Methodology

How we work — and what you take away

Senior consultants lead, AI amplifies, accreditation anchors it. Three pillars, one promise: measurable quality that holds up in a DAX audit and delivers fast in the mid-market.

01
Senior + AI, never junior alone.
Every engagement is led by a senior. AI amplifies our expertise — it doesn't replace it. You pay for experience, not for learning curves at your expense.
02
Learning from 17 years.
Every project extends our methodology pipeline. What we've learned at DAX corporations, mid-market companies and public authorities flows straight into your project — no reset to zero.
03
Audit-ready to DAX standard.
ISTQB®-, IREB®- and GTB-accredited. Our quality assurance is certified, reproducible and audit-proof — even in regulated industries.

01 · Senior + AI: what that means in practice

We don't staff projects to be "cost-efficient" — we staff them to be effective. In practice, that means:

How we deploy senior expertise

Where we use AI — and where we deliberately don't

02 · Learning from 17 years: our methodology pipeline

Since 2009 we've captured lessons from every project: what worked, what didn't, which templates saved friction, which reporting format the board accepted. The result is a toolbox that serves as a starting point for new engagements — you don't pay to reinvent the wheel.

What's in the pipeline

How this flows into your project

Step 1
Baseline diagnosis
What's there, what's missing, where the biggest friction is — structured in the first week.
Step 2
Pipeline match
Which pipeline building blocks fit your situation — no one-size-fits-all template, but a targeted selection.
Step 3
Adaptation
Building blocks are tailored to your domain, tools and stakeholders — no copy-paste.
Step 4
Handover + learning
Your team takes over, we extract the lessons back into the pipeline — and your next project benefits.

03 · Audit readiness: accreditations and standards

In DAX corporations, the public sector and regulated industries, you need to be able to demonstrate on request how and to which standards you work. We bring the evidence with us.

Our accreditations

ISTQB®
Certified Tester – Accredited via GTB
IREB®
CPRE Foundation Level – Recognized
GTB
Accredited training provider since 2012

Standards we apply in compliance

What that means in an audit

On request we deliver: test concept templates with standard references, trainer accreditation records, syllabus conformance evidence, process mapping to ISO 29119, and EU AI Act documentation for AI components. Your compliance team can take it over without a translation layer.

04 · How we work with you

We believe consulting quality depends on how closely the senior is actually involved in the project. Our standard engagement structures:

Format A
Quick check (1 day)
2.500 € net. Three to five prioritized measures in writing after 5 working days. An initial sanity check.
Format B
QA maturity audit (4 weeks)
25.000 € net, fixed price. Maturity report, ISTQB-compliant mapping, identification of AI levers.
Format C
Classic engagement (6–16 weeks)
A senior consultant supports setup, implementation and handover. Content and impact metrics vary by consulting field.
Format D
Larger program
Multiple engagements in parallel or in sequence. Individual setup, individual quotation.
