What we said about each
Our take on ADVISORI
An IT consultancy that reaches AI through regulation rather than the other way round, which is the right order for its market. The practice names NIS2, DORA, the EU AI Act, ISO 27001 and the Cyber Resilience Act, and the AI work is attached to that rather than sold beside it. Two published engagements carry real AI substance: generative AI for process optimization at a German technology group, where the stated result was cutting AI implementation time to a few weeks alongside earlier error…

One of Germany's longest-running data-science consultancies, working since 2011 with a stated bench of 85-plus specialists, and its published work leans toward the front of the engagement: AI strategy, use-case roadmaps, transformation programs. Condor's AI transformation is the one case study that names its client. The rest—an energy provider, a fund company, an international industrial group—are anonymized, so the delivery work described (ML-based machine monitoring, computer vision in…

Where each agency measurably leads on the published data — team capacity, declared specializations, editorial scoring, and rates where both publish them. Use these to match an agency to your project priorities.
Choose ADVISORI if you need
- larger team capacity for multi-stream or enterprise-scale programs
- broader service offering — also covers AI Automation
Choose statworx if you need
- closer collaboration at a smaller team scale
- broader service offering — also covers Generative AI
Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
ADVISORI
Strengths
- Regulatory practice is the foundation, not an add-on—DORA, NIS2, the EU AI Act and ISO 27001 are named across the offering
- 120-plus employees and operating since 2014, which is real capacity for a program that has to survive an audit
- Publishes its own AI product alongside the consulting, so the engineering is not purely advisory
Watch-outs
- Both AI cases are anonymized by sector and neither publishes a client name—ask for a reference in your regulatory perimeter
- One of the three published cases is digital transformation rather than AI; confirm which practice you are buying
statworx
Strengths
- Operating since 2011, one of the longer track records in German data science
- Roadmap and strategy work is a genuine specializm here rather than a preamble to a build
- Condor's transformation is published end to end, from exploration through to scaling
Watch-outs
- Most case studies are anonymized by sector—ask for a named reference in yours
- The portfolio skews to strategy and roadmapping; if you need engineering delivery, confirm the split before signing
Service coverage
Where the two overlap, and where each covers ground the other does not.
Industry coverage
Both agencies cover the same industries — on this axis there is nothing to separate them, so decide on the evidence behind the work rather than its labels.
