About Minuci Advisory

Economic reasoning first.

Minuci Advisory is an independent consulting practice that combines economic analysis with AI workflow design. The work starts by defining the decision, outcome, or process that matters, then determining where better measurement or AI can improve it.

Minuci founded the practice from two parts of his professional work. His research examines how incentives, market structure, and institutional rules shape decisions and outcomes in professional sports and banking, with work across industrial organization, labor economics, and financial economics.

He also builds AI-augmented systems for his own research and teaching. Those systems help organize evidence, check sources, manage data, develop course materials, and reduce repetitive work while keeping judgment and verification with the person doing the work.

Minuci Advisory brings those two areas together. Economic reasoning defines the problem first. The analysis, workflow, or AI system is then built around what the decision actually requires.

Method & Model

The judgment comes first.

The hardest part of an analysis is usually deciding what should be measured, what comparison makes sense, and what evidence would change the decision. Parts of the data work and reporting can be automated. Framing the question still requires judgment.

Brand thesis

Knowledge that compounds.
Across eras.

The torch transmits knowledge across centuries. Prometheus carried fire down to humanity. Liberty raises her torch over the harbor. University seals carry it as a sign of learning. The firm carries the same fire: methodology refined by economic theory, brought into the operating decisions of a business.
