FAQ
Questions about the Digital Check
Who is the Digital Check designed for?

It is particularly relevant for manufacturing and industrial companies, technical service providers, engineering firms, B2B service companies, schools, and educational institutions.
What exactly is assessed during the Digital Check?
We examine selected business processes, existing systems, information flows, and organizational workflows. Our analysis focuses on identifying manual tasks, disconnected systems, inefficient coordination, and untapped opportunities for digitalization and automation. The specific scope of the assessment is agreed upon before the project begins.
What will we receive at the end of the Digital Check?
You will receive a structured assessment report that includes: An overview of your current level of digital maturity The five most significant improvement opportunities identified A prioritized roadmap for potential improvements Concrete recommendations and next steps We will also present and discuss the findings with you to support informed decision-making.
How much time will our employees need to invest?
We structure the Digital Check to minimize disruption to your daily operations. Typically, your team will participate in a kick-off meeting, a small number of focused interviews with relevant employees, a joint validation workshop, and a final results presentation. The exact time commitment depends on the agreed assessment scope and will be clarified before the project begins.
How long does the Digital Check take?
The Digital Check typically takes approximately one to two weeks. This timeframe assumes that the necessary information and key stakeholders are available when required. For larger or more complex organizations, we will agree on an appropriate schedule in advance.
How much does the Digital Check cost? Are there any additional fees?
The Digital Check is offered at a fixed price of €2,990 net excluding VAT for the agreed standard scope. Before the project begins, we jointly define the objectives, assessment scope, and included services. If an extended assessment would be beneficial, we will discuss this with you beforehand and provide a separate proposal. No additional costs will be incurred without your prior agreement.
Do we need to know which processes should be improved before starting?
No. Many companies recognize that certain workflows are inefficient or time-consuming but are unsure about the underlying causes. This is precisely where the Digital Check comes in. We help you identify relevant challenges, understand their impact, and determine which areas offer the greatest potential for improvement.
Does Metareq recommend specific software products or AI solutions?
Metareq provides vendor-independent and technology-neutral consulting. We evaluate which organizational, process-related, and technical improvements make the most sense for your specific situation. This may involve optimizing existing systems, introducing new software, or implementing automation. Not every challenge requires new technology, and not every process needs artificial intelligence. Our recommendations are based on your business needs, feasibility, and long-term value.
Are we required to purchase additional Metareq services after the Digital Check?
No. The Digital Check is a standalone consulting service. You are free to implement the recommendations with your internal team, existing service providers, or other partners. If you would like further support, Metareq can assist with process optimization, automation, or technical implementation. There is no obligation to engage us for additional services.
Will processes be automated or software solutions implemented during the Digital Check?
No. The Digital Check focuses on analysis, evaluation, and prioritization. Detailed process redesign, software development, and technical implementation are not included in the standard scope. If required, these activities can be addressed through separate services such as Process Excellence, AI & Automation, or Implementation Extension.
How does Metareq handle confidential company information?
We treat your company's information confidentially and limit data collection to what is necessary for the agreed assessment. Before the project begins, we clarify which documents and system access may be required, as well as any applicable data protection or confidentiality agreements. Sensitive information will not be shared with third parties without an appropriate legal basis or authorization.
What happens after the Digital Check?
Following the final presentation, you will have a clear and structured basis for deciding on your next steps. You remain in control of which improvements to pursue, their priority, and who should implement them. If desired, Metareq can support you with further planning and implementation. However, there is no obligation to continue working with us.
