## Curator assessment
Reviewed 2026-09-10 by Gabor Kiss against published evidence.

This is a large analytics consultancy with an AI practice inside it, and the firm publishes the numbers most agencies leave out: more than 145 consultants averaging nine years of experience, over €28 million of 2025 revenue, individual consultant CVs on the site, and group ownership under Moore Belgium since 2016.

The AI delivery evidence is narrower than that footprint suggests but it is real and dated. At the roofing and cladding company Modde, machine-learning models rank prospects, predict which orders convert to invoices and segment customers, surfaced to sales representatives through a Qlik app with write-back over Databricks, live since March 2025.

What those write-ups do not carry is an outcome figure, so you will be judging approach and staffing rather than measured effect.

Best for Belgian enterprises and public bodies that want AI built into an existing reporting and performance-management estate by a consultancy their finance function will recognize.

### Key strengths
- Verifiable at an unusual level for this category: published headcount, average consultant experience, annual revenue and named CV pages for individual consultants
- Vendor coverage spans IBM, Microsoft, Databricks, SAP, CCH Tagetik, Vena and Qlik, so an architecture recommendation is not forced by a single partnership
- The Modde build shows AI landing where the business already works—models feeding a reporting app with write-back, rather than a separate tool nobody opens

### Good to know
- The published project library is dominated by business intelligence and performance management; ask specifically for AI engagements from the last two years and what each one does today
- AI case studies name the technique but not the result—ask what changed commercially at Modde since go-live and who maintains the models now
- Delivery is described as coaching and co-development, so budget for your own people's time; this model assumes your team takes the system over
