More about Crux Digits →Most agencies disappear after the first call and come back with a thick requirements spec. We don't. Once we understand your problem, our second conversation is built around a working MVP you can actually click. From there we shape it together — what to improve, what to drop, and what's truly essential — so you reach the right product faster.
You walk us through the problem and what you're trying to achieve. No jargon, no sales deck.
Instead of a document, we come back with a working prototype you can see, click and react to.
We use the MVP to decide what's truly essential, what to improve and what to cut — then build the real thing.
From AI strategy to strategic implementation, Crux Digits is the AI consultancy that also ships the product — data, models, AI agents and the applications around them — for faster decisions, automated operations and measurable ROI from one accountable partner.
A clear-eyed audit of your data, systems and opportunities, turned into a prioritised AI roadmap with projected ROI.

AI is accelerating software delivery at every stage — but faster code alone doesn't make teams more productive. Engineering leaders need to redesign how teams plan, build, test and ship. Crux Digits helps organisations transform their engineering operating model and turn AI acceleration into measurable output.

Crux Digits is a Netherlands-based AI consultancy and product-engineering firm serving clients across the Netherlands, Benelux and Europe. We cover the full path — AI strategy, AI implementation, machine learning, generative AI, AI agents, computer vision, data engineering and custom AI application development — taking you from the first roadmap to a working product in production, with the EU AI Act and GDPR built in. We are the hands-on, senior alternative to the big consultancies.
Transparently, with two clear models. Consulting and advisory work is €150/hour. Build engagements run on fixed scope and fixed price — AI Audit & Strategy €2,500, Proof of Concept €20,000 and Production Launch from €50,000 (excl. VAT). Every relationship starts with a free 30-minute consultation so you can scope the value before committing.
Finance, healthcare, retail & e-commerce, manufacturing & factory automation, logistics, energy & utilities, maritime & ports, and food & beverage — among others. We bring cross-industry experience to every engagement.
Most engagements move from discovery to a working solution in weeks, with clear milestones along the way. Larger builds scale from there.
No. We can work end-to-end, or advise and upskill your in-house team — whichever fits your stage and resources.

Yes. Crux Digits gives larger organisations a hands-on, senior, fixed-price alternative to big-consultancy AI transformation — the same strategic rigour without the layered teams, junior staffing or open-ended day rates. We scope each engagement to a fixed price (AI Audit & Strategy from €2,500, Proof of Concept €20,000, Production Launch from €50,000), stay accountable from strategy through to production, and build the EU AI Act and GDPR in from day one. We are a specialist boutique, not a global firm — and for AI transformation that is usually the point.
Both. Crux Digits is a full-service AI product and engineering firm — we do strategy and consulting, then design, build, deploy and maintain the actual product under one roof. That covers custom AI software and applications, AI agents and copilots, machine learning models, and the data engineering and LLM optimisation (RAG, fine-tuning, evaluation) underneath, deployed to cloud or on-prem. You can engage us for advisory only, or for the complete end-to-end build — most clients start with a roadmap and continue into the build with the same team.
