Sakora Advisors LLC
Strategy and AI advisory for mid-market companies in any sector; site and power advisory for industrial real estate. Each engagement ends with a deliverable you keep and operate.
Who I Serve
Sector knowledge comes from your team. The method comes from me.
Services
Thirteen engagements in two series. Every one is scoped to a decision, a timeline, and a deliverable you keep.
How your people use AI today, where value and risk sit, and what to do first.
A policy set plus the client-facing statement and RFP answers.
Roles move from pilots to daily use, measured against the baseline.
One expert’s method becomes packaged skills and a tool your team operates.
Senior AI leadership, about two days a week.
A go / conditional go / no verdict, with the conditions that would reverse it.
The session, plus a one-page board paper.
Sites ranked on cost, labor, demographics, power, and readiness — change the weights, watch the ranking move.
Land value as the residual of rent against yield on cost, with a negotiation range.
Submit / fix / stop against the buyer’s published criteria and public records.
Grid vs. behind-the-meter vs. hybrid, with an investor-ready summary.
A target list built from a buy box, with introductions drafted for your approval.
A decision log and on-call memos for a standing pipeline.
Close-Ready deal-side planning for acquisitions and owner transitions · CRE deal teardowns · human-reviewed lease abstraction · strategic planning portals · growth, valuation, go-to-market, and investment cases.
Method
Six principles govern every engagement, whatever the sector.
The decision is named before any analysis begins, so the work answers a real question.
Each number is marked verified, asserted, or estimated — with its source and date.
Failed tests are shown first. The fee never depends on a favorable answer.
The same model serves the working team and the board — no second set of numbers.
Deliverables are single files your team operates. No platform lock-in.
AI assists the work; a person checks and stands behind every deliverable.
Proof
Recent work, described at the level confidentiality allows.
Baseline, a maturity ladder by role, governance, and a client-facing AI statement.
179 interactive tools — 143 with adjustable inputs — and 8 packaged skills.
A ranked model for a 2M+ SF facility across five markets.
The analysis recommended not submitting the site yet — and showed what to fix first.
103 developer targets identified and 29 project ideas developed.
A national occupier’s five-year renewal book, ranked by leverage.
An investment case that returned a conditional-go verdict, with the conditions stated.
Why now
JLL’s 2025 survey: 92% of occupiers are piloting AI; only 5% achieved all program goals. This practice closes the pilot-to-production gap.
About
