Advisory and consultative both mean non-binding and meant to give opinions, but they differ. Advisory stresses a one-way, official notice or warning. Consultative stresses a two-way process of discussion and asking for opinions before a decision. The 'advisor' noun use is not compared here.

两者都指“非强制性、以提供意见为目的”，但 advisory 强调单向发布的正式提醒或警示，而 consultative 强调决策前双向讨论、征求意见的过程。这里不比较 advisory 可能出现的“顾问职位”等名词化用法。
