03 / Two delivery modes

With you, or for you.
Same methodology. Same outcome.

Your team's capacity and ambition determine the mode, not the scope.

Co-delivery

Your team builds. With expert coaching.

Lower investment · higher internal capability

Andreas as named coach and architect throughout.
Your team implements with structured guidance.
Weekly check-ins, quality gates, decision support.
You build internal AI muscle that stays after the engagement ends.
Best when you have operators who want to learn.

Full delivery

Specialists build. You steer.

Higher investment · faster delivery

Andreas as accountable senior lead, plus the specialists the mandate requires.
Remote Native specialists build the workflows.
UX, DevOps, Development, ML, matched to your ecosystem.
Your team focuses on business, not implementation.
Best when speed matters more than internal training.

04 / Investment

Transparent pricing.
No surprises.

06 / Upgrade paths

Start small. Scale when you're ready.

No re-scoping. No lost context. The same team picks up where you left off.

Business Case → Production Proof

Finished the Business Case? The Production Proof extends it into a full workflow build. €5k from the Business Case is credited. Same team, same context, no ramp-up cost.

Production Proof → Scale

The workflow is live. Now extend to the full operating system, decision architecture, delegation, governance. The foundation from Production Proof carries forward.

Business Case → Scale

Know you want the full build? Go straight from the Business Case to Scale. €5k credited. 13 weeks start-to-finish.

Any Plan → Modernization

If the workflow cannot ship because the stack blocks it, the Modernization engagement rebuilds the foundation first, in production slices.

07 / How this looks for your industry

Same methodology. Different workflows.

Insurance & Risk Services

Claims intake automation, expert opinion preparation, underwriting document extraction. Active design partner: straight-through decisioning on the cases that already follow a pattern.

Retail & E-commerce

Catalog management, customer-service classification, returns processing. OTTO Group: a 60% cost reduction in catalog image processing across the full assortment.

Read the OTTO Group case →

Industrial & Machinery

After-sales inquiry routing, technical document admin, spare-parts classification. Active engagement: shortening the path from a customer request to a correct answer.

08 / How this is set up

Senior ownership, specialist capacity, production accountability.

The three things that decide whether an AI programme reaches production, and who is answerable for each.

Senior ownership

One accountable senior lead connects the business case, the operating model, the architecture and the outcome. The same person is on the call in week 2 and in week 13.

Specialist capacity

Engineering, architecture and domain depth assembled around the mandate through the expert network and strategic partners. It scales with the work instead of waiting on a bench.

Production accountability

Measured in production against the baseline agreed in the Business Case. A workflow that does not move the metric is not finished, whatever the plan said.

09 / FAQ

Questions before the call.

What's the difference between co-delivery and full delivery?

Co-delivery: your team implements with Andreas coaching and guiding every step. You build internal AI capability. Full delivery: Remote Native specialists, UX, DevOps, ML, Development, build the workflows for you. Same methodology, same quality gates, different who-does-the-work.

Can I start with the Business Case and decide later?

Yes, that's the design. the Business Case produces a standalone deliverable. You can run with it yourself, take it to another partner, or continue with us into the next stage. The €5k credit toward the next plan holds for 60 days.

Is Andreas actually on the engagement?

Yes. Andreas is the named delivery lead on every engagement. He runs the Business Case workshop, architects the workflows, and is on every key call. That's in the contract. 25 years of operating experience, not an account director.

What's the minimum viable company for this?

€15M+ revenue, at least one AI-addressable workflow with measurable volume, and an exec sponsor with budget authority. The diagnostic tells you in 12 questions whether you qualify.

What about GDPR and EU AI Act?

Default-strict. EU-resident infrastructure, data minimisation, audit logs, DPIA template included. Proven under GDPR + Swiss FADP + insurance/financial supervisory regimes.

How does the €5k continuity credit work?

The Business Case costs €10k. If you continue to the next stage within 60 days, €5k is deducted from the next plan's price. The credit is already reflected in the plan totals shown above.
