Question 1

Is my company too small for AI?

Accepted Answer

No. AI gains come from automating repetitive tasks — data entry, matching, standardized replies — and those tasks exist from a few dozen employees onward. In an SMB, every automated hour shows up directly in the margin, which makes gains more visible than in a large corporation. We typically work with companies between $20M and $500M in revenue.

Question 2

Our data is sensitive: margins, purchase prices, customer files. How is it protected?

Accepted Answer

It's a topic we address from the very first step, never as an afterthought. Depending on the sensitivity of your data, solutions range from cloud tools configured with the right contractual guarantees to AI models hosted on-premise, inside your walls: in that case, your data never leaves your company. Confidentiality ground rules are part of every engagement's deliverables.

Question 3

We already tried ChatGPT and nothing changed. How is this different?

Accepted Answer

Handing a general-purpose tool to teams without integrating it into processes rarely produces results: that's expected. Our approach is the reverse: we start from your processes and volumes to find where hours are being lost, then we build the solution — sometimes a well-deployed existing tool, sometimes an automation, sometimes a custom assistant connected to your ERP. The difference isn't the tool, it's the integration into the business.

Question 4

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Every step is fixed-price, agreed before we start — never hourly billing, never surprises. Amounts depend on the size of your company and the scope: we present them during the first meeting, based on your situation. What we can say publicly: the journey is progressive, and the first step is deliberately a small commitment.

Question 5

How long before the first results?

Accepted Answer

The assessment takes 2–3 weeks and produces a quantified roadmap. The first projects — the quick wins — are delivered within days to weeks. In other words: between the first meeting and the first hours actually recovered, less than a quarter usually goes by.

Question 6

Do we need an in-house technical team?

Accepted Answer

No. Our typical clients don't have a large IT department, and the method is designed for that. We build on your existing tools, we deliver solutions your business teams know how to use, and knowledge transfer is included in every project.

Question 7

Will we become dependent on you?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly what the method prevents. Your teams are trained with every delivery, documentation is provided, and you remain the owner of your tools and your data. Some clients choose ongoing advisory because they find value in it — but it's a choice, never a technical constraint.

Question 8

Concretely, what happens after the first meeting?

Accepted Answer

The first call lasts 30 minutes: you describe your operations, and together we identify 2–3 quantified opportunities. If the potential is confirmed, we propose either an education session for your leadership team, or an assessment directly. And if we believe AI isn't your priority right now, we tell you — that's also what the meeting is for.
