What we said about each
Our take on Datatonic
The architecture detail is unusually specific for a consultancy site. The AstraZeneca engagement documents a Bedrock RAG pipeline that ingested more than 20,000 scientific documents and 1. 5 billion input tokens, with a custom batch-sync engine written to get around a 1,000-document platform ceiling.

The strongest of Merantix Momentum's 27 dated reference pages show systems that are still running: KRASS Optik's recommender serves 900,000+ customers daily on automated retraining since 2021, Boehringer Ingelheim's video-analysis tool classifies 20+ rodent behaviors at 87% accuracy with a paper presented at ICML 2024, and caralegal's contract-review model runs inside its platform for paying customers. The generative-AI record is shorter: Cornelsen's Material Designer (launched 2024) and…

Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
Datatonic
Strengths
- The AstraZeneca RAG pipeline is documented at 20,000+ documents and 1.5 billion input tokens with the architecture published in full
- Vodafone AI Booster runs in more than eight markets and cut proof-of-concept-to-production by about 80%; its MLOps templates were open-sourced
- Delivery on both Google Cloud and AWS Bedrock, with named Datatonic engineers quoted alongside client-side leads
Watch-outs
- The AstraZeneca and Alpian write-ups quantify engineering, not business outcome—ask for the return figure
- Much of the work sits inside Google Cloud partnerships—ask who owns the platform relationship and what it costs after handover
- Seven offices across Europe and Toronto—ask which one staffs your engagement
Merantix Momentum
Strengths
- Operating numbers published per system: TÜV Rheinland damage inspection cut from 6 minutes to 20 seconds, CURREX insole assignment under 2% error, over 50% of KRASS purchases previously recommended
- EU AI Act work documented in an engagement: Hamburg's InnoTecHH process evaluated 120+ use cases in 2023, with 19 in development and 8 scaled, under a governance process built against the Act
- Named client quotes with titles (TÜV Rheinland, Siemens Energy, DZSF, caralegal, YottaSen) and external links to Hamburg press releases, a DZSF research report and the Boehringer Ingelheim paper
Watch-outs
- The three strongest production cases (KRASS, CURREX, TÜV Rheinland) started in 2021—if you are buying an LLM system, ask for one in production today with usage figures
- Seven of 27 references are funded research consortia and several more are workshops or feasibility studies—ask which people on your project delivered the production systems
- No rate is published—ask for day rates and for what monitoring and retraining cost after go-live, since KRASS and Boehringer Ingelheim both run as open-ended engagements
Service coverage
Both agencies cover the same services — on this axis there is nothing to separate them, so decide on the evidence behind the work rather than its labels.
