# AI Orchestration for Luxembourg and European SMEs

## Who this is for
- Small and medium European businesses considering or deploying AI.
- Founders and operators (not CTOs) who need practical guidance.
- Businesses where 17% EU-small-enterprise AI adoption rate is an
  opportunity, not a reason to delay.

## Problem
- Most AI advice is written for venture-funded US startups. It does not
  apply to a 12-person European services firm.
- Generic SaaS AI tools create recurring costs that scale badly and vendor
  lock-in that scales worse.
- Without a clear plan, AI budget gets spent on tools that don't change
  how work gets done.

## What we do
- AI readiness assessments scoped to your actual operations — we read your
  workflows, not a generic questionnaire.
- Pilot projects with measurable outcomes — time saved, error rate reduced,
  customer requests handled — on a fixed budget.
- Tool selection that favours self-hosted and open-source where it saves
  money and keeps you in control.
- Staff training so the team owns the capability after we leave.

## Outcomes
- Specific workflows running with AI assistance, with measurable impact
  you can show a board.
- A tool stack that doesn't create cost spirals or lock-in.
- Staff who understand what AI is doing and can extend it.
- A clear roadmap — what to do next, when, and why.

## How we work
- Fixed-price discovery. Fixed-price pilots. Transparent scoping.
- Weekly cadence. Written decisions.

## Next step
Start with a discovery call. We'll review your current operations and
propose whether a pilot project, a strategy engagement, or nothing-yet
is the honest answer.
