Built from years of Advisory
Citadel Labs was built around one recurring problem we saw in advisory work: smart teams losing critical hours assembling research and formatting deliverables instead of making decisions.
Across consulting, capital markets, and strategy engagements, the pattern was consistent. Professionals had tools for chat, but not for finished output. That gap is exactly what Zypher is designed to close.
Based in Toronto, Canada, we're building Zypher — a professional intelligence companion that remembers your context, tracks what changed, and delivers work your stakeholders can act on.
“I built the system I wanted in every engagement: clear signal, defensible analysis, and a finished deliverable ready for the room.”
