    The problem

    Introducing AI — but where to start?

    Nearly every executive knows: AI will change the way we work. The question is not whether — but where, when and how.

    The problem: without a clear picture of their own processes, many companies introduce AI tools that don't fit — too expensive, too complex, too little impact. That frustrates teams and burns budget.

    The AI Potential Check creates clarity — before you invest. Afterwards you know exactly which three areas have the biggest leverage and what that realistically costs and saves.

    "We had already tried two AI tools — the team gave up on both after four weeks. The Potential Check was the first thing to show us we had started at the wrong end."

    "The check was our entry point. Three months later our first process automation went live — and we save 14 hours of admin work per week."

    Scope of services

    What you receive

    No generic AI seminar. Every element of the check is tailored to your company.

    AI potential analysis of your processes

    We systematically examine your key business processes — and identify where AI delivers the biggest leverage: time saved, costs reduced, error rates lowered.

    Prioritized use case list with ROI estimate

    You receive 5–10 concrete AI use cases for your company, prioritized by feasibility and economic value — with a realistic savings projection.

    Quick-win recommendations (immediately actionable)

    3 measures your team can start right away without major effort — with concrete tool recommendations and initial prompt templates.

    Written results documentation

    All findings, recommendations and prioritized use cases as a structured PDF document — usable internally and suitable for a later BAFA proof of use.

    Personal roadmap for the next 6 months

    A clear, realistic plan: what can you tackle internally? Where do you need support? Which package fits your starting point?

    Closing workshop with your team (90 min.)

    Presentation of the results directly with your decision makers — so everyone involved is on the same page and the next steps are decided together.

    Process

    Clarity in 4 steps

    Total duration approx. 2 weeks. Your time investment: under 4 hours.

    01

    Preparation questionnaire

    30 min. effort for you

    Beforehand, you complete a structured questionnaire about your processes, your workforce and your prior digitalization. This way we make optimal use of our time together.

    02

    Deep-dive call (120 min.)

    Video conference or on-site

    We work systematically through your core processes: sales, administration, production, marketing, customer service. I ask targeted questions — you give insight into your daily work.

    03

    Analysis & preparation

    5 business days

    I analyze your situation, research matching AI solutions and prepare your individual use case list with ROI estimates and roadmap. No standard slides — your situation.

    04

    Results workshop (90 min.)

    With your decision makers

    Presentation and discussion of the results. You ask questions, we refine together — and decide how to proceed. You leave the workshop with a clear plan.

    Target audience

    Who is the check designed for?

    An honest assessment — the check isn't right for everyone.

    Good fit if you …

    • Mid-sized companies with 10–200 employees who don't want to introduce AI on gut feeling
    • Executives who want to know where AI really makes sense in their company
    • Companies that want to apply for BAFA funding and look for a structured entry point
    • Teams with first AI experience — but no systematic picture of the possibilities
    • Companies facing a major digitalization decision who need clarity first

    Less suitable if …

    • Startups without running processes that don't yet have day-to-day operations
    • Companies that already have a complete AI strategy
    • Prospects who are only looking for a general AI seminar

    Unsure? Drop us a short message — we'll honestly recommend what really fits.
