AI consulting that leads from roadmap to implementation.

AI consulting that does not end at recommendations but leads your company from analysis to a working pilot. We find the use cases with the biggest leverage, check your data situation and readiness, and classify your plans under the EU AI Act. What you end with is a clear roadmap and a first pilot.

The entry point is an AI potential analysis at a fixed price (on request, creditable against a follow-up project). Not a months-long strategy exercise, but a path from strategy to pilot to scaling. Neutral advice, with delivery accompanied.

What you gain

You get a prioritized AI roadmap instead of a long wish list.

After the analysis you know which three to five use cases pay off first, what they cost and what they return.

You save time because we sort out the dead ends up front. You are safe on the EU AI Act because compliance is designed in from the start. And you end with a working pilot that proves the value, not a slide deck that gathers dust.

The process, from analysis to scaling

We work in four clear stages. First the analysis, where we capture processes, data and goals. Then the strategy, where we prioritize use cases and build a business case per case. Then the pilot, where the most important use case is implemented with guidance and goes live. Finally scaling, where we turn the pilot into a repeatable pattern for the next processes.

Readiness first

Before anyone talks about AI projects, we clarify how AI-ready your company really is. The readiness check looks at data quality, process maturity, tooling, team skills and governance. The result is a readiness score with concrete next steps. Find the free self-test at How AI-ready is your company and the interactive tool at AI readiness check.

Fixed-price entry

Many companies hesitate because AI consulting feels like an open-ended commitment. That is why the entry point is a clearly scoped AI potential analysis at a fixed price. You know up front what you get, and the amount is creditable against a follow-up project. We name prices in the strategy call, depending on scope and the number of processes reviewed.

EU AI Act as a trust anchor

Art. 4 of the EU AI Act has applied since 02.02.2025. It requires measures for an appropriate level of AI literacy among staff. We check your plans against the requirements, clarify risk classes and build competence-building and documentation directly into the roadmap. This way compliance is not an afterthought but part of the solution.

The honest difference is not the analysis itself, it is what happens afterwards. Classic consulting delivers a clean deck and leaves delivery to you. We bring the same analytical depth but lead to the first pilot so the value does not stay theoretical. More on AI consulting services.

FAQ

What does AI consulting cost?
The entry point is an AI potential analysis at a fixed price, creditable against a follow-up project. We name the concrete amount in the strategy call because it depends on scope and the number of processes. Prices are deliberately not on the page so you get an offer that fits your case.
How long does an AI consulting project take?
The AI potential analysis delivers a prioritized roadmap within a few weeks. A first accompanied pilot then goes live in further weeks depending on the use case. We work in short stages so you see results early instead of waiting months for a deck.
Do we need our own data scientists?
No. The point of the consulting is that we make the use cases deliverable with today's toolstack, without you building a data science team. Where competence is missing, we plan skills transfer so your team can continue on its own after the pilot.
How does AI consulting help with the EU AI Act obligation?
We check your plans against Art. 4 and the risk classes of the EU AI Act, build competence-building and documentation into the roadmap and make compliance visible from the start. Details on EU AI Act consulting that makes your AI practically prepared and in the strategy call.
How do you measure ROI?
On the first pilot. Instead of claiming ROI on slides, we define a measurable metric per use case up front, such as hours saved or faster throughput, and measure it on the running pilot. That makes the value tangible before you scale.
What happens after the analysis?
You have a prioritized roadmap with a business case per use case. From there you continue on your own or we accompany the delivery of the first pilot. There is no obligation to a follow-up, and the fixed price of the analysis is creditable.
Which company sizes does AI consulting suit?
The focus is mid-market and SME, where clear processes meet limited resources. We support enterprise clients on governance and roll-out, scaleups on fast use cases. The roadmap adapts to size and maturity.
