AI advisory for
regulated mandates.

AI strategy, GenAI implementation, AI agents, MLOps and EU AI Act compliance — at the level of top-tier international consultancies, integrated with tax, legal and holding expertise under one roof. For mandates where AI is meant to become a production system, not just a "pilot".

— Advisory Areas

Eight AI disciplines.
One integrated advisory.

We don't build AI mandates as pilot projects that never leave the lab — we build production systems with clear value creation, regulatory resilience and a scaling roadmap. Senior-partner-led, vendor-independent, backed by TABAK's tax, legal and holding expertise.

AI Strategy & Readiness Assessment

Where does AI pay off — and where doesn't it? A structured readiness assessment across data, process and technology maturity. Use-case prioritisation with business case and risk matrix.

GenAI Implementation

Production-grade integration of GPT, Claude, Llama and domain-specific models — RAG architectures, prompt engineering, function calling, tool use, hallucination control. End-to-end, from POC to production.

AI Agent Development

Autonomous workflow agents, multi-agent systems, long-horizon tasks. We don't build toy chatbots — we build agents that take on real value creation: controlled, auditable, with escalation paths.

Process Automation (RPA + AI)

Classic RPA combined with AI models for hybrid automation. Document intelligence, OCR with genuine comprehension, decision-making in unstructured data.

Custom Model Development

ML and deep learning models for specialised use cases. Fine-tuning of large language models on domain-specific data, vision models, forecasting and anomaly detection systems.

EU AI Act & AI Compliance

Applicability analysis under the EU AI Act, high-risk system classification, conformity documentation, risk management frameworks. With verifiable audit trails — before the regulators come knocking.

Data Strategy & MLOps

Data architecture as the foundation: data lakes, feature stores, ML pipelines, model monitoring, A/B test setups. Without a clean data infrastructure, every AI initiative fails.

AI Training & Enablement

Executive briefings, technical training for development teams, AI compliance workshops for business units. Including in-house sessions at C-level.

— Methodology

Pilot — but
with a path to production.

We don't build AI demos that gather dust after the board presentation. Every POC comes with a scaling path, MLOps infrastructure and a compliance roadmap. That sets us apart from many pure-play AI boutiques — and makes AI at TABAK an investment-grade business area.

Use-case identification with ROI model

Structured identification of the right AI use cases along value creation and data availability. With a real business case — not "because it's trendy right now".

POC built to production requirements

Even at POC stage, we build with the libraries, structures and security standards that will apply in production. No throw-away code.

Compliance from day one

EU AI Act, GDPR, industry-specific requirements — factored in from the scoping phase. We don't build systems that later have to be shut down as "non-certifiable".

MLOps & Lifecycle

Model monitoring, drift detection, re-training pipelines. Without these structures, production models degrade within 6–12 months. We always build them in.

— Mandate Types

Who we
typically work with.

Mid-market firms under AI pressure

Managing directors and boards who need to prepare AI initiatives — for competitiveness, efficiency or the investor story. We deliver strategy and production-grade POCs that can be explained internally and externally.

Regulated industries

Insurers, banks, healthcare, critical infrastructure — clients whose AI must operate under the AI Act's high-risk classification. We make them audit-proof.

Family offices & investors

AI due diligence for investments, valuation of AI-driven business models, post-acquisition AI integration. With the discretion these mandates demand.

Group subsidiaries with their own momentum

Independently operating group subsidiaries that need their own AI roadmap — aligned with group compliance, but technologically self-reliant.

— Frequently Asked Questions

What clients want
to know upfront.

Do you also deploy custom models, or only GPT/Claude?

Both — and that is precisely one of our strengths. For many use cases, frontier models (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini) are the right choice. For regulated data, offline requirements or specialist domains, we develop custom models or fine-tunings. The use case makes the decision — not a vendor bias.

How long does a typical AI mandate take?

Readiness assessment: 4–6 weeks. GenAI pilot with production path: 3–4 months. Custom model development: 4–9 months. EU AI Act compliance for high-risk systems: 3–6 months. We commit to a binding timeline during the scoping phase.

What sets you apart from an AI agency?

We don't just build the use case — we think through the tax, legal and holding context alongside it. Implementing AI in a regulated industry means AI Act compliance, GDPR records of processing activities, and potentially IP structuring for the models developed. We deliver all of this under one roof — no agency can do that.

What is your minimum mandate size?

Initial mandates start at approx. €18,000 (readiness assessment). Implementation mandates from €45,000. We deliberately decline small engagements — the depth AI demands today cannot be delivered credibly below a certain volume.

Do you work on-premise, or cloud only?

Both. Cloud (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Anthropic via API) for most commercial use cases. On-premise or sovereign-cloud setups (Llama, Mistral models, local inference) for regulated data, critical infrastructure and clients with data protection concerns about external providers.
