Initial Analysis
The Initial Analysis assesses one specific process for value, risks, feasibility and initial legal context, ending with a clear recommendation — including when the answer is “do not automate”.
The problem
It is difficult to judge from a distance whether AI is worthwhile for a specific process. Providers promise a great deal, internal requirements remain vague, and data protection or compliance questions are unresolved. Starting too soon risks a poor investment; avoiding the subject entirely may leave genuine efficiency gains unused.
A rough opinion in a sales conversation is not enough. A process can only be assessed responsibly once its data categories, systems and responsibilities have been examined.
The Initial Analysis fills that gap: a paid, open-ended assessment that is small enough to commission without major risk and thorough enough to support a sound decision.
The solution
The analysis focuses on one real business process. The written outcome recommends one of three paths: do not automate, start small or implement a tailored solution.

If the recommendation leads to an implementation project, the amount may be credited by individual agreement.
Process
You briefly describe the process to be assessed via the form, email or an introductory call.
We agree the scope, required information and price, and you receive a clear offer.
The process, data categories, systems and initial legal context are assessed systematically.
You receive the written assessment and recommendation and discuss it with me.
Illustrative scenario
A company is considering automating the review of incoming supplier documents. It is unclear whether document quality is sufficient, which data may be processed and whether the expected benefit justifies the effort.
The Initial Analysis would examine the workflow end to end: which document types occur, which data categories they contain, which systems are involved and where human approval is essential. The result might recommend a small pilot with one document type — or conclude that automation is not yet worthwhile because volumes are too low or the documents too inconsistent.
FAQ
Free “analyses” are often sales conversations with a predetermined outcome. The Initial Analysis is deliberately paid and open-ended; “do not automate” is a valid result. You are paying for an honest basis for decision-making, not a sales proposal.
Then you know why, in writing, before investing in implementation. That is a core value of the analysis. The assessment may still identify smaller improvements that do not require AI.
Scope. One clearly bounded process starts at €500 net; more complex workflows involving several systems cost more. You receive a firm offer before commissioning. The analysis usually takes a few weeks once the required information is available.
Yes. If the assessed process proceeds to an implementation project, the amount may be credited by individual agreement; see the Project Terms.
No. The analysis considers GDPR principles and the EU AI Act risk framework as a practical working basis. It is not legal or tax advice; where a legal review is required, that is stated explicitly.
