Clarity on where AI delivers value.
You probably know both poles.
Most SME managing directors waver between two worries - and both share the same root: a lack of clarity.
Falling behind
"Everyone is talking about AI. The competition already seems ahead. If we don't act now, we'll never catch up."
The consequences:
- •Standstill and frustration in the team
- •Growing unease
- •Competitors pulling ahead
Burning money
"We don't really understand the topic. If we invest, we risk pouring a lot of money into something that doesn't fit us."
The consequences:
- •Knee-jerk action and panicked tool purchases
- •Failed pilot projects
- •High investments without a clear ROI
The AI Potential Analysis resolves this conflict.
Where do you stand today?
5 minutes, 6 questions, a status check. Anonymous and without obligation.
How is your data organized today?
A self-assessment - not the ideal picture.
What you'll have in hand after the workshop.
Seven concrete results - no vague recommendations, no interchangeable slides.
Decision-ready with effort, benefit, owner, and risk.
Three horizons: quick wins, pilot projects, strategy.
Solid enough for an investment decision and a stakeholder presentation.
The report and roadmap are ready - you continue working right away.

How your workshop works.
Three variants, one proven methodology. You see exactly what happens before you book.
Phases
- Before the workshop
- upfront
Preparation
Please gather 5 potential applications, use cases, or concerns from your everyday work beforehand - these feed directly into the practical examples and the mini status check. - During the workshop
- 15 min
Aligning expectations & AI basics
What should AI do in the company, and what not? A shared language: LLMs, GenAI, agents, limits, risks. - 20 min
Prompting basics
Four ground rules (be specific, context, examples, structure) and three modes (asking, planning, working) - with examples from your everyday work. - 40 min
Practical examples
Five concrete use cases - email, documents, research, analysis, process support - including a live demo. - 30 min
Mini status & tool guardrails
Fill out the maturity matrix together, a tool recommendation, and guardrails for data protection, DSG, internal rules, and safe use. - 10 min
Questions
An open round from the floor. - 5 min
Decision
No project, AI Potential Analysis, or AI Strategy & Investment Roadmap? A clear answer at the end.
Phases
- Before the workshop
- upfront
Preparation
Preparation questionnaire, process sketch, data room check. The Quatico consultant gets up to speed. - During the workshop
- 30 min
Status & expectations
Maturity matrix, goal clarification, defining a picture of success for the half day. - 45 min
Process and pain-point mapping
A systematic capture of the relevant workflows, pain points, and media breaks along the value streams. - 45 min
Use case ideation
A structured collection along processes, departments, and customer journeys - not pure brainstorming. - 45 min
Scoring & prioritization
A scoring matrix with benefit, effort, data, feasibility, risk, acceptance, and time-to-value. - 45 min
Develop the top 3
For each top use case, a profile with owner, success criteria, data needs, and risk - ready for the investment decision. - 30 min
Roadmap & next steps
Three horizons (quick wins, PoCs, strategic topics) with milestones and concrete first actions.
Phases
- Before the workshop
- upfront
Preparation week
Questionnaires for participants, process sketch, data room check, and optionally short stakeholder interviews. - During the workshop
- Hour 1
Status check
Maturity matrix, pain points, expectations, a shared understanding of AI. - Hours 2–3
Use case ideation
A systematic collection along value streams, departments, and customer journeys. - Hours 4–5
Scoring & prioritization
Seven criteria per use case. A 2×2 matrix with quick wins, strategic bets, fill-ins, and avoid. - Hours 6–7
Roadmap & business case
Three horizons with milestones, ownership, an investment estimate, and a risk assessment. - Hour 8

Why Quatico?
What sets us apart from traditional consulting:
We understand Swiss SMEs.
The DACH market, German, Swiss data protection, Swiss realities. No generic consulting decks.
We build what we recommend - and we're independent.
Quatico is primarily a software engineering firm. We recommend nothing we couldn't build or integrate ourselves. At the same time, we don't sell third-party software licenses and receive no commissions - our recommendation is never tied to sales incentives.
Fixed price and guarantee.
You know in advance what it costs. A money-back guarantee if no three implementation-ready use cases can be identified.
What to watch for in an AI workshop you should ask.
The DACH market for AI potential analyses is hard to navigate. You should ask every provider these five questions - including us. That's how you tell honest consulting from a show.
Is the data situation checked?
Without a data check, every potential analysis is too optimistic. In our preparation phase, we explicitly check data availability, quality, and access rights. Use cases without a realistic data foundation are flagged - not glossed over.Are risks and compliance taken seriously?
We assess every use case explicitly for data protection, the EU AI Act, and compliance - as part of the scoring matrix, not as a general clause at the end of the report. Legally critical use cases are flagged, with a clear recommendation on weighing the risk.Do you get investable projects or just lists of ideas?
Most AI workshops end with lists of ideas. For each top use case, we deliver a profile with owner, success criteria, effort, data needs, and a risk assessment - ready for the investment decision.Is the advice tool-neutral?
Commissions and reseller agreements color recommendations - even when the provider doesn't disclose them. Ask: Are there sales or license agreements with the recommended tools? Who benefits from the choice? Serious consulting discloses these incentives - or has none.Is there a path to implementation - or does everything end at the roadmap?
What you develop in the AI Potential Analysis or in the AI Strategy & Investment Roadmap is the preliminary work for our AI Agent Workshop. We build the first AI agent in 4–8 weeks - from a prioritized use case to a production agent. You decide whether and when.
If you ask a provider these questions and don't get clear answers - don't book. Not even with us.
Use case prioritized? From plan to agent.
The AI Potential Analysis gives you clarity about the potential and a prioritized use case. If you want to turn that into real automation, the AI Agent Workshop is the direct follow-on - we pre-build the agent for exactly this use case and enable your team to take it into production themselves.
AI Agent Workshop
Three packages from Solo Agent to Agent Orchestra - from CHF 18'000.
- Pre-built agent prototype on your platform
- Vendor-independent platform recommendation (n8n, Make, Zapier, Copilot, Agentforce, …)
- Workshop on the built agent - your team understands every building block
- Guided handover to your team, optionally operations by Quatico
The AI Potential Analysis doesn't require a workshop - if you continue internally afterward, there's no hidden contract extension.
Ready for clarity?
In a 30-minute call, we clarify whether the AI Potential Analysis fits your situation - and which package makes the most sense.
