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 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.
What is an AI readiness check?
An AI readiness check assesses how well your company is set up for AI. It checks data quality, process maturity, tooling, skills and governance and delivers a score with next steps. Find the free self-test at AI readiness check.
Do we need our own data scientists?
No. 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?
Since 02.02.2025, Art. 4 of the EU AI Act requires AI competence 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 becomes part of the solution.
Is there funding for AI projects?
Depending on region and program, yes. We are not a funding consultancy but flag in the roadmap where funding is realistically an option and document the initiatives in a funding-friendly way. We clarify concrete programs by location in the strategy call.
How do you measure ROI?
On the first pilot. 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, instead of claiming ROI on slides.
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.
Do you stay neutral in tool choice?
Yes. We do not sell a single product but recommend the stack that fits your case. Where data is sensitive, we keep processing in Germany and the EU so data protection stays robust and traceable.
