Our AI LAB
Information design. Kicked in the butt by AI.
Artificial intelligence is changing more than the way we create images and content. It is changing how we research, analyse information, structure processes and turn ideas into useful tools.
Information is everywhere. Attention is scarce. AI has pushed the whole communication process into overdrive. It has also made persuasion easier to manufacture. A neat chart can hide a shaky assumption. A striking image can give propaganda the look of evidence.
We develop tools and methods that make the economic forces shaping our lives easier to grasp—from everyday prices and business decisions to public budgets and debt. We want people to follow the money, test the assumptions and see what a persuasive message leaves out. The more clearly we understand who pays, who benefits and why, the harder it becomes for advertising, ideology or political interests to pass a selective story off as the whole truth.
We make selected tools available here to use and experiment with online. They are working projects and we welcome feedback from people who put them to use.
The broader objective is to understand where AI genuinely improves a process, where human expertise remains essential, and how the two can be combined into better workflows.
Communication Strategy →
Communication Design → Information & Engagement → Digital & AI Solutions
From complexity to clarity — a process that starts with an objective, audience and communication challenge, identifies, researches, structures and visualizes the information and calculations required, structures the workflow and then creates an interface which makes people understand it, learn from it and interact with it.
This process identifies what information actually matters, how different pieces relate to each other, and how they should be structured so that people can understand them, work with them and make better decisions.
Making cause and effect visible is a central part of this approach. Complex decisions are rarely based on isolated numbers: change one assumption and other results change with it. We want users to see these relationships rather than hide them behind a calculation. What happens if interest rates rise? If costs increase? If productivity decreases? By making dependencies, consequences and sensitivities visible, Communication Design turns a result from a static number into something that can be explored and understood. The objective is not simply to provide an answer, but to show why the answer changes when the underlying assumptions change.
The result can be a calculator, an analytical dashboard, a decision-support tool, an automated workflow or a small application built around a very specific problem.
Experiments in Communication, Information, Education & Intelligent Tools
Small tools developed around real tasks and real workflows.
The following Apps are no certified tools. They are only trial versions; feedback about errors, mistakes or inconsistencies is welcome.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT & VALUATION
Property valuation, financing and investment analysis
A bilingual analytical tool combining German property valuation methods, international investment analysis, financing calculations and an independent Finance Math toolbox.
This didn’t start with “let’s make an AI app.” It started with “I need a better way to analyse a real-estate investment.

FINANCIAL SCOPE
From financial statements to financial insight
FINANCIAL SCOPE is a bilingual analysis and learning tool for examining the finances of companies and countries.
Upload corporate financial statements to explore balance sheets, income statements and cash flows through calculated ratios, historical comparisons and structured assessments. For countries, FINANCIAL SCOPE connects official economic data—including GDP, government finances, trade, current accounts and international investment positions—to reveal developments, dependencies and potential warning signals.
Interactive learning modules explain how corporate balance sheets and national accounting systems are structured, how their components interact and what analysts can infer from the figures.
Analyse companies. Understand economies.

MATH EDUCATION & FINANCIAL LITERACY
From written arithmetic to understanding money
A bilingual interactive learning app that begins with step-by-step arithmetic, geometry, fractions and percentages, then progresses into practical money skills, interest, compound growth, inflation and repayment calculations.
This didn’t start with “let’s make a maths game.” It started with “learners should understand how calculations work—and how those calculations help them understand money and financial decisions.”

Watch the Game – Play the Odds
Every bet moves the pool. Every prediction counts.
WATCH YOUR BET! turns any match, race or competition into a shared betting experience. Add the contenders, enter everyone’s bets and watch the odds change live. The app instantly calculates the pool, possible payouts, individual profits and losses—and makes settling the final result simple and transparent.

THE CONSULTANT
Read the business. Find the bottleneck. Make the call.
Step into the role of a business consultant. Examine the case files, separate symptoms from causes, choose a diagnosis and recommend a plan. Then move the story forward 90 days to see what your decisions change.
The first two fictional cases take you inside an owner-dependent football agency and a growing company short of cash. Each decision comes with trade-offs: a promising order can strain liquidity, while a sensible intervention can improve one measure and hurt another. Clear explanations show how the results are calculated, so you can learn from the outcome and try a different approach.
Two cases. Your decisions. Consequences you can trace.

FINANCE MINISTER
What would you fund—and what would you sacrifice?
Running a country is easy when every promise is considered separately. Pensions should be secure. Schools need investment. Infrastructure must work. Defence, healthcare, housing, integration and environmental protection all demand attention.
The problem begins when everything has to be financed at the same time.
What would you fund—and what would you sacrifice?
Set political priorities, distribute a national budget, confront unexpected events and discover how taxation, expenditure, debt, population and limited space influence one another. A bilingual public-finance simulation for anyone who wants to understand what political promises actually cost.

THE ORGANISER
From scattered work to a defensible plan.
THE ORGANISER is a local-first CONSULTANT WORKSPACE for understanding how an organisation actually works: its people, roles, capacity, processes, handovers, evidence and decision paths.
It helps consultants turn interviews, workshop notes and structured Excel fieldwork into clear organisation and workflow maps, traceable findings, practical interventions and 30/60/90-day implementation plans. Its AI Enablement Analysis identifies where responsible AI support may help—and where human, political or qualified legal judgment must remain in charge.
Every conclusion keeps its evidence, uncertainty and limitation visible. The result is not a black-box recommendation, but a clearer basis for decisions, change and accountable improvement.
