Beyond the pilot

Where clients go next

The first project proves the value. What comes after depends on your data, your team and your goals, so we scope and price it together once we know what you need.

Support Assistant

A customer asks if the Pro plan includes SSO. What do I answer?

Yes. SSO (SAML) is included in Pro and Enterprise. Setup takes about 15 minutes; send them the admin guide.

Proof

We measure it, and show you how

Accuracy claims in AI are easy to make and hard to trust. So we measure ours the boring way: a curated set of 44 real business questions with known correct answers. Our AI data assistant got 97% of them right, and it was in front of large enterprises in healthcare, banking and telecom within 4 months of the first line of code.

On your project we do the same with your questions. You get the score, the test set and every miss, so you can decide with real numbers.

  • Your own questions, your own data
  • Every answer traced to a verified KPI
  • Misses reported, not hidden

Who's behind it

Hi, I'm André Dollfus

Founder, Alpenstack Partners

I started Alpenstack Partners to make data and AI projects simple to buy: a fixed price, a short timeline and a guarantee in writing.

I build production AI and data systems. Most recently, an AI data assistant that answers business questions in plain language: 97% correct on a 44-question test set, in front of large enterprises within 4 months. I've also run 10-day pilots like the one on this page with teams at HubSpot, Siemens and Hilti.

When you book a call, you talk to me, and I'm the one doing the work.

Guarantees

We take the risk, not you

On time, or free

The finance AI pilot is delivered within 10 working days. If we miss that, you don't pay.

Walk away after the data check

We look at your data first. If it isn't ready for a pilot, you can stop right there at no cost.

Real savings, or free

If our SQL Server plan can't find an option that costs less than paying Microsoft for 3 more years of extended support, the assessment is free.

How it works

From first call to handover

  1. 30-minute call

    We ask one question first: what happens if this isn't solved by the end of next quarter? If there's no real deadline, we'll tell you honestly that now isn't the time.

  2. Data check

    We look at what you have. You get a clear go or no-go, and a free exit if it's a no.

  3. Build

    Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. You see progress, not status reports.

  4. Handover

    Measured results, documentation, and a team that knows how to run it.

Who we work with

  • Companies with 200 to 2,000 employees
  • Finance leaders (VP, Director or Head of FP&A, CFO) who need answers faster
  • IT and BI leaders responsible for SQL Server, SSIS or SSRS

Who we're not for

  • Companies with large in-house AI or data teams
  • Consultancies and agencies
  • Projects without a deadline that matters

FAQ

Questions we hear

Why do you publish your prices?

Because you should know what something costs before you spend time on a call. Fixed scope, fixed price, no surprise invoices.

Why don't follow-up projects have a price?

Because they depend on what the first project shows: your data, your systems and what your team needs next. We scope them together and give you a fixed quote before anything starts.

What does "honestly measured accuracy" mean?

We test the assistant on a set of your real questions with known correct answers and report the share it gets right. Our 97% figure comes from exactly that: 44 curated questions, each with a known correct answer.

What if our data isn't ready?

That's what the data check is for. If your data can't support a pilot yet, you can walk away at no cost, and you'll know exactly what to fix.

What do you need from our team?

Access to the relevant data, a few hours from one person who knows it, and a list of the questions your team gets asked most.

Our SQL Server is already out of support. Is it too late?

No, that's the most common situation we see. The plan shows what extended support costs you from here, what the alternatives cost, and the safest order to move.

Let's see if it's a fit

30 minutes. If we can't help, we'll say so.
