Executive alignment through a conviction prototype—not a slide deck.
For a major European construction group (confidential / NDA), we built an AI-infused construction intelligence experience in days—not to tick feature boxes, but so leadership could feel unified visibility across a nine-figure euro portfolio. Domain-realistic mock data, role-based views, and AI features framed as decision support, not magic.
Strategic Fiction looks like rapid prototyping. It feels different — because the intent is different.
Strategic Fiction is not for every project. It's for the moments where the idea is bigger than the current reality — and that gap needs to close fast.
You're raising capital or requesting budget for something new. A working product demo creates conviction that slides cannot. Let them click through the future.
You need to win a contract before you've built anything. A Strategic Fiction prototype shows the client exactly what they're buying — in their language, with their data.
Leadership is stuck in debate. A working prototype stops the conversation and starts the commitment. Make the abstract concrete — and watch consensus form.
Don't describe your product. Demonstrate it. A Strategic Fiction prototype turns a booth conversation into a product experience that visitors remember — and share.
In one week, we built a complete AI-powered construction intelligence platform for a confidential client—a European contractor under NDA managing a nine-figure portfolio across many concurrent sites.
The brief was simple: show the Geschäftsführung what unified project intelligence could feel like. Not a concept. A product.
A mid-sized construction enterprise. Data fragmented across ERP, planning tools, BIM, and email. No executive visibility. No coherent AI story for stakeholders.
One conversation. One whiteboard. A clear vision.
Eight realistic projects across multiple regions. Trade schedules, budget deviations, milestone timelines. Six subcontractors with performance scores. Four invoices with AI-detected anomalies. A nine-figure portfolio that breathes.
Every number chosen to tell a story
Portfolio overview with traffic-light status across all projects. Role-based views for CEO, project manager, and site supervisor. Analytical mode and operational mode. Instant client-side filtering.
Three personas. One platform. No surprises.
KI-Rechnungsprüfung: invoice anomaly detection with confidence scores (97% clean, 44% risky). Risikofrüherkennung: cross-project pattern detection that surfaces systemic issues invisible to any single PM. Terminprognose: schedule forecasting with 87% confidence.
AI as decision support — not magic, not marketing
A complete, working prototype. Navigable by anyone. Dark mode. Mobile-responsive. German UI. The kind of thing you hand an iPad to the CEO and watch them explore without a word.
The platform doesn't exist. But after seeing it, the client asked when it could go live.

Start with a focused conversation or a short proof. We'll align on the real problem, then use AI and craft to make it tangible—fast.
