Question 1

What is AI consulting for SMEs?

Accepted Answer

AI consulting for SMEs is practical advisory work that helps smaller companies identify where AI can genuinely save time, improve reporting, and support better decisions — before investing in complex tools or custom development. 1Strategist focuses on clear opportunity audits, readiness assessments, workflow reviews, and scoped implementation steps sized for SMEs.

Question 2

Who is 1Strategist for?

Accepted Answer

1Strategist is for SMEs, founders, managers, and teams in Luxembourg and the Greater Region who are exploring practical AI use. The practice is designed for smaller companies that want clear deliverables and no jargon, not open-ended consulting engagements.

Question 3

What is an AI opportunity audit?

Accepted Answer

An AI opportunity audit is a short review of your workflows that identifies where AI could save time, improve reporting, or support better decisions. It is delivered as a concise report with priorities, and is usually the first engagement before any larger commitment.

Question 4

What is an AI readiness assessment?

Accepted Answer

An AI readiness assessment evaluates your data, tools, processes, risks, and internal capacity before investing in AI. It helps you understand whether your information is usable, which workflows are good candidates, and what controls you need.

Question 5

What is the difference between AI consulting and software development?

Accepted Answer

AI consulting focuses on advisory work: clarifying use cases, comparing tools and vendors, mapping workflows, planning adoption, and managing risks. Software development builds custom solutions. 1Strategist starts with consulting and only recommends a proof-of-concept or custom build when there is a clear business case for it.

Question 6

Do small companies need AI consulting?

Accepted Answer

Many SMEs are unsure which tools to use, which workflows to automate, whether their data is usable, or how to control risks. Practical AI consulting turns that uncertainty into a clear plan of next steps, so smaller teams can adopt AI through agile, high-impact projects rather than expensive open-ended development.

Question 7

Can AI consulting help with GDPR-compliant AI use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 1Strategist is Luxembourg-based and GDPR-aware. Engagements include defining safe use rules, human review points, privacy considerations, and documentation for AI-assisted workflows, so your team can adopt AI with appropriate controls.

Question 8

Does 1Strategist serve companies outside Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

1Strategist is based in Bertrange, Luxembourg and serves SMEs in Luxembourg and the wider Greater Region (Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Germany). Engagements are delivered in English, French, or German.

Question 9

How do you start a project with 1Strategist?

Accepted Answer

Engagements typically begin with a short conversation about your business context, current tools, pain points, and AI questions. From there, 1Strategist reviews workflows, prioritises opportunities, and delivers a clear roadmap with tool shortlists and implementation options. You can request a review via the contact form on the website.

Question 10

What does 1Strategist deliver?

Accepted Answer

Deliverables include AI opportunity audits, readiness assessments, AI tool and vendor shortlists, workflow and automation reviews, AI strategy reports and roadmaps, AI workflow and prompt systems, proof-of-concept support, and explainable AI and data science advice. Each engagement has a defined objective, timeline, and outcome.
