01 · WHO

Three things have to be true.
If they are, the form below is for you.

A

You sit in the seat.

CEO, Vorstand, Geschäftsführer, C-Suite, or Founder of a DACH company with revenue €15M+ and headcount 80+. The methodology lands at the operating-decision level — not below it.

B

You see AI activity. Not leverage.

Pilots running. Tools licensed. Some workflows accelerated. But the operating model hasn't shifted, and the board is asking why the cost line keeps growing without the throughput line moving.

C

You read before you commit.

You'd rather sit with the published methodology for an evening than book a workshop sight-unseen. The book is 380 pages — it earns the time.

If those don't match —
The free ebook The AI Operating Gap is available with no request required. Same methodology, 38 pages, two-field gate.

02 · WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Four things in the box.
Shipped DHL Premium.

Item 01

The signed book.

380-page hardcover (or paperback per stock). Signed on the title page in person. The AI Operating System: How Leaders Turn AI Into Operating Leverage — Edition 01.

Item 02

A handwritten note.

Two or three sentences. Andreas references the operational pain you described in the request — in your own words — and points to the chapter most relevant to it.

Item 03

An industry one-pager.

Printed insert mapped to your declared sector — insurance, e-mobility, or industrial. The methodology applied to your operating model, not a generic marketing version. No fabricated case studies; engagement scenarios drawn from sector research and prior operator work, with the KPIs each plan would target.

Item 04

The Diagnostic card.

Printed card with QR access to the 12-question scorecard. Most readers run it after Chapter 02 — the score arrives by email with a personalised next move.

03 · WHY BY REQUEST

Not on demand.
By request.

The book is paid on Amazon — that's where it belongs commercially. But for leaders ready to put the methodology to work, the book deserves to land on your desk with a note, not as a digital download.
Fifty copies go out each month, signed personally. Selection prioritises companies where the methodology will land on a real operational problem — which is why the form asks you to describe one specific operational pain you'd like to solve. If there's no specific pain, the book won't help yet.

04 · INSIDE THE BOOK

What you're reading for.
In one paragraph.

The Three Levels framework — AI as Tool, AI as Specialist, AI as Operator — explains why most AI activity stalls at Level 01 without compounding. The six-component model defines what an AI-native operating system actually contains. The 90-Day implementation path turns it into a calendar. Used in delivery for SZU, OTTO Group, and Smartlab.

06 · FAQ

Five questions.
Asked and answered.

Can't I just buy it on Amazon?

Yes — and you should. Available on Amazon DACH at €19.99 paperback / €29.99 hardcover / €9.99 Kindle. Founder's Copies is a separate channel: signed copies sent personally with a handwritten note, capped at 50 a month. Different artefact, different purpose. Both are valid.

What if my company is smaller than €15M?

The free ebook The AI Operating Gap is the right starting point. It contains the diagnostic and the first move. Below €15M revenue, the operating-scale assumptions in the book don't hold — you'd be reading content built for a different stage.

What happens to my request data?

Standard DACH-compliant handling. Used to ship the book and follow up — that's it. Never sold, never licensed to third parties. Stored in a German-hosted CRM. Full privacy policy linked. You can request deletion at any time.

How long does selection take?

5 business days from request to notification. Books ship within 14 days of selection. Andreas reviews the queue every Tuesday morning. If you're approved, you'll know on Tuesday or Wednesday that week.

Will you contact me after?

Yes — a short 5-email sequence over 30 days, optional to engage with. Day 0 is ship day; Day 7 is "did the book arrive?"; Day 14 references the chapter most relevant to your stated pain; Day 21 a case excerpt; Day 30 a soft close with the three engagement options. You can unsubscribe one-click at any time.
