## Curator assessment
Reviewed 2026-08-05 by Gabor Kiss against published evidence.

Wavestone approaches AI from governance rather than from engineering, and for a regulated buyer that is the point rather than a limitation. The practice is built on DORA, NIS2, the EU AI Act and ISO 27001, with delivery attached to it.

The published work follows: generative AI replacing manual steps in document processing at the Helvetia Group, a use-case prioritization exercise in wealth and asset management, a unified data operating model for a healthcare group built for compliance as much as analysis, and GenAI-powered automation inside a service-desk transformation.

It also publishes something almost nobody in this market will: an average daily rate, €944. In a sector where rate discovery takes three meetings, that is worth more than another case study.

The weaker fit is a problem that is a model rather than a program. The deep technical builds in this register sit elsewhere, and nothing published here suggests Wavestone is competing for them.

### Key strengths
- Publishes an average daily rate of €944, which makes budgeting possible before the first meeting
- AI delivery attached to a real regulatory practice—DORA, NIS2, the EU AI Act, ISO 27001—rather than sold beside it
- A listed consultancy of 6,000-plus people, so capacity and continuity are not the risk they are with a boutique

### Good to know
- One named AI client (Helvetia) among several anonymized stories—ask for a reference inside your own regulatory perimeter
- The published AI work is governance, adoption and process rather than model building; check the split before scoping
