The AI Operating System — Plans, pricing & methodology

Q: What's the difference between DIWM and DIFM?

DIWM (Do It With Me): your team implements with coaching and guidance every step. You build internal AI capability. DIFM (Do It For Me): Remote Native specialists build the workflows for you. Same methodology, same quality gates, different who-does-the-work.

01Preparation — data, process maps, stakeholder alignment
02Workshop — full-day, structured against the 6 components
03Client validation — your team pressure-tests the findings
04Processing & presentation — written deliverable with clear next moves

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.

DIWM · Do It With Me

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.

DIFM · Do It For Me

Specialists build. You steer.

Higher investment · faster delivery

Andreas as named delivery lead + specialist pod.
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

05 / The 13-week build

Wk 5–6Ship. Production deployment. Baseline vs. delta. Runbook. Handover.

Weeks 7–13 · Plan 3 scope

Wk 13Governance. EU AI Act baseline. Compound roadmap. Board memo. Handoff.

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.

Plan 1 → Plan 2

Finished the Discovery? The Accelerator extends it into a full workflow build. €5K from Plan 1 is credited. Same team, same context — no ramp-up cost.

Plan 2 → Plan 3

The workflow is live. Now extend to the full operating system — decision architecture, delegation, governance. The foundation from Plan 2 carries forward.

Plan 1 → Plan 3

Know you want the full build? Go straight from Discovery to OS Build. €5K credited. 13 weeks start-to-finish.

Any Plan → Modernization

If the workflow can't ship because the stack blocks it, the Modernization engagement rebuilds the foundation AI-native.

07b / The comparison you're already making

Why not a Big-4 consultancy?

You've probably been pitched a 6-month 'AI Transformation' by a firm that bills by the body. Here's how the economics compare.

	Big-4 / large consultancy	Remote Native
Typical engagement	€300K – €500K+ (6–12 months)	€10K – €150K (2–13 weeks)
Who does the work	Junior analysts, rotated every 8 weeks	Senior partner + 1,800-dev delivery network — same team start to finish
Deliverable	Strategy deck. Implementation is a separate SOW.	Working AI workflows in production — not a deck.
Time to first result	3–6 months (after the deck ships)	6 weeks (Accelerator delivers a live workflow)
Speed multiplier	1×	5× — senior pair-programming, no handoff gaps, no discovery theatre
What stays after the engagement	A PDF and a vendor dependency	Trained team, documented playbook, live system — you own everything

Conservative workflow savings: €75K/year. Plan 2 DIWM pays back in under 4 months.

08 / FAQ

Questions before the call.

What's the difference between DIWM and DIFM?

DIWM (Do It With Me): your team implements with Andreas coaching and guiding every step. You build internal AI capability. DIFM (Do It For Me): 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 Plan 1 and decide later?

Yes — that's the design. Plan 1 Discovery produces a standalone deliverable. You can run with it yourself, take it to another partner, or continue with us into Plan 2 or 3. 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 Discovery 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 DSGVO and EU AI Act?

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

How does the €5K credit work?

Plan 1 costs €10K. If you continue to Plan 2 or Plan 3 within 60 days, €5K is deducted from the next plan's price. The credit is already reflected in the plan totals shown above.
