What we said about each
Our take on craftworks
Delivery evidence sits in the navio product line—published success stories describe visual-inspection systems running on production lines with measured outcomes, and navio itself is an MLOps platform with model retraining, blue/green deployment, out-of-distribution detection and edge rollout to Azure IoT and TTTech Nerve. Names and numbers sit on different pages: VERBUND, Wien Energie, voestalpine and ZKW Group are quoted by name and role in testimonials, while the recent success stories…

Read the full assessment →Our take on enliteAI
The published evidence is research and product, not client delivery: enliteAI maintains Maze, an open-source applied reinforcement-learning framework, co-authored a 2025 paper with grid operator TenneT on power-grid topology control, and spun out Detekt, a GeoAI road-asset platform acquired by Cyclomedia in August 2025. Fifteen client logos are published—A1, Andritz, Audi, Boehringer Ingelheim, EY, Erste Group, voestalpine and the City of Vienna among them—but no engagement is described…

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 craftworks if you need
- disclosed specialization in Healthcare
- broader service offering — also covers Generative AI
- a higher overall editorial score
Choose enliteAI if you need
- disclosed specialization in Public Sector
- broader service offering — also covers AI Agents and AI Consulting
Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
craftworks
Strengths
- Published outcomes carry numbers: 94% accuracy classifying bearings with 82% precision on defect type, 72% faster package inspection, 60% less time on manual toolkit checks
- navio covers the operational side most AI suppliers leave out—retraining, shadow deployments, data-drift and out-of-distribution monitoring, with deployment to edge hardware
- The VERBUND engagement is documented as a multi-year rollout, extended to the Drau and Malta power plant groups, linking their AKS measurement database to their GAMS optimization engine
Watch-outs
- The success stories with the strongest numbers are anonymized—ask which named client each deployment belongs to and for a reference you can speak to
- No rates published; anchor against the European range on our rate index and clarify whether navio is licensed separately from the delivery work
- Generative AI is listed as a service but no success story documents a generative deployment—ask for one with an outcome if that is your project
enliteAI
Strengths
- The method is checkable in public: a 2025 paper co-authored with grid operator TenneT on multi-objective grid topology control, plus first place in the 2022 L2RPN power-grid competition
- Maze, their applied reinforcement-learning framework, is on GitHub—you can read how they build agents before hiring them
- Detekt, the GeoAI platform they built and spun out, was acquired by Cyclomedia in 2025, which is shipped-product evidence even though it was their own venture
Watch-outs
- No client case study is published anywhere on the site—ask for a written engagement summary with outcomes before shortlisting
- The energy work reads as a methodology and pilot framework rather than a live deployment—ask which grid operator is running it and at which maturity step
- Computer vision is still listed as a capability, but Detekt, the team behind it, was sold in August 2025—confirm what vision capacity remains in-house
