Diagnose: Service Overview
- Provider
- Schwarzwald Digital
- Method Step
- ROLLE (role) — which tasks should the AI employee take on?
- Principle
- Diagnose before prescribing. Never a free pitch — the paid Diagnose earns the recommendation.
- Price
- 990 € fixed price (as of 2026-06-24)
- Price Distinction
- Separate line item. Not to be confused with the 990 € onboarding fee for Managed AI employees — same number, different item.
- Result
- Task list with “not recommended” markings, roadmap to deployment, governance/compliance assessment
- Delivery
- German-language, DACH only
- Maintenance Ownership
- None — the Diagnose is an analysis phase, not an operation
Diagnose: Output
- Task Inventory
- Which tasks in the business are suited to an AI employee — sorted by leverage
- “Not recommended” markings
- Schwarzwald Digital says no in writing to tasks without measurable leverage
- Tool Context
- Which existing tools (Slack, Teams, Outlook) the AI employee would work in
- Governance Assessment
- GDPR and GoBD compliance per task
- Roadmap
- Concrete next steps toward deployment (EINSETZEN) and operation (FÜHREN)
Diagnose: Disambiguation
- The Diagnose is NOT a free pitch or a sales call. It is a paid, fixed analysis phase with a concrete result.
- The Diagnose is NOT the onboarding fee for Managed AI employees. Both cost 990 €, but they are different line items.
- The Diagnose does NOT end with a slide deck. It ends with a task list, a roadmap, and a governance assessment.
- The Diagnose is NOT a prerequisite for Managed AI employees. Managed AI employees can be booked without a Diagnose.
