariff/tax updates.

3. Analyst & Simulator (Quant Engine): Models unit economics and runs "What-If" scenario simulations.

4. Red Teamer (Adversarial Critic): Actively attempts to invalidate assumptions and expose hidden risks ("Grey Rhinos").

5. Contextualizer & Activator: Applies hyper-local regulatory parameters (e.g., Custo Brasil, USMCA rules) and generates localized execution briefs.

6. LaunchKit Architect: Synthesizes outputs into interactive dashboards inside your private workspace.

What is the "OneBizTutor® Project Space"?

The Project Space replaces static document decks with an interactive, living strategy workspace. As market conditions shift, local tax reforms occur, or competitors move, your agents remain active, automatically updating key metrics, regulatory alerts, and strategic roadmaps in real time.

5. Pricing, Tiers & Engagement

What engagement options are available, and how much do they cost?

We offer three structured engagement tiers based on your organizational stage:

1. Validation Spark (Starting at $12,000 USD): Rapid, 5–10 day adversarial stress-test of your core business concept against real-time market data to provide a clear Go / No-Go / Pivot decision.

2. Execution Blueprint (Starting at $35,000 USD): Comprehensive 2–4 week go-to-market roadmap, localized financial model, regulatory strategy, and complete LaunchKit.

3. Living Strategy Engine (Starting at $4,000 USD/month): Continuous retainer featuring ongoing market monitoring, automated risk alerts, and monthly executive sparring sessions.

Can we request a custom budget offer?

Yes. Because every cross-border expansion or transformation project carries unique operational and regulatory complexities, you can select your starting tier and submit your project details via our Project Space contact form to receive a tailored, custom-scoped proposal.
