Your data holds
more than the working day.
Put your data to work — for your own AI applications, or as a new source of revenue.
I take stock of your company data, assess it, and help you use it: for in-house AI, for training and fine-tuning your own models, or for licensing it to suitable buyers.
A description of your data is enough to start.

01 / The potential
What is routine for you
can take AI further.
How a fault is recognised, an order is handled or a plant is inspected: that kind of data shows specialist practice. Together we look at how you can use these holdings for your own AI applications, model training, fine-tuning or external licensing.

Documents & processes
Structured documents and traceable steps: from the enquiry through the work to the checked result.

02 / Two ways to create value
Use it in your own company.
Or make it valuable to others.
The starting point is the same: understand which data you have and what it is good for. We choose the path from your goals.
Data consulting & delivery
Move your own AI forward
I take stock of your data and assess it, and I help prepare it for in-house AI — from a knowledge assistant to training and fine-tuning your own models.
- Data inventory and quality assessment
- Prioritize use cases and feasibility
- Training, fine-tuning and evaluation
- Integration and operation in the company
Introductions & licensing
Open up new revenue
If your data is also relevant to external AI developers, I assess the licensing potential and introduce you to suitable buyers.
- Assess suitability for external use
- Clarify the data profile and rights of use
- Approach suitable AI companies
- Support licensing and the terms
The hardware to match
Your own AI. On your machine.
I build and configure AI computers for use in your company. Choose the platform, memory, storage and GPUs, and request an individual quote.
Performance reference values ↗The two paths can complement each other. Consulting for internal use is also available independently of an introduction to buyers.
03 / From data to results
Understand what you hold.
Put the potential to work.
A clear process, and one person to talk to. You decide at the points that matter.
Take stock
We record sources, formats and specialist context. With your teams, I clarify what knowledge sits in the holdings.
Result: an overview of your dataAssess the potential
I review data quality, rights of use and possible applications. Together we prioritize benefit, feasibility and effort.
Result: a sound basis for a decisionChoose the path
In-house AI, your own model, fine-tuning or external licensing: we set the goal, the approach and the success criteria.
Result: a concrete planPut it into practice
I support data preparation, a pilot and integration — or the approach to buyers and agreeing a suitable licence.
Delivery matched to your project04 / A deliberate decision
Your data.
Your terms.
Whether the use is internal or the licence is external, we clarify who may use your data for what, and on what terms it is processed.
Answers to your questionsAccess & purpose
We set out which teams or service providers need access, and whether the data will be used for knowledge access, training, fine-tuning or evaluation.
Rights & confidentiality
We review third-party rights, personal data and trade secrets in light of the planned use and the environment you choose.
Effort & economics
We look at preparation, implementation and ongoing operation, and at possible licence revenue. Scope and terms are agreed before you commission the work.

The first questions.
Plain answers.
Can we use the consulting without selling data?
Yes. Taking stock of your data, assessing it, and advising on or building in-house AI are separate services. Introducing you to external buyers is optional. We can also look at both paths and weigh their requirements against each other.
What do we get from a data assessment?
We agree the scope to fit your holdings. Typical results are a data inventory, an assessment of quality and suitability, prioritized use cases, and a plan for the preparation required and the next steps. That gives you a basis for an investment decision.
Do you also support training, fine-tuning and internal use?
Yes. I help choose the approach, prepare data, train or fine-tune a model, evaluate it and integrate it into your environment. We also check whether the goal can be met with existing models and targeted access to your knowledge. A pilot with agreed success criteria is the basis for what follows.
Which companies are a fit?
Companies in Germany that have their own data, built up over time, and that can clarify how it may be used. What matters is specialist context, quality and the rights in the data. Smaller, specialized holdings can be relevant too. A first view starts with a description.
What are our data worth?
The value depends on the use: internally, on the benefit of an application and the cost of building and running it; externally, on content, quality, rights and demand. I assess the relevant options with you. Licence revenue or savings cannot be promised in advance. We agree the scope and fee for consulting before you commission it.
Who are possible buyers if we license data?
Potential buyers are companies that develop, adapt or evaluate AI models. Before any data is shared, we agree the recipient, scope and purpose with you. This website does not name existing buyer relationships. Finding suitable interested parties is part of the introduction.
How do you handle confidential and personal data?
First we clarify which data could be used for the internal or external purpose you have in mind. Personal data, trade secrets and third-party rights have to be checked separately. We agree any legal and privacy reviews with you and with suitable specialists. In a first contact, please send only a general description, not raw data.
What should we consider before licensing data externally?
The licence sets out who may use which data for what, whether it is exclusive, and what further sharing is allowed. You decide whether to accept those terms. Model training that has already happened cannot simply be undone technically. That is why we settle the terms of use before any release.
Do our data already have to be prepared?
For the first conversation, a description of the sources, formats and approximate volume is enough. If there is potential, we agree the next steps for assessment and preparation — for your internal application or a possible licence. This website does not ask you to upload your data.
