A basis for deciding your next AI investment. AI consulting for cooperatives: feasibility and priorities.
We work with management and administrative staff to examine recurring work, the data it needs and whether a technical solution makes economic sense. The result is practical recommendations for your cooperative.
A time-consuming task is not automatically a good AI starting point.
A frequent workflow with accessible data and a checkable result may be a better fit than a complex exception. We consider frequency, remaining review work and ongoing costs. Unknown quantities are labelled as assumptions.
What your decision needs
Understand daily work
Staff demonstrate a typical case and a difficult exception. Management or project owners explain objectives, budget and decision-making responsibilities.
Compare options
Evaluate an existing software feature, fixed automation and an AI application against the same task. Custom development must justify the additional effort.
Define the next step
You receive project ideas, recommendations and practical guidance for secure use. For implementation, we define scope, data sources and acceptance criteria.
From a question to a decision
-
01
Scope the assessment
Choose the workflows and unanswered questions that matter to the decision. Identify who can explain the current effort, information and requirements.
-
02
Evaluate alternatives
Compare existing functions, simple automation and AI against the same task. Assess benefits, remaining checks and costs with explicit assumptions.
-
03
Discuss the recommendation
You receive priorities and prerequisites for a possible next step. The decision may be to use existing tools better or to defer development.
Which data can go where?
We agree data sources, permissions, retention and allowed external connections. Processing can take place locally or on dedicated servers, depending on your needs. Cloud AI is used only for approved content. Location, model usage and contractual terms are checked for the specific application.
A clear starting point and an agreed price
The first call is free. For a detailed assessment, our AI audit costs EUR 500 excluding VAT. It covers selected workflows, recommendations, specific project ideas and practical guidance on use and secure design.
The full EUR 500 is credited towards subsequent consulting or implementation. If we find no economically worthwhile AI use case, the audit fee is waived. Only expenses agreed in advance, such as travel, remain payable.

Who should attend the assessment?
Someone with decision-making responsibility and the staff who know the workflow. IT or the relevant data-protection staff may join when integrations or protected data are involved. We choose the group to suit the task.
Do we have to commission implementation?
No. Consulting provides a basis for a decision. You can continue with existing tools, commission a specific project or defer implementation.
Which idea needs a decision first?
Describe the task and the decision you need to make. The free first call establishes what a closer assessment should cover.
