A: Fixed price after scoping. Proposal within 48 hours. The exact price depends on the number of business units and use cases in scope. You receive a clear quote upfront, so there are no surprises and the investment is easy to approve internally. Q: How long does it take to get a roadmap? A: Most strategy engagements run 4 to 8 weeks from kick-off to a finished roadmap. Within the first weeks you already see a prioritised shortlist of use cases, and by the end you have business cases, a governance model and a scoped first pilot. Q: How is an AI strategy different from just building a chatbot? A: A chatbot is one possible solution; a strategy decides whether a chatbot, an agent, an automation or no AI at all is the right answer for each problem — and in which order to tackle them. It protects you from investing in tools that look impressive but don't move the numbers. Q: What data and access do you need? A: For the assessment we mainly need conversations with your teams and a high-level view of your processes and systems. Deeper data access is only required where we validate a specific use case, and we agree the scope with you before touching any sensitive information. Q: Is the process GDPR-compliant? A: Yes. Data protection is built into the strategy from the start. We define how data and models are handled, and we can design solutions around EU hosting or on-premise deployment so your AI rollout stays GDPR-compliant and audit-ready. Q: Can you work remotely with our team in Essen? A: Yes. We work remotely with teams across Essen and the Ruhr region and come on-site for workshops and key milestones when it helps. You get the same structured process and deliverables either way. Ready to turn AI ambition into a concrete plan?
