Your situation at a glance

Find where you stand, and your way out.

Your level on the AI journey, your problem in your own words, and what it costs to wait.

01 · Where you standWhere are you on the AI journey?Five levels. Each level has its own blocker, and its own way out. Find yours.

Wherever you start, the same team takes you to the next level. Every use case then goes the same five steps, with our role at each one →

02 · Your problemBring us the problem. It lands in one of three pillars.The twelve problems we hear most, in our clients’ words. AI or not.

“We do not know where AI pays”

360 Discovery screens every function on real workflows and scores up to 40 use cases. Up to five get a business case. You end with one decision per initiative.

“Our pilots never reach production”

One owner, one set of rules and one front door. Every use case goes the same five steps, with one gate each, from the idea to production.

“Our costs are too high”

We size the saving on your own baseline: volumes, costs, cycle times. Four numbers make the business case. Then we build it, and can be outcome-based.

“Our processes are too slow”

AI agents and automation on the tools you already own, deployed with your sign-off, then improved every quarter.

“We bought the wrong tools”

Which AI platform do we bet on? Build, buy or reuse? Compared on your architecture, data and costs. We have no licenses to sell, so the answer fits your case.

“Our data is not ready”

The framework sets your data foundation, architecture and governance. Then we move slow data pipelines to faster, cheaper processing.

“AI risk and rules worry us”

Each use case is classified by risk, including its EU AI Act category. The framework sets risk tiers and controls. Advisory on demand solves one big problem: are we AI Act ready?

“Our people are not ready for AI”

Your people trained and certified on your real cases, on your tools and your data. One track per role.

“We cannot hire fast enough”

Engineers from our bench in your team in 30 days or less. At least 3 validated profiles per role. You choose, you steer.

“Our systems are too old”

Old stacks, old bots and slow data moved to what runs faster and costs less. In waves, never one big bang, each with a way back.

“We have software to build”

A fixed scope, or a dedicated team we manage, from requirements to a live product. The code is yours.

“We need someone to run it”

A defined scope, run as a product. We host, run, support and improve it. Service levels, not tickets to chase.

03 · Who we helpIs this you? Two of three, and we fit.The company, the moment and the people. When two are true, one conversation is worth your time.
The company
  • Mid-size and large groups
  • Many entities, countries or units
  • Vendors run AI, no common rules
  • Family-owned, founder-led or PE-backed groups
The people
  • CEO, ExCom, Chief AI Officer
  • CIO, CTO, COO, Head of Data
  • CFO, CISO and function heads
  • DPO, risk and compliance leads
Three circles: the company, the moment, the people. Where they meet, we fit.
The moment
  • A new CEO, CIO or AI leader
  • Pilots, but nothing in production
  • A board push, a deal or a merger
  • A competitor moves first on AI

Two of three true? Then one conversation on your problem is worth your time.

Your industry? Eight of ten industries already served, each with its case studies →

More on who we help

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.

Companies like yoursEight of ten industries already served →

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.

04 · Why nowEvery 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.

CS 02 business case: 25,000 tickets a month × 30% × €10 a ticket = about €75K a month. Illustrative, before implementation cost.

05 · Making the caseEvery AI decision needs a case. Wherever you are.At every one of the five steps, someone asks you to justify it. We help you answer, on five angles.

The question at each step

  1. 1DiscoverIs it worth doing?A first case
  2. 2DecideShould we fund it?The business case
  3. 3BuildAre we building it right?Evidence at each gate
  4. 4Go liveIs it safe to switch on?Go-live evidence
  5. 5Run & improveIs it still paying?Value against baseline

The five angles: what they ask, how we help you answer

Value & ROIYou answer to: Finance, board

“What does it return, and when?”

A business case on your own baseline before any build. Then the value is measured against it, every month.

Risk & complianceYou answer to: Regulator, auditors, security

“Is it safe, and is it compliant?”

Each use case is risk-tiered. Controls agreed before the build, security tests before release, a human approves what matters.

Technology choiceYou answer to: IT, architecture

“Why this tool, and can we change later?”

We start from what you own, compare options with no partner to push, and test on your stack.

Ownership & controlYou answer to: Legal, executives

“Who owns it, and who decides?”

You do. Your code, data and IP, and your go or no-go at every gate.

People & adoptionYou answer to: HR, teams, works council

“Will people use it, and who runs it after?”

Roles and skills mapped. Your team builds with us, then is trained and certified to run it.

We advise you all the way, even when we build or run. Making the case is not only for pillar 1. Whatever you buy from us, we help you justify it, at every gate. You never make the case alone.
