This is how we work

Complex issues become manageable, decisions become reliable.

Our method – clear, proven, documented

We keep the process streamlined and reliable: a brief clarification meeting, structured research with openly documented sources, clear evaluation, and a presentation of results with a decision template. You know where we stand at all times; the scope and deadlines are binding. If no meaningful scope emerges during the clarification meeting, we stop—at no cost.

  • Focus: a clear question, a measurable goal
  • Speed: Focus analysis in 8–13 days (often faster, depending on scope)
  • Transparency: Open sources, hours documented
  • Confidentiality: GDPR compliant; AVV/NDA upon request

Why it matters

• Less risk. Multiple checks with included fact-checking drastically reduce outliers and “hallucinations.”

• More speed. Parallelization saves days without sacrificing quality.

• Better discussions in the boardroom. Presentation-ready slides with sources, assumptions, and go/no-go reasoning.

• Scalable. Recurring questions (such as price radar, competitive moves) can be updated monthly.

Example:
Market entry in France – in 5 steps

  1. Clarify terms: product boundaries, NAICS/NACE, substitution.
  2. Prioritize sources: associations, statistics, purchasing data, primary interviews.
  3. Check the figures: size, growth, price ranges – double-checked.
  4. Majority decision: Three models, separate paths, majority score + human plausibility check.
  5. Decision template: 12–18 slides/pages, traffic light risks, go/no-go with justification.

Example:
Restructuring plan in the event of self-administered insolvency

Create a to-do list with facts

  1. Analyze the initial situation publicly and internally based on available data
  2. Prepare and evaluate a going concern forecast
  3. Traffic light status for a quick overview
  4. Offer immediate measures: cash plan, payment term negotiation, stock clearance, etc.
  5. Design scenarios and milestones and develop structural levers
  6. Develop internal and external stakeholder communication plan

Basic Information

To ensure we can deliver quickly and accurately while keeping your effort to a minimum, we only need very little to get started:

  1. Goal & success criteria (e.g., sales, margin, time, risk)

  2. A contact person for queries (response within 24–48 hours)

  3. Existing documents (product information, customer segments, assumptions)

  4. General conditions (regions, languages, legal requirements)

  5. Schedule & budget framework (for prioritization)

    Good to know: If no reasonable scope emerges after the clarification meeting, we will stop—at no cost.

General FAQ

Scaffolding is a custom-built internal framework

It is essentially the special secret ingredient that controls and guides the LM/language models. This framework is newly developed for each case and adapted to the specific characteristics of the topic, the question and the desired type of results.

Majority voting = majority decision

Greater security through multiple checks.

Several models develop solutions independently.

We compare your receipts, weigh up quality and consistency, and go with the majority decision—any differing answers are looked into further.

Focus analysis 10–14 days, in-depth analysis 2–3 weeks.

Dual control principle.

A research lead checks sources, recalculates critical figures themselves, and flags traffic light risks (green/yellow/red).

Where necessary, we call in industry experts.

Everything documented.

Sources, timestamps, verification steps, and versions are linked in the report.

This makes results traceable and updatable.

Often yes (e.g., BAFA/innovation voucher). We check this in advance and assist with the application.

Key statements are documented with source references.

GDPR compliant; data processing agreement available on request.

German/English (others upon request).

We will re-negotiate the scope; additional/reduced costs will be transparent.

No. People make decisions.

AI speeds up research and variant creation; quality assurance is carried out by our team.

We only process project-related data, store sources and results in accordance with the GDPR, and use European infrastructure wherever possible.
