Five levels, each with its own blocker and its own way out. Then who we help, and the problems we solve at each stage, each with the offer and a client case that proves it.

IAC.ai: Where are you on the AI journey?

Where do you stand?

Five levels of the AI journey. Each level has its own blocker, and its own way out.

Find your level. It shows the pillar, the offers that fit and a client who was there. The same team then takes you to the next level.

Wherever you start, the same team takes you to the next level.CS 02: 40% of IT tickets automated, €1M+ saved a year.

Who we help

Is this you? Two of three, and we fit.

We fit best when three things meet: the right company, at the right moment, with the right people around the table. Two of the three are enough to start.

The company

  • Mid-size and large groups
  • Many entities, countries or units
  • Vendors run AI, no common rules

Family-owned, founder-led and PE-backed groups too.

Why it matters: when every unit and every vendor runs AI its own way, pilots do not scale. You need one owner, one set of rules and one front door for every AI initiative, in every unit and country.

The moment

  • A new CEO, CIO or AI leader
  • Pilots, but nothing in production
  • A board push, a deal or a merger

Also: a PE deal or a new value creation plan, or a hiring freeze.

Why now: every quarter a pilot stays a pilot is value you do not bank. And AI and data roles take months to fill.

Two of three true?

Then one conversation on your problem is worth your time. Bring the problem, not a brief: we qualify it with you.

Whatever the problem

Bring us the problem. It lands in one of three pillars.

The problems we hear most, in our clients’ words, AI or not. Grouped by where you are on the journey, from getting the go-ahead to keeping AI under control. Each one shows the pillar, the offer and a client case that proves it.

Pillar 1 · Advise & DiscoverPillar 2 · Build, Implement & DeployPillar 3 · Run, Maintain, Scale & OptimizeThe dots show the pillar that usually answers each problem.
1
Stage 1 · Levels 1 and 2

Get the go-ahead

Defend AI to your board: sell the idea, with an ROI story it will fund.

At the start, AI is an idea. To get the funding you need facts: where AI pays, what it costs, and a business case your CFO can check. We advise you. You decide, with facts, before you invest.

1Advise
What you get
  • One decision per initiative: invest, test, defer or stop.
  • Business cases built on your baseline, not headlines. The benefit owner agrees every number.
  • An executive readout your leaders read, and a workbook finance checks.

Stage 2 · Level 3

Structure and scale

The idea is funded. Now set the rules, build the framework and the team.

Once the business case, the ROI and the funding are approved, you need structure to scale: one owner, one set of rules, one front door for every AI initiative, and people who can find, build and run use cases.

1Advise2Build
What you get
  • Operating model and decision rights: Center of Excellence or federated.
  • One intake, scoring and stage gates for every use case. Risk tiers ready for the EU AI Act.
  • Roles, skills and sourcing plan, and a 12-month roadmap your board can approve.

Stage 3 · Level 4

Build and deliver

Get it built and live, and keep it live.

The use cases are chosen and funded. Now they must go live, and stay live. We build it with you, with engineers in your team, or for you, as a project. You own what we build.

2Build
What you get
  • Engineers in your team, hired in 30 days or less. You steer.
  • A fixed scope, or a team we manage, delivered to agreed milestones.
  • Old stacks moved in waves, each wave with a business case and a way back.

Stage 4 · Level 5

Run and improve

Keep it running, and keep the value growing.

Go-live is not the finish line. This is where the business case becomes P&L. Value leaks after go-live when no one runs it.

3Run
What you get
  • Level 2 and 3 engineers inside your team, on your hours.
  • We run and improve it under an SLA, a unit price, or outcome-based.
  • Value measured against the baseline every quarter.

Stage 5 · Every level

Control and compliance

AI you can defend to your board, auditors and regulator.

Two controls at every step of the same five steps, from the first idea to the solution in production. Governance is built in from the first use case, so you never pay to fix it later.

What you get
  • Risk tiers and controls, ready for the EU AI Act.
  • Human approval before anything reaches production, and a way back.
  • Logging, audit trails and monitoring in every automation.

Step 1 · Discover
Risk-tiered

Each use case is classified by risk, including its EU AI Act category.

Your data stays yours

NDA first. Read-only access. Only the data the use case needs.

Step 2 · Decide
You own the decision

Business case, owner and acceptance criteria agreed before any build.

No model lock-in

Platforms follow your architecture, not a partner list.

Step 3 · Build
Security controls

Access, privacy and vendor controls agreed with your team.

Tested before release

Every deliverable is tested against its acceptance criteria.

Step 4 · Go live
Human approval

Nothing reaches production without your go or no-go.

Roll-back ready

A way back is planned before each release.

Step 5 · Run & improve
Traceable

Logging, audit trails and monitoring in every automation.

Value tracked

The value is measured against the baseline every quarter.

Your data, your decision

NDA first. Read-only access, only the data a use case needs. Nothing reaches production without your go or no-go.

Why now

Every month you wait is value you do not bank

The question is not whether AI pays off. It is what each month of waiting costs you. Try it with your own figures.

01

Cost of delay

In CS 02, each month of waiting would have cost about €75K. Pilots that never reach production cost the same.

02

Most AI never pays

95% of companies see no return from GenAI (MIT NANDA, 2025). 42% dropped most AI initiatives (S&P Global, 2025). The few who ship win.

03

Control

The EU AI Act is phasing in. Build governance in from day one, not as a costly fix later.
