Our approach

Four stages.
One resilient AI operation.

We deliver AI implementation in four phases — from the free diagnostic to a dedicated AI Office in day-to-day operation. You start where your organisation stands today and build only what is viable in business, technical and regulatory terms.

I

Verifica

10 days · Pro bono

AI readiness score, prioritised use cases, a view of data and processes, risk profile under the EU AI Act. Outcome: a solid basis for decisions by executive management, IT and the business units.

→
II

Architecture

4–6 weeks · Fixed price

Operating model, governance framework, target architecture, tooling and data concept, implementation plan. Outcome: an actionable blueprint before budget and IT capacity are committed.

→
III

Build— Rinascai 90

90-day sprint · Fixed price

One prioritised use case is built close to production: securely integrated, documented for the AI Act, with change management and AI literacy for the teams involved. Outcome: measurable value instead of proof-of-concept theatre.

→
IV

Scale— AI Officer as a Service

RetainerThe goal

Your dedicated AI Officer in operation: continuous EU AI Act monitoring, governance, new use cases, architecture decisions and enablement. Depending on your maturity as Chief AI Officer, AI Officer or AI Coordinator.

Free entry point

Where does your organisation stand on AI?
In 10 days you have the basis to decide.

Verifica is a 10-day, free programme for assessing AI readiness. Together with executive management, IT and your internal AI champions we produce a clear diagnosis: where the opportunities are, where the risks are and which next steps make sense.

  • AI readiness score across strategy, processes, data/technology and organisation
  • Three prioritised use cases with quick-win and scaling potential
  • Risk profile under the EU AI Act, GDPR and governance requirements
  • Recommendation for target architecture, operating model and the AI Officer role
  • Concrete next steps including effort, responsibilities and roadmap
From more than 1,000 identified use cases we know where AI creates impact in organisations — and where it initially just creates work.

Methodology

We build AI that works.
Secure, integrated, scalable.

i.

Lay the foundation

Processes, data and target picture first — then models, agents and automation. We apply AI where value, feasibility and controllability come together.

ii.

Governance by design

The EU AI Act, GDPR, roles, audit trails and documentation are built in from day one. That reduces liability, compliance and operational risk and creates the basis for scaling AI.

iii.

Enterprise-ready, Mittelstand-minded

We combine pragmatic delivery with enterprise standards: transparent budgets, fast decisions, secure architecture and delivery by certified AI Officers.

iv.

Bring people along

AI changes how people work. That is why our highly experienced managers support your leadership, business units and IT with change management, AI literacy and new role models — so that humans and agents work together productively.

Transformation & New Work

From strategy
to productive new work.

AI is not a tool rollout. AI is a new operating model. We combine target picture, processes, data, secure technology and change management into one system that is actually used day to day.

01

Strategy

What does the organisation want to achieve with AI? We translate ambition into decision areas, priorities, a business case and governance — board-ready and actionable.

02

Processes

We capture, standardise and document processes and data flows. That is what creates robust use cases, integration points and auditability.

03

AI use cases

We prioritise and implement AI applications with measurable value: EU AI Act compliant, securely integrated and with clear accountability.

04

New work

Humans and agents work together: new roles, AI literacy, changed decision paths and an organisation that uses AI responsibly.

Rinascai AI Suite

The Suite.
The cockpit of your AI Officer.

From strategy to system: the Rinascai AI Suite connects process capture, governance documentation, risk classification, secure data paths and cost control. Your AI Officer sets up strategy and governance — the Suite keeps both running: from the first process map to auditable operation.

  • Visual process maps, BPMN and swimlanes
  • EU AI Act and GDPR tagging along processes and use cases
  • Tamper-proof audit trail for decisions, changes and responsibilities
  • Regulatory monitor and compliance radar
  • Process automation, reporting and management dashboards
  • Gateway for EU hosting, pseudonymisation and controlled model access

The promise

Use AI — without losing control.

Foundation models are becoming interchangeable. The lasting value sits in the layer that integrates AI into your organisation securely, economically and reliably — and that is exactly the layer the Rinascai Suite provides. Three commitments carry it:

I

Compliance

Sovereign by design

EU AI Act and GDPR from the start: data worth protecting never leaves your corporate network. Governance, risk classes and audit trails are created as you operate.

II

Cost control

Planned, not estimated

Budget and enforce AI spend per department, reduce consumption, weigh cost against benefit. Your CFO sees what AI costs — and what it returns.

III

Resilience

Available independently

No dependency on a single vendor or model: if one service fails, the next takes over automatically. Your AI keeps running — even when the market shifts.

Data sovereignty

Three operating models — for every risk class.

You decide where your data is processed. The Suite stays the same.

TIER 01

EU cloud

Standard

Operated in European data centres — GDPR compliant and quick to scale. For standard use cases.

TIER 02

Your own tenant

Regulated

Your cloud environment, your keys, full control. Ideal for regulated industries.

TIER 03

On-premise

High-risk

Your own infrastructure, full data sovereignty. For sensitive data and high-risk applications.

These seasoned consultants made a decisive contribution to realigning our cross-category purchasing strategy. What impressed me most was the combination of deep subject-matter expertise, a strong understanding of sports retail and data-driven solutions. The tools and methods they introduced remain in use far beyond the project and provide valuable impetus for developing our organisation further. The project result speaks for itself and creates lasting value for our company.
