Frequently asked questions
What does AI consulting at Waldsee cost?
Day rate CHF 2,200 for implementation and joint delivery. Audits and workshops at a fixed price of CHF 5,000–15,000. No hidden hourly billing, no packages with lock-in.
Is my SME too small for AI?
Usually not. From around 20 employees, there are enough repetitive processes for at least two worthwhile use cases.
Do I need on-prem AI?
That depends on your data. Personal data, fiduciary mandates, patient data or strict IP: then probably yes. For many office workflows, cloud AI with a revDSG-compliant configuration is enough.
