From complexity to capability: developing the MIG6 Digital Twin

At Tactical Advisory Group, we approach innovation with a clear principle: technology only delivers value when it is structured, purposeful, and aligned with real business needs. The development of the MIG6 agent, the Digital Twin of our MIG6 consultants, is a clear reflection of this approach: translating a complex domain within the energy sector into a scalable and practical solution that supports our consultants in their day-to-day work.

Starting from a clear ambition

The MIG6 environment is highly complex and specialized. Consultants work with extensive Atrias documentation, complex market processes, detailed XML messages, and recurring troubleshooting and testing challenges. This creates a strong dependency on individual expertise, makes onboarding slower and knowledge transfer more difficult. The objective was therefore clear: create a standalone tool that can support MIG6 consultants in their day-to-day work by making knowledge more accessible, reducing repetitive effort, and increasing speed and consistency in execution. Rather than starting with disconnected ideas or technology-first thinking, the focus was placed on defining the right foundations. Which consultant's pain points matter most? Which use cases create immediate value? And what architecture is required to make the solution sustainable beyond a first prototype?

Focusing on the use cases that matter most

To translate this ambition into something tangible, the first step was to focus on areas where consultants spend the most time and where complexity creates friction: accessing knowledge, understanding MIG6 messages, preparing test data, and resolving data issues.

A first priority was the creation of a central knowledge capability.MIG6 consultants often spend significant time navigating large volumes of documentation to answer specific questions. The Digital Twin addresses this by acting as an intelligent knowledge layer that can answer MIG6-relatedquestions, explain concepts and processes, and connect information across sources.

A second focus area is the interpretation of MIG6 market messages. Understanding their business meaning is not always straightforward, particularly when message structures, codes, and process context must be considered together. Here, the agent helps by translating XML into business language, annotating messages inline, summarizing their meaning, and validating their coherence within a broader process flow.

Finally, XML mocking and test preparation were identified as key value drivers. Creating or adapting test messages manually is time-consuming and requires detailed expertise. The solution supports this by translating business instructions into technically correct XML messages, adjusting existing messages, and generating relevant test data more efficiently.

Ensuring reliability at scale

In a domain like MIG6, accuracy and consistency are critical. That is why testing was embedded as a core part of the development approach, rather than treated as an afterthought. A structured framework was set up, combining traditional application testing with AI-specific evaluation. This goes beyond verifying technical functionality, focusing instead on output quality, ensuring that results are accurate, complete, relevant, consistent, and trustworthy across different scenarios. By embedding testing into the development process itself, a strong foundation was created to build trust and enable scalable, reliable adoption in a professional environment.

Creating practical value for consultants

What makes the MIG6 Digital Twin particularly valuable is not the technology alone, but the practical nature of the problems it addresses. It reduces time spent searching through documentation, accelerates understanding of messages and processes within the energy sector, supports test preparation, and improves troubleshooting. In doing so, it enhances exactly those repetitive but knowledge-intensive tasks where efficiency gains have an immediate impact.At the same time, it reflects a broader vision. A Digital Twin is not about replacing expertise, it is about amplifying it. By making knowledge more accessible and less dependent on individual experience, it creates value across teams and improves overall quality and consistency.

A pragmatic view on innovation

The MIG6 agent demonstrates what is possible when artificial intelligence is approached in a structured and pragmatic way, not as hype, but as a means to solve meaningful business problems. At Tactical Advisory Group, we focus on turning complexity into capability, combining domain understanding, architectural thinking, and a commitment to usability and testing.

We see digital enablement as most valuable when it strengthens day-to-day execution. The MIG6 Digital Twin is a clear example of that principle: a focused effort to make specialized work more efficient, more consistent, and more scalable. Because ultimately, as organizations continue to explore how AI can support knowledge-intensive work, the real differentiator will not be access to technology alone. It will be the ability to translate complex expertise into tools that are usable, reliable, and grounded in operational reality.

That is exactly where we aim to make the difference.

What our consultants are saying

“I love the structure, it immediately provides me with what's relevant.”

"For straightforward questions, the answers can be more elaborate than you'd expect. But the moment things get complex, that's where the agent really shines. The structured, relevant support it provides in those situations is exactly what we were hoping for."

"I'd say it's already performing at the level of someone five months into a project — and that's no small thing."

"The agent’s answers made me work more efficiently.”
