- What does a consulting engagement cost?
- We deliberately state no flat rate. Consulting is billed by effort, and the effort is stated per service in consulting days — for example 6 to 10 days for use case identification, 8 to 15 for vendor selection, one to two days for the AI crawler audit. In the discovery call we estimate your specific case before anything is signed.
- How long does an engagement take?
- Between one to two days and fifteen months, depending on the service. An AI crawler audit is done in one to two days, use case identification is complete after four to eight weeks, implementation support typically runs across the entire implementation phase of four to twelve months, and an AI strategy engagement runs three months of development plus twelve months of quarterly accompaniment. The figure is stated per service.
- Do we have to book a workshop first?
- No. Many clients start with a workshop because the risk is contained — but it is not required. If a workshop leads to a consulting engagement of CHF 8,000 or more within six months, we credit half the workshop price.
- Do you work with small companies too?
- Yes, that is our core audience. For smaller undertakings there is the AI Office Hours monthly subscription from CHF 900 — ongoing assessment and recommendation without a full engagement. Below that, a workshop is usually the more suitable format.
- Do you also implement, or do you only advise?
- Both, but billed separately. Consulting is guidance and judgement; development is its own service line with its own project pricing. In the discovery call we tell you which of the two actually solves your problem — even when it is the smaller one.
- What happens after the engagement?
- Ideally nothing you do not order. Every service ends with work products that stay in the company — roadmap, requirements document, policy, measurement setup. If you want continued support, there is the AI Office Hours subscription or a three-month enablement engagement in which delivery stays with your team.
- Do you also advise in English?
- Yes. Engagements run in German or English, and we deliver documents in the language in which decisions are made at your company. With international leadership teams that is usually English, even when operations are German-speaking.
