You will be provided with a reference and some statements. Please determine whether each statement is 'supported', 'unsupported', or 'unknown' with respect to the reference. Please note:
First, assess whether the reference contains any valid content. If the reference contains no valid information, such as a 'page not found' message, then all statements should be considered 'unknown'.
If the reference is valid, for a given statement: if the facts or data it contains can be found entirely or partially within the reference, it is considered 'supported' (data accepts rounding); if all facts and data in the statement cannot be found in the reference, it is considered 'unsupported'.

You should return the result in a JSON list format, where each item in the list contains the statement's index and the judgment result, for example:
[
    {
        "idx": 1,
        "result": "supported"
    },

Press release

Bain & Company makes pioneering deployments of state-of-the-art AI tools worldwide

Groundbreaking suite of 12 AI tools rolled out to teams and offices since early 2023

Cutting-edge technology includes Sage, a proprietary ChatGPT-powered platform that rapidly synthesizes firmwide information, data and insight to drive client work

Tools will fuel teams’ productivity and maximize value delivered for clients

BOSTON
—
September 26, 2023
—Bain & Company is pleased to confirm more details of its pioneering use of artificial intelligence tools it has developed and is deploying worldwide to equip its 18,500-strong multi-disciplinary teams with an extensive and powerful suite of cutting-edge AI technology.

The groundbreaking AI tools have been rolled out across the firm in planned phases since early in 2023.

At the core of the technology solutions now enabling ‘Bainies’ worldwide with AI to enhance their efficiency, productivity, and the effectiveness of their work is
Sage,
a state-of-the-art proprietary chat platform powered by GPT 4.0 LLM from OpenAI. Sage provides Bain teams ability to generate incredible insights leveraging the wealth of Bain’s collective proprietary data and expertise in a matter of seconds.

It combines this with a simple and seamless front-end for users, allowing Bainies to harness it to accelerate and strengthen innovation and the development of business ideas and solutions firm-wide.

Sage is one of 12 generative AI-based tools Bain has deployed. It was developed in collaboration with OpenAI, the company behind the large-language-model AI technologies ChatGPT and GPT-4, with which Bain & Company formed a
global strategic alliance
in February this year.

“The world continues to find powerful uses for AI that fuel innovation, productivity and business growth. It’s vital for companies to identify not just how AI will impact them, but to also master how they can benefit from this technology that will be critical to long-term competitive advantage,” said
Manny Maceda
, Bain’s worldwide managing partner. “At Bain, we understand the importance of exploring these new capabilities now and of equipping our teams with the tools to bring AI’s full potential to our clients.”

In addition to Sage, Bain is also implementing a full range of other AI-powered tools across the firm. These include Microsoft Copilot, which harnesses the power of generative AI to enhance productivity by performing routine tasks, draft content, and summarizes insights across the Microsoft Office product suite.

Other examples of Bain’s proprietary generative AI capabilities include the Expert Call Guide Draft Generator which assists in drafting interview guides and a tool which categorizes datasets and provides sentiment analysis. Still more AI tools are in development at Bain with the goal of deploying AI securely, safely and at scale in the firm.

“I am incredibly proud of what our firm and our technology and knowledge teams have been able to accomplish as we realize and leverage the benefits of AI,” said
Ramesh Razdan
, Bain’s global chief technology and information officer. “Rolling out new technologies at this level can be challenging, especially when the technology is still evolving. Our teams have been exceptional in providing the market-leading capabilities and the proper training necessary to effectively deploy generative AI, helping employees understand what these tools can do for them.”

1. The common output pattern is platformization: Sage and other generative-AI tools at Bain.
2. Talent scaling is equally prominent: 18,500 Bain teams equipped with tools.
3. Client-facing examples include Bain internal Sage tools.
4. For Bain, the evidence gives tool and workforce details but no AI investment amount; Bain's release states that 12 generative-AI tools were rolled out since early 2023 and that the firm has a US$2 billion pro bono consulting pledge by 2035, but the latter is not described as an AI investment
5. Bain's Sage is a proprietary ChatGPT/GPT-4-powered platform developed in collaboration with OpenAI, designed to synthesize Bain's collective proprietary data and expertise
6. It is one of 12 generative-AI tools deployed firm-wide, alongside Microsoft Copilot, an Expert Call Guide Draft Generator, and a dataset categorization and sentiment analysis tool
7. Client-level evidence is thinner than platform evidence, and the named cases in this section rest mainly on vendor announcements rather than audited outcome reports
8. Bain client or use case: internal teams
9. Bain application scenario: Sage, Microsoft Copilot, expert-call drafting, dataset categorization and sentiment analysis
10. Bain evidence status: firm-wide rollout; the release describes internal tools rather than client cases
11. Microsoft appears in several programs: Bain's use of Microsoft Copilot alongside its OpenAI alliance
12. Bain says its AI tools equip 18,500 multi-disciplinary teams and that proper training was part of the rollout
13. The evidence establishes tool rollouts for Bain
14. The evidence establishes application scenarios in internal knowledge work at Bain
