Michael Teys - Strata Advisory, Research and Training

What Michael Teys - Strata Advisory, Research and Training does

Michael Teys Strata Advisory Pty Ltd is a privately held Australian advisory, research, and training firm operating from Potts Point, Sydney, that serves the strata management sector. The company is led by founder and principal advisor Michael Teys and provides consulting, training, SOPs, and thought leadership content to strata management businesses and to corporate and institutional owners of strata property. Its core products include one-on-one advisory engagements, The Strata™ online platform offering state and territory specific operating procedures and practice management templates, the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) add-on covering 61 tasks, paid training courses (including 'Your Strata Business Advantage'), and the weekly 'The Strata Professional' newsletter.

The firm's underlying technology is modest and partner-dependent: it has codified its advisory methodology into subscription-accessible templates and SOPs, and in October 2025 launched the AI Pet Approval Robot, an autonomous text-based decision agent co-developed with AI partner Actium AI that processes strata pet approval applications in under a minute. The product is positioned as the first in a planned series of AI strata robots, signaling an intent to transition from pure human advisory into a hybrid advisory-plus-automation model.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across channel-based and IP-based streams: quote-based advisory engagements, paid course and SOP/template sales, newsletter-driven top-of-funnel demand, and emerging AI product monetization. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and free 30-minute consultations are offered to new clients. The firm is entirely founder-owned with no external investment, parent company, or subsidiaries, and its scale is constrained to a 1-10 employee structure with content marketing (LinkedIn, YouTube, blog, collaborative webinars with LookUpStrata) as the primary demand-generation channel.
