AI initiatives built on solid ground.
We assess whether your company is ready for AI — and turn that into concrete, actionable AI projects. On request, we implement them for you as well.
Focused consulting without overhead — direct contact from start to finish.
Proprietary frameworks for readiness and use case assessment.
Zurich, Switzerland — Swiss experience for Swiss SMEs.
Trading systems successfully delivered for US and biotech markets.
Two building blocks that work together.
We get your company ready for a wide range of use cases — with our assessment. And we help you implement a concrete use case. Both can be combined, taken in sequence, or booked independently — and everything in between is possible too.
We check whether the fundamentals are right: the right model, the necessary data access, and a clear description of the goal — so you're equipped for a wide range of use cases.
AI-Readiness AssessmentWe assess a concrete use case for feasibility and viability — and then build it, including go-live and knowledge transfer to your team.
Use Case Assessment & ImplementationYou don't have to start with building block 1. Wherever you stand today — we start exactly where you need us.
Two clear services, matching the two building blocks.
At a glance, here's what we offer. For the details — process, who's involved, what you receive at the end — click on either service.
01
AI-Readiness Assessment
AI-Readiness Assessment
We analyze your company's current state along our 3-pillar model — so that AI initiatives, once the need arises, can be implemented with minimal effort. Only once model, data access, and goal description align can AI actually deliver what's expected of it. For each pillar, we examine both the substance itself and whether your organization and know-how are already sufficient.
Intelligence
The right models, capable of actually solving the task at hand.
What we check
Rights
The permissions to access the necessary data and information — the relevant ones, at the right time, in the right form.
What we check
Context
The clear task and goal description, so that the model — with the necessary permissions — knows exactly what to do to reach the goal.
What we check
Your company is AI-ready: use cases can be implemented, key foundational questions are already settled — you no longer lose time on groundwork once actual implementation begins.
Process
Initial discussion & alignment
Together we clarify your goals and tailor the assessment to your organization and starting point.
Workshop along the three pillars
Over one to two half-days, we jointly analyze your company's intelligence, rights, and context.
Evaluation & results report
You receive a clear assessment of where you stand, with concrete next steps.
02
Use Case Assessment & Implementation
Use Case Assessment & Implementation
We assess a concrete use case along our 3-pillar model and advise on feasibility, scalability, and viability. If a well-thought-out use case is already in place — whether from our own assessment or defined elsewhere — we can also take on implementation: from technical design through development and testing to go-live, with the same rigor we bring from regulated environments.
Use Case Assessment
Feasibility, scalability, and viability of the concrete use case.
Feasibility
Scalability
Viability
Design
Technical architecture and solution design, including the build-vs-buy decision.
Development
Building and integrating the solution into your existing system landscape.
Testing
Functional testing and validation against the requirements from the blueprint.
Go-live
Handover into live operation, including knowledge transfer to your team.
A blueprint of the use case with clearly defined requirements — and, if desired, a use case in production, guided by two consultants who know the project from initial idea to live operation.
Process
Initial discussion & scoping
We discuss the use case and the goal behind it, so the workshop is targeted to your specific question.
Workshop along the three pillars
Together we assess the use case for feasibility, scalability, and viability.
Blueprint & handover
You receive the finished blueprint, including functional and technical requirements as the basis for implementation.
Design & development
If you choose to move forward with implementation, we build the use case in close coordination with your team and integrate it into your existing system landscape.
Testing
We validate the solution against the requirements from the blueprint before it goes live.
Implementation & go-live
The use case moves into live operation, including knowledge transfer to your team.
Learned in environments where mistakes are costly.
Our consulting is grounded in real projects from the heavily regulated financial sector as well as concrete AI solutions for SMEs — not theory.
Research Automation
Your daily briefing, automatically in Notion
Every day, an agent scans the web for the news, data, and developments that matter to you, prepares them in clear language, and drops them straight into Notion. Your personal research assistant that never sleeps and never misses a thing.

Edge AI & Hardware
DoorGuard AI — the door watchman without the cloud
An AI door watchman that recognizes faces in real time locally on a Raspberry Pi 5, distinguishes authorized from unknown people, analyzes the emotion of strangers, and immediately sends a Telegram alert with a photo. Fully local, privacy-friendly — not a single byte leaves the house.
Real Estate
Email assistant for a property management company
