# DeciBio

A 50-person specialized management consulting firm cited as a case study for AI's impact on hiring. Despite experiencing **double-digit revenue growth**, DeciBio used AI efficiency gains to shrink its incoming entry-level class from **15 people in 2021 to a planned 4 hires** for the upcoming year — the flagship anecdote behind [[claim-entry-level-slashing]].

**Enrichment context:** Canonical URL `https://decibio.com`. A health-care and life-sciences focused consulting/analytics firm — relatively small and specialized. No open-web evidence was found to independently confirm the specific hiring numbers cited; treat the 15→4 figure as article-sourced/anecdotal.
