Four stages.
Four stop-gates.
Zero retainers.
You decide at every gate whether to continue. If you stop after the Quick Win and run the rest internally, we consider that a successful outcome — not a churned client. About 30% of our engagements end exactly that way.
Clarity Call.
Live process teardown with Richard. We map one workflow on a shared canvas, name three automation candidates, sketch a 90-day roadmap. Written recap in your inbox within 24 hours.
Inputs from you
- →One process you suspect is wasting time
- →Rough headcount & hours spent on it
- →One constraint we must respect (data, stack, team)
You leave with
- →Three named opportunities, ranked by payback
- →Conservative ROI math per opportunity
- →90-day roadmap · honest readiness verdict
AI Readiness Sprint.
Two weeks. Diagnostic depth. We map your full data estate, stack, workflows, team capacity, and regulatory exposure. You get a board-ready thesis with audited baseline numbers — the same baseline we'll measure the 15:1 guarantee against later.
What we audit
- →Data: sources, quality, governance, lineage
- →Stack: integrations, technical debt, observability
- →Workflows: time studies on top 5 candidate processes
- →Regulatory: EU AI Act risk class, Schrems II memo
You leave with
- →5–8 prioritised opportunities, ranked by payback & risk
- →Reference architecture sketch (EU-hosted, your stack)
- →Quick Win recommendation · which one ships first
- →Editable board deck · audited baseline numbers
Quick Win.
One automation, end-to-end, in production. Not a pilot. Not a demo. A system your team uses on day 43 — and that you could fork us out of on day 44 if you wanted to. Code in your repo from commit one.
How we ship
- →Week 3: detailed design, data wiring, test plan
- →Week 4–6: build, integrate, deploy to staging
- →Week 7: UAT with your team, refine
- →Week 8: production, training, ops runbook
What you own
- →Source code · your GitHub or GitLab · day 1
- →Models, prompts, configs · in your repo
- →Two engineers trained to maintain & extend
- →15:1 ROI guarantee, written into the SoW
Full Implementation.
Three to five additional automations across adjacent workflows. Internal AI capability stood up — your engineers trained, governance frameworks in place, model registry running. Built so you don't need us next year.
What we build
- →3–5 production automations · adjacent workflows
- →Reusable component library · in your repos
- →Model registry, audit logs, EU AI Act docs
- →Reference patterns your team extends
What stays after
- →Quarterly review for 12 months · included
- →Trained internal team · two senior, three mid
- →15:1 ROI measured at month 12 · refundable
- →Zero ongoing licence or retainer fees
How we work — six rules
that predate every project.
If a project requires breaking one of these, we don't take it. Read this list as a filter, not a manifesto.
Ship to production, never to a pilot.
"Pilot" is a word for projects that won't survive the next budget cycle. We design week-1 for production constraints — auth, observability, rollback, ops. The deliverable is a system on day 42, not a slideshow.
The client owns everything on day one.
Code in your repo from commit one. Models in your registry. Prompts and configs in your version control. We charge for implementation, not for hosting your IP. You can fork us out tomorrow.
Keep humans where judgment lives.
AI handles the 4-hour blank-page problem. Humans review, decide, sign. We don't automate the partner; we automate the associate's first draft. This is why our clients' quality goes up, not down.
EU compute. EU data. EU team.
Frankfurt + Vienna primary. No US sub-processors for production data. Open-weight models where the workload allows. Schrems II memos available pre-signing. We don't argue with your DPO — we agree with them.
If you're not ready, say so.
About 1 in 5 Clarity Calls ends with "not yet — fix this first." Often it's data quality, sometimes leadership alignment. We'd rather lose the engagement today than waste your €5,900 next month.
Pricing is a commitment, not a quote.
The number on this site is the number on your SoW. Same whether you came via referral, Google, or a board member. No NDAs around price. CFOs hate quote-shopping; so do we.
