## Curator assessment
Reviewed 2026-08-07 by Gabor Kiss against published evidence.

Seven published case studies name their client, which is rare in this market: an investment recommender for VP Bank paired with a compliance engine that filters clients automatically, generative-AI foundations at Julius Baer, a real-time Airport Operations Plan at Zurich Airport, and machine-learning churn prediction at localsearch.

What the case studies mostly do not carry is a number—the systems are described, the outcomes are not quantified, so you will be judging approach rather than measured effect.

The imprint lists separately registered entities in ten countries with a named CEO for each, which is the kind of footprint that changes how an engagement is staffed and priced.

The weaker fit is a team wanting a fast, cheap prototype; this is an engineering firm that has been trading since 1968 and scopes accordingly.

### Key strengths
- Eleven named clients across banking, aviation, health and energy, including HSBC, NHS, Kardex, UNIQA and National Grid ESO
- The VP Bank build put compliance filtering into the architecture rather than into a policy document—useful precedent if you are buying under supervision
- Swiss entity registered at Schlieren, with an engineering practice that long predates the AI practice sitting inside it

### Good to know
- Published case studies rarely include outcome metrics—ask for the before/after numbers on any engagement you are using as precedent
- No published rates; anchor against the European range on our rate index and expect this firm above it
- Delivery may be staffed from any of ten country entities—confirm which office actually holds your team
