Your Questions, Answered

The questions every SMB is asking about AI

"Can we run this model locally?"

We test your target model on real hardware and tell you exactly what you need — VRAM, compute, power, and cost. No guesswork.

"What about data sovereignty?"

GDPR, EU AI Act, data residency — we help you build infrastructure that's compliant by design. European-based, European-focused.

"Why don't we just use ChatGPT?"

Sometimes a cloud API is the right answer. Sometimes it's not. We help you understand the trade-offs: cost, latency, privacy, control, and vendor dependency.

"Are we overpaying for NVIDIA?"

NVIDIA holds 80% market share at 73% margins. We benchmark alternatives that may deliver the same performance at a fraction of the cost.

"What hardware do we actually need?"

A 7B model needs different hardware than a 70B model. Edge inference needs different hardware than batch processing. We match your workload to the right platform.

"How do we get started with AI?"

80% of EU enterprises haven't adopted AI yet. We help you start with a focused pilot — test a real use case on real hardware, and scale from there.

How We Work

From question to deployment

01

Discovery

We understand your use case, data requirements, performance needs, and budget constraints. What models are you considering? What does success look like? What are your compliance requirements?

02

Evaluation

We run your target models on multiple hardware platforms in our lab — GPUs, RISC-V accelerators, edge devices. You get a benchmark report with real numbers: throughput, latency, power, and cost-per-inference.

03

Recommendation

Based on the benchmarks, we deliver a written report with clear procurement recommendations. Not "buy the most expensive GPU" — the right hardware for your specific workload and budget.

04

Deployment

If you need help going from recommendation to running infrastructure, we're there too. Hardware procurement, setup, model optimization, and ongoing support.

Why Independent Matters

We sell answers, not hardware

No vendor commissions

We don't get paid by hardware vendors. Our revenue comes from testing and consulting — so our recommendations are genuinely unbiased.

Open methodology

Our benchmark scripts and methodology are published openly. Every number in our reports is reproducible. No black boxes.

European-based

Your data stays in Europe. We understand EU regulations, European supply chains, and the specific challenges of building AI infrastructure on this continent.
