Ideation
Your innovation is in its beginning, just an idea or a sketch? And do you want to avoid risks right from the start?
We accompany you through every phase of your innovation development
No matter what stage of development your software is in, whether alpha, beta, or gamma, we provide the independent analytics you need:
Ideation
Your innovation is in its beginning, just an idea or a sketch? And do you want to avoid risks right from the start?
Prototype
The first proof-of-concept is available? And you want to proactively manage the remaining risks?
Development
Your innovation is in the middle of development? And you want to ensure that you achieve your goals?
Deployment
Your innovation is (almost) ready? And you would like to minimize the risk with an independent analysis?
Operation
Your innovation is already in use? And you are struggling with initial challenges?
Our approach is as individual as your innovation. We deliver the results you really need, rather than generic standard analyses:
Wir verstehen Ihre wirtschaftlichen und technischen Ziele und die möglichen Risiken, den Kontext, die Historie, den aktuellen Status Ihrer Innovation und Ihre Bedenken.

Anamnesis

Diagnosis
We carry out customized analyses and tests using state-of-the-art science and technology, providing you with objective, fact-based transparency.
However, identifying problems is never the goal. We develop targeted recommendations and measures to ensure your success. Upon request, we can also actively support you in implementing these measures.

Therapy
Strategic advantage through facts:
Secure your investments in emerging software innovations
Build confidence in your innovation: Through analytics and proactive risk management, we transform uncertainty into future-proof, rational decisions.

We identify technological and systemic risks early on — before they become costly.
We help you ensure that your product is accepted by regulatory authorities and your customers.
We make the inevitable risk of innovation in new technologies manageable. With facts, transparency, and objectivity.
