AI Strategy Should Not Begin With Tools
Felix Schaller
AI strategy should not begin with tools.
It should begin with maturity, feasibility, risk, and governance.
At FelixSchallerCOM we have published a new 4-page overview of our AI Strategy, Safety, and Technical Due Diligence advisory services. The document outlines how we support organisations, investors, and engineering leadership in evaluating AI initiatives before major capital, technical, or reputational commitments are made.
What the overview covers
AI Strategy and Feasibility Advisory
Technical Due Diligence for AI, Autonomy, and Deep-Tech
SOTIF / Autonomy Safety Risk Review Sprints
Architecture Reviews for Regulated AI Systems
Interim and Fractional AI Safety Leadership
AI Strategy Maturity Matrix
SLAM, SafeWahr research, and autonomy safety validation
The AI Strategy Maturity Matrix
A key focus of our work is the model-based AI Strategy Maturity Matrix: a structured framework to assess how far an organisation has progressed in AI adoption, which prerequisites are missing, and which initiatives are technically realistic, governable, and economically meaningful.
We believe AI strategy should not be driven by hype, vendors, or isolated use cases. It should be built around the question:
What conditions must be fulfilled before AI can be trusted to act?
