The diagnostic layer
between AI promise
and SMB reality.
We diagnose the three frictions costing your business the most, then ship a self-contained AI Business Unit that solves one of them end-to-end. Productized, deployable in weeks, owned like equipment.
We sit with your operators for a day. We map the three frictions that cost the most EUR — and that current AI can actually solve.
We pick the matching Unit (or compose two), tune it to your workflows, vocabulary and data. You sign off on outputs before deploy.
Mac mini in your office, or a small EU cloud footprint. Live within 6 weeks. Owned like equipment, with a defined outcome KPI.
What exactly is an AI Business Unit?
A new category between custom consulting and generic AI tools. Smaller than a custom build, sharper than a SaaS subscription, owned outright.
Why the SMB AI market is a missing middle.
Two extremes dominate today: tools that don't know your business, or consulting that ships decks instead of deployments. The Unit is what fits between them.
- No knowledge of your data, voice, or process
- Per-user fees scale linearly with adoption
- Sensitive data leaves your jurisdiction
- Available immediately, low friction
- Diagnosed against your specific friction
- One outcome KPI per Unit, in writing
- Local-first option — data never leaves your office
- One-time price, no per-seat fees
- Theoretically anything is possible
- 9-month engagements that often ship nothing
- Pricing tied to consultant hours, not outcomes
- You inherit the maintenance burden
Productized AI, by industry friction.
Each Unit is a complete package: software, model, integrations, training, and an outcome KPI in writing. Pick by friction, not by feature.
Restaurant Loss Control
Reconciles deliveries, recipes, and POS sales to flag silent ingredient loss before it eats your margin.
Law Firm Secure Practice AI
On-prem LLM that drafts, summarizes, and searches matter files — privileged data never leaves your office.
Proposal & RFP Engine
Turns your win library into ready-to-edit proposals matched to each RFP brief.
Retail Demand & Replenishment
Forecasts SKU-level demand from POS + weather + local events to cut stockouts and dead stock.
Where Units are deployed today.
Each vertical has its own friction map and its own deployment defaults. We diagnose against the vertical, not against a generic SMB template.
Four steps. No discovery phase. No steering committee.
A repeatable methodology refined across dozens of SMB engagements. We refuse engagements over 8 weeks because longer engagements rarely ship.
Diagnostic call (15 minutes)
An operator on your side, a senior diagnostician on ours. We surface the three frictions that actually move EUR.

Deploy & stabilize (week 5–6)
Hardware racked or EU cloud provisioned. Two weeks of hand-holding. KPI review at day 60 and 90.
What 90 days looked like at a 4-restaurant Munich group.
The Restaurant Loss Control Unit went live in week 5. The first variance brief landed two weeks later — and paid for the Unit by month three.
See the Unit"First brief landed two weeks after go-live. It told us our Wagyu portion was 18g over target across two services — €840 in the first month alone. We'd have caught it at the next stocktake, six weeks later. The Unit paid for itself by month three."
