Does our data need to be perfect first?
No. A defined knowledge area or a clearly scoped process is enough to start.
The analysis workshop makes visible what is usable right away and what should be prepared first. Clean data helps later – it is not an entry barrier.
Will AI replace jobs here?
That is explicitly not the point. AI takes over repetitive preparation, structures information and supports checks.
Your people keep decision authority and gain time for clients, exceptions and decisions. The goal is more capacity with the same team, not a smaller team.
Do we need to be technically strong?
No. We only bring in technical complexity where it is genuinely needed for security, integration or impact.
What matters most is one contact in IT. We handle the bulk of the technical detail.
Can this run in our existing IT environment?
Usually yes. We build on your existing systems and choose solutions that
- work in the DACH context,
- respect EU hosting and GDPR and
- fit sensibly into your landscape.
We keep software, setup and operations clearly separated and discuss security and hosting early.
Does this make sense for 20 to 200 employees?
Especially then. Mid-sized companies benefit most from a clear, bounded entry point, because they do not want months of consulting but visible results.
Our approach is cut to work with manageable internal effort – without an in-house AI team.
How much internal effort does this take?
For a typical start you need:
- 1–2 owners (e.g. management or a business unit plus IT),
- a few workshops and alignment sessions and
- some time for feedback and testing.
We handle design, setup and implementation. The goal is productive first results without stalling your daily business.
Do we always have to start with the analysis workshop?
No, but it is the standard route.
The workshop is ideal when the target picture and priorities are still fuzzy. If you already bring a clearly defined use case, budget, data access and decision authority, we go straight into an implementation sprint.
What happens after the workshop?
Afterwards it is clear
- which use cases are economically worth it,
- which one should be implemented first,
- which data, systems and people are needed and
- which security and governance guardrails apply.
You decide the next step. There is no hidden obligation to a large transformation.
How do you handle data protection, the EU AI Act and critical infrastructure?
We do not sell legal advice, but we do deliver a clean, documented rollout: policy building blocks for internal use, role and access logic, documentation support for data protection and IT security, and AI literacy requirements taken into account.
We make no blanket critical-infrastructure claims. Where such requirements apply, we evidence them per project.
Are we locked into specific tools or vendors?
No. Salty Labs is not a platform product and not a reseller.
We work with proven, mostly EU-hosted solutions and choose with you what fits your IT, your compliance requirements and your budget. It matters to us that you can keep running the solution without us.
Do you only advise – or do you actually build?
Implementation and operations are the core of our business model, not an add-on.
We build setups ourselves, support go-lives and see real usage in teams. We recommend nothing we have not already built, used or integrated into workflows in practice.
