Fix the Decisions, Not Just the Data

I help European businesses, especially in Germany and the DACH region — fix the commercial decision problems that sit underneath unreliable forecasts, margin noise, pricing confusion, CRM friction, reporting sprawl, weak customer-service workflows, and rushed AI software decisions. The commercial problem comes first; analytics and AI are there to make decisions more reliable. The difference is that I do not stop at diagnosis: I also help teams choose the right tooling and build the reporting, workflow, automation, and ML mechanisms that make the fix operational.

Why Choose Me

Commercial logic first. Tooling second.

I am useful when a business has enough dashboards, enough data, and enough meetings, but still lacks one trusted decision system. I bring a rare combination: commercial operating depth, analytics architecture, and hands-on ML and workflow implementation.

Builder, not slideware

I write code, build workflows, and work through implementation constraints. This is not strategy theater wrapped in AI language.

What buyers usually miss before they spend money on AI

The goal is not to add AI because the market is noisy. The goal is to improve one real business decision or workflow without creating hidden review cost, governance risk, or adoption drag.

AI software due diligence matters

A strong demo does not tell you whether the product is fine-tuned, retrieval-based, or simply calling a third-party API. That affects data flow, differentiation, cost, and control.

The right question is not only “does it work?” but “what are we actually buying, and what happens when it fails?”

Headcount reduction is rarely step one

AI usually removes tasks before it removes roles. Without process redesign, exception handling, and a benefits owner, many savings remain theoretical.

The better early test is whether the workflow creates measurable capacity or just scattered convenience.

Customer-service AI can scale the wrong thing

If avoidable contacts are driven by poor documentation, missing order visibility, or weak escalation rules, a chatbot automates the symptom before the cause is fixed.

The safer route is often ticket-root-cause analysis, internal copilot support, and better handoffs before customer-facing AI.

Use the lead magnets before the service conversation becomes a tooling argument.

The strongest entry conversations start with clearer buying logic. These assets help leadership teams pressure-test vendor claims, build-vs-buy tradeoffs, and where workflow control should sit before money is committed.

AI Vendor Due Diligence Checklist

Use this before you approve copilots, document AI, agent platforms, or service tools with AI built in.

Why this matters commercially

It keeps architecture, permissions, failure modes, and production cost in the room before enthusiasm turns into commitment.

  • Challenge what the product really is
  • Clarify data flow, logging, and training risk
  • Force a buy / pilot / reject decision gate

Build-vs-Buy AI Decision Matrix

Use this when leaders are comparing vendors before anyone has decided whether the workflow belongs in software, API orchestration, retrieval infrastructure, or a higher-control internal path.

Why this matters commercially

The wrong control model creates rework, governance drag, and hidden switching cost that no shortlist comparison will surface.

  • Compare speed, control, and operating burden
  • Assess exception load and ownership realism
  • Decide whether to buy, build, or delay

Book Fit Call Download Checklist

Use the checklist first if you want to pressure-test the vendor internally before you ask for a buy, pilot, or reject view.

Decision Opportunity Prioritization Sprint

A two-week sprint for teams facing too many ideas, too little trust, and no clear sequence for what to fix or automate first. We start with decision pain, data readiness, ownership, and ROI. Applied AI stays on the table, but only where it earns its place, and only when the use case can survive real operating conditions.

Deliverables:

  • Decision-friction workshop with key stakeholders
  • Data and process readiness assessment
  • Prioritized shortlist of workflow, reporting, automation, and AI opportunities
  • Build-vs-buy and vendor-shortlist view when tooling choice is part of the decision
  • 90-day roadmap with implementation priorities
  • Governance and adoption considerations for rollout
Duration: 2 weeks

Commercial Analytics Foundation Fix

Clean up the analytics foundations leaders rely on. This offer is designed for businesses where dashboards exist, but the underlying KPI logic, ownership, CRM data, or reporting structure is still distorting decisions.

Scope Examples:

  • Forecast accuracy logic and review cadence
  • Gross margin walk structure and pricing waterfall logic
  • CRM data quality, ownership, and governance
  • KPI definitions, semantic models, and dashboard rationalization
  • Executive business review packs and narrative consistency
Duration: 3-6 weeks
Book Fit Call

Commercial Workflow Deployment

Build one practical workflow that improves decision speed, reporting quality, or commercial control in a real operating environment. This can include analytics automation, decision support, or applied AI, but the objective is measurable value, validation, stakeholder adoption, and repeatable execution. I can help design it and build it, not just recommend it.

Typical Use Cases:

  • Forecast commentary automation
  • Controlled narrative generation from sales or margin data
  • CRM opportunity scoring and prioritization
  • Pricing exception detection and validation
  • Document intelligence or tender support workflows
Timeline: 4-8 weeks

How I Work

A working cadence, not a generic agency funnel.

The process is designed to reduce ambiguity fast, create visible progress early, and leave the business with a stronger operating model after delivery. It is built for real execution, not endless transformation theater.

Start Diagnostic Review
01
Discovery

Diagnose the real point of decision failure.

We go into the business challenge, data landscape, and review rhythm deeply enough to separate symptoms from root causes.

02
Strategy

Set the path, owners, and proof points.

I define a tailored approach with clear milestones, decision owners, success measures, and realistic timelines.

03
Build

Ship in visible increments.

The work moves in iterative sprints so you can see progress, challenge assumptions, and steer before the solution hardens.

04
Deploy & Transfer

Hand over a system your team can run.

Deployment includes documentation, governance, and practical knowledge transfer so the work remains useful after launch.

Show The First Price, Scope The Rest

The right format depends on how clear the problem already is. My recommendation is to publish the first paid step, because it lowers friction and filters for serious buyers, but not pretend larger implementation work can be responsibly priced from a website alone.

Diagnostic

20-minute qualification call to confirm fit. No free consulting.

Free

Best when you want to check whether the issue is real, urgent, and worth the diagnostic

Paid Diagnostic Review

Most Value

90-minute working session plus written summary covering forecasting, pricing, margin, CRM, reporting, service workflow, and AI-tooling decisions

EUR 950 net

Best public price to show because buyers can understand the value and you retain control over larger scoping

Sprints, builds, and retainers

Vendor diligence, prioritization sprints, workflow deployment, foundation repair, enablement, and advisory support

Scoped after diagnosis

Best when the workflow, decision owner, data burden, and risk profile need to be understood before a credible commercial quote

For DACH B2B work, public prices should normally be shown as net and then scoped formally with VAT treatment handled at quote stage if applicable.

Common Questions

Who is the diagnostic review best suited for?

It is built for Managing Directors, Finance Directors, Commercial Directors, Sales Directors, COOs, Transformation Leads, and Heads of BI or Analytics who know the numbers are not trusted.

What kinds of problems do you usually fix?

Forecast inaccuracy, pricing confusion, unexplained margin movement, CRM quality issues, KPI disputes, dashboard sprawl, overloaded analysts, and applied AI pilots that never land operationally.

Do you build the AI workflow as well, or only advise?

Both. I diagnose the commercial decision-system problem first, then help design and implement the right analytics or AI workflow with validation, governance, and adoption in mind. That includes hands-on implementation where the engagement calls for it.

Can you work remotely and across multiple markets?

Yes. Most work is remote, with structured workshops, async review, and regular working sessions. I am based near Stuttgart and can support DACH onsite work where needed.

Do you help choose AI software or decide between vendor, API, or in-house approaches?

Yes. That is one of the clearest places I can save money for a client. I help teams understand what the vendor is actually selling, where data goes, what the review burden looks like, and whether the right answer is off-the-shelf software, an OpenAI API workflow, or tighter internal control.

What happens after the first conversation?

If there is a strong fit, I scope the next step clearly: Diagnostic Review, AI Software & Vendor Due Diligence, Prioritization Sprint, Foundation Fix, workflow deployment, or team enablement. No vague transformation language and no AI theater.

Start With A Commercial Analytics Diagnostic Review

If the numbers are not trusted, the customer-service workflow is noisy, or the AI tooling choice is unclear, the issue is usually logic, ownership, or governance before modeling. Start there, then decide what should actually be built after a 90-minute working session and written summary. The outcome is practical clarity from someone who understands both the business pressure and the implementation work.
