What we believe

Most AI projects don't fail on the model. They fail because nobody decided which business problem it should solve. That's where we start.

FAQ

Questions every executive asks.

Dora Kovacspartner · replies within 24 hours

No. Most of our clients have no dedicated AI team when we start. We build the pilot, and along the way we select and train the internal colleagues who will take over operations later.

We're model-agnostic. We choose based on the task, the budget and privacy needs: commercial models from an EU data center, or open-source models on your own infrastructure. We earn no reseller commission.

Data stays in the EU. We sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and, if needed, a data processing agreement. We never train a public model on your data. All access is logged, and at the end of the project we return or delete everything.

From engagement to first live result the median is 9 weeks. Our completed pilots earned back the full project cost in 5.5 months on average. We run that calculation with your data at the end of the assessment, before you say yes to anything.

We assign every use case a risk category at the design stage and prepare the required documentation, human oversight points and logging. That way you don't have to make the system compliant after the fact.

There's a stop/go decision point in week 3. If early measurements don't confirm the business case, we stop and bill only for the time worked. In a success-fee arrangement, 30% of the fee is due only when the pre-agreed KPI is hit.
