The starting context
We examine activities, people, tools, available data, constraints and the intended result. The Context Report helps us avoid reconstructing the case from scratch during the discussion.
We start by understanding the context and the activities involved. Our aim is to integrate AI into work so that, together with people, it can help understand what is needed, develop solutions and evolve them with safety and continuity.

Before choosing
AI consulting starts from the organisation’s actual work and leads to a concrete decision: which AI capability to introduce, where to try it and how to keep its results verifiable, with clear responsibilities.
Every domain has its own characteristics, constraints and possibilities. This page provides general orientation: priorities, the form of the solution and how to proceed emerge from the context and are defined for the actual case.
The MAIOS approach
Consulting begins with the context and the information provided. Together we identify the intended result and define a suitable process.
In MAIOS work, the present case connects to the capabilities the project needs to develop over time. We consider which knowledge, reasons behind decisions and principles should continue to guide work as tools, conditions and priorities change.
This approach comes from D-ND research on cognitive kernels: cores through which an AI system understands context, forms relevant competences and revises how it operates. For the case at hand, we assess how to translate this direction into concrete work, with responsibilities and terms defined together.
We examine activities, people, tools, available data, constraints and the intended result. The Context Report helps us avoid reconstructing the case from scratch during the discussion.
We choose a case with enough definition to be tested and enough relevance to support a useful decision.
We assess whether the case calls for an assistant, automation, an agentic system, a working method or another suitable configuration.
The result of the first discussion
The discussion organises what has emerged from the report and makes clear what is useful to try, what still needs verification and what can remain open.
To prepare for the discussion, the guides can help us choose a first AI project, examine where to process data and evaluate the project’s evidence. They help describe the case before we discuss it together.
Before agreeing to the work
The Context Report prepares the assessment and remains under your control. After reviewing it together, we define the result, scope, timing and fees. Consulting begins after you accept these terms.
The process can end with the assessment. If the case calls for AI Setup or subsequent integration, that work is defined as a separate step.
Prepare for the discussion
Human consulting is an additional service alongside AI Setup. The Form prepares a case report for us to review together. The Context Report reduces the time needed to reconstruct the case and keeps the information provided, the possibilities to assess and the open decisions distinct.
In the first step of the Form, select Human expert consultation.
The result remains under your control before it is shared.
