AI POC · Cost and go/no-go
An AI POC must prove an operational gain, not merely deliver a demo.
The €5,000 Strategic AI Audit first establishes the baseline, data, sponsor and success criterion. A POC starts only when a program from €30,000 is justified and fundable.
Framing is useful if
- an AI prototype is requested without an operational indicator;
- required data is not clearly accessible;
- sponsor, budget or responsibilities remain uncertain;
- scope moves while cost is already being discussed;
- you want to avoid a demo that cannot be industrialized.
What the audit decides before a prototype
- baseline and measurable success criterion;
- scope of data, tools, rights and responsibilities;
- security, compliance, adoption and maintenance risks;
- go/no-go decision and conditions for a program from €30,000 excl. tax.
Best fit
- SMEs or mid-market companies with an explicit sponsor and mandate;
- an organization able to fund a €5,000 audit then at least €30,000 if the POC is validated;
- leadership ready to stop when data or value is not demonstrated.
Does this sound familiar?
A POC is not the entry offer
- Free, non-binding qualification call.
- Mandatory Strategic AI Audit: €5,000 excl. tax.
- POC or combined program: from €30,000.
- Bounded tool from €15,000 or advisory from €20,000 when the audit recommends another path.
Field experience
A success criterion before the prototype
The method ties the POC to an operational decision, authorized data and a baseline. No quantified result is published without measurement and validation.
60 minutes
First decision: audit, POC or no-go.
The free 60-minute call checks use case, sponsor and budget. It is not an order for either the POC or the audit.

Describe the flow to test and the decision level
Two short steps. A POC is proposed only when the €30,000 minimum is justified.
