Mind maps for consultants
Turn your notes into a mind map
See how one topic hangs together.
A long note about a finding becomes branches you can follow, which is a different pass over the same material than reading an engagement folder again.
A mind map generated from any note in one step
Or write the outline yourself and Grape draws it, on any plan
Branches follow the structure you already wrote
Zoom around the map on desktop or phone
The map stays attached to the note it came from
Structure you cannot see in prose
Long notes hide their shape. A map puts it back on the surface.
Revision that is not rereading
Walking a map is a different pass over the same material.
Built from your note, not a template
The branches come from what you wrote, in your own words.
Follow one branch at a time
Open the part you are stuck on and leave the rest folded away.
A real map on a small screen
Pan and zoom on the phone instead of squinting at a picture of it.
The map stays with the note
It sits in the note it came from, ready the next time you open it.
Executive summary
Three things that stop being billable friction
Not a capability list. What changes when interviews become findings the same day.
01
Interview week ends with ten recordings and no findings.
Interviews become findings the same day
Record, transcribe, then ask what came up across the whole engagement folder.
02
Switching clients means fifteen minutes of reading before you can think.
Switch clients without losing the thread
One folder per engagement and search that works across all of them when you need a precedent.
03
You solved a version of this two years ago and cannot find the deck.
Reuse what you learned last time
Ask your archive how you handled a similar problem two years ago.
An engagement
What that looks like for consultants
Three points in a project where the tool changes the work.
01
Discovery week
Record every interview into the client folder and let search find the patterns.
02
Synthesis
Ask for the themes, check the quotes, and draft the findings in the same note.
03
Between engagements
Search old work for the framework you built and adapt it.
The rest of the app
What Else Grape Does
Every part of the app is built around the same idea: keep what you write, and hand it back when you need it.
Questions
Questions Before You Install It
The rest of them live in the help center.
Not for rewriting your notes.
Client interviews, site visits, findings and drafts in one library, so the deliverable comes out of the work you already did instead of a blank page.
