AI in the process. Not in the brochure.

The question is rarely whether AI can do something – it is where in the process it actually pays off. I analyse your workflows, put a number on benefit and cost, and prepare the decision so that it holds up in front of a board.

Four questions before money is spent.

Understand the process before automating it

Where time, money, and patience are lost in the workflow – and where AI genuinely changes that.

Benefit and business case

What a project costs over its lifetime and what it returns – with the assumptions on the table instead of round numbers.

Learn more →

Selection, sequencing and setup

Which project first, build or buy – and how to set it up so it holds together.

Dependencies and risks

Vendor lock-in, running costs, follow-on effort – the items that rarely appear in a quote.

A commercial yardstick paired with technical understanding.

  • Independent: no products, no licences, no implementation work on offer
  • Assumptions disclosed – every figure stays open to recalculation
  • Process first, tooling second
  • A clearly limited scope: predictable, with no on-call
  • The decision and the responsibility stay with you
  • Consulting in German and English – clearly and without misunderstandings

Practised, not just preached

Advice without practice is theory. As a private research project, I run a deliberately over-engineered homelab – planned, built, and evolved with the same AI-agent workflows my consulting is about.

A personal project alongside TycLab. No implementation work, no marketing numbers – only what can be observed.

Understand first, then quantify, then decide.
