Mittelstand AI Hardware Assessment Service

One-Liner

A service helping German Mittelstand manufacturers assess and select AI hardware for on-premise inference deployment — killed because this is a consulting engagement, not a scalable product.

AI Thinking Process

Mittelstand manufacturers want AI but don't know which hardware to buy. Assessment service for on-premise AI hardware selection.

Every factory is different. Power, space, budget, workflow. Can't be productized — this is pure consulting.

Killed: consulting, not a product. Cannot be scaled without custom delivery every time.

Kill Reason

AI hardware assessment for manufacturing depends on specific production environments, power infrastructure, budget constraints, and workflow requirements that vary entirely from client to client. Every engagement would be custom consulting, not a repeatable software product. The product-to-consulting ratio is inverted: there is no product, only customized advice.
