You sit in the seat.
CEO, Vorstand, Geschäftsführer, C-Suite, or Founder of a DACH company with revenue €15M+ and headcount 80+. The methodology lands at the operating-decision level — not below it.
The AI Operating System: How Leaders Turn AI Into Operating Leverage — signed, shipped, free. Sent personally by Andreas Anding to CEOs, Vorstände, Geschäftsführer and senior C-Level operators of mid-market DACH companies (€15M+) working on real operational problems. Curated. 50 per month.

CEO, Vorstand, Geschäftsführer, C-Suite, or Founder of a DACH company with revenue €15M+ and headcount 80+. The methodology lands at the operating-decision level — not below it.
Pilots running. Tools licensed. Some workflows accelerated. But the operating model hasn't shifted, and the board is asking why the cost line keeps growing without the throughput line moving.
You'd rather sit with the published methodology for an evening than book a workshop sight-unseen. The book is 380 pages — it earns the time.
380-page hardcover (or paperback per stock). Signed on the title page in person. The AI Operating System: How Leaders Turn AI Into Operating Leverage — Edition 01.
Two or three sentences. Andreas references the operational pain you described in the request — in your own words — and points to the chapter most relevant to it.
Printed insert mapped to your declared sector — insurance, e-mobility, or industrial. The methodology applied to your operating model, not a generic marketing version. No fabricated case studies; engagement scenarios drawn from sector research and prior operator work, with the KPIs each plan would target.
Printed card with QR access to the 12-question scorecard. Most readers run it after Chapter 02 — the score arrives by email with a personalised next move.
The book is paid on Amazon — that's where it belongs commercially. But for leaders ready to put the methodology to work, the book deserves to land on your desk with a note, not as a digital download.
Fifty copies go out each month, signed personally. Selection prioritises companies where the methodology will land on a real operational problem — which is why the form asks you to describe one specific operational pain you'd like to solve. If there's no specific pain, the book won't help yet.
The Three Levels framework — AI as Tool, AI as Specialist, AI as Operator — explains why most AI activity stalls at Level 01 without compounding. The six-component model defines what an AI-native operating system actually contains. The 90-Day implementation path turns it into a calendar. Used in delivery for SZU, OTTO Group, and Smartlab.
Selection happens on our side, not yours. Andreas reviews the queue weekly — typically Tuesday — and approves a batch of 12–15. You'll hear back within 5 business days either way.
Yes — and you should. Available on Amazon DACH at €19.99 paperback / €29.99 hardcover / €9.99 Kindle. Founder's Copies is a separate channel: signed copies sent personally with a handwritten note, capped at 50 a month. Different artefact, different purpose. Both are valid.
The free ebook The AI Operating Gap is the right starting point. It contains the diagnostic and the first move. Below €15M revenue, the operating-scale assumptions in the book don't hold — you'd be reading content built for a different stage.
Standard DACH-compliant handling. Used to ship the book and follow up — that's it. Never sold, never licensed to third parties. Stored in a German-hosted CRM. Full privacy policy linked. You can request deletion at any time.
5 business days from request to notification. Books ship within 14 days of selection. Andreas reviews the queue every Tuesday morning. If you're approved, you'll know on Tuesday or Wednesday that week.
Yes — a short 5-email sequence over 30 days, optional to engage with. Day 0 is ship day; Day 7 is "did the book arrive?"; Day 14 references the chapter most relevant to your stated pain; Day 21 a case excerpt; Day 30 a soft close with the three engagement options.
