Stage 0 · AI Check
Phase 0, after the free intro call: one hour, €497 one-off, with your real numbers instead of industry averages. If we do not find €500 a month, the check is free.
All prices net. Invoicing under the reverse-charge procedure (§ 13b UStG).
For businesses that have had the free intro call and now want the figure worked out in full, in writing. Built for businesses of 5 to 50 people in plumbing and heating, electrical, roofing, construction and metalwork.
You start with the free intro call: 30 minutes, with your numbers and your office manager in the room. There we place your case and tell you what is feasible. Only after that is the check worth it — it works the figure out and puts it in writing.
The hour
We go through them in order and put a figure on every point, using your numbers. Not industry averages — those tell you nothing about your business.
Calls you lose, evenings and weekends, hours on the handset for questions that need no expertise.
What never gets followed up, how long an enquiry takes to become a quote, what gets typed in twice.
Open positions and how long they stay open, how fast applicants get an answer.
Invoices and reminders, data entered twice, site documentation and the variations nobody billed.
What you pay for is not the list of questions: it is the hour in which someone goes through it with you and your real numbers — and the written finding that comes out of it.
The result
If we do not find €500 a month, the check is free. We guarantee the finding, not the saving: the first is ours to control, the second is yours.
Why this one is paid
Sometimes the right answer is something off the shelf. When that ends up in the finding, you have paid €497 for a recommendation that earns us nothing — and that is exactly why you can believe it when the next paragraph does point at a project.
The free intro call before it cannot go that deep: 30 minutes are enough to place the case, not to work out a recommendation somebody stands behind. The price here is not an obstacle, it is what makes the recommendation independent.
If it does lead to a project, the entry stage is from €1,997 one-off plus €297–397/month — and the €497 comes off that. The full ladder is on the pricing page.
Then the check costs you nothing. The exact wording matters: we guarantee that we find €500 a month of automatable effort — not that you save it. The finding is ours to control, the doing is yours. Honestly, that case is rare: in a business of 5 to 50 people a single lost job in a month is usually enough to clear the figure.
No, and the price is exactly what keeps it from being one. Getting to know each other happened in the free intro call before this, which is about placing your case and what is feasible. The check is the hour after that, in which the figures get worked out — and a paid hour does not have to end in a deal. If an off-the-shelf product at a small monthly fee solves your problem, that goes into the finding, even though we earn nothing from it.
A finding of two to three pages: what is slipping in which area, in euros per month, broken down by phone, quotes, hiring and admin. Plus a recommendation on where to start and what that would cost. The finding is yours to use even if you carry on with someone else.
By video call or phone, following the free intro call. Bring your numbers and someone who knows the day-to-day — the office manager often knows better than the boss how many calls go unanswered. If you read German, our 12-minute calculation collects exactly those numbers on one sheet; it exists in German only, so it is a help, not a requirement. You get the finding within two working days.
Yes, in full and against any project that comes out of it. If you go ahead with the entry stage, you pay the setup minus the €497. For a serious enquiry the check is effectively free, and we carry the risk of finding nothing.
Yes, and that is how it is meant to run: the free intro call comes first, with your numbers and your office manager in the room. There we place your case and tell you what is feasible. The check follows only when you want the figure worked out in full and in writing — nobody buys it to get to know us.
€497, credited against any project. If we do not find €500 a month, it costs you nothing.
