Glossary of Digital Sovereignty
Digital transformation brings a new language with it. Here you will find the definitions of our key concepts – from the 5-Hour Rule to Exoskeleton Mode.
5
5-Hour Rule
The central proxy metric for project success: By automating routines and using AI, users gain back 5 hours per week for their core business and strategic tasks.
B
Boarding Service
A structured 6-step plan (Analysis, Plan, Preparation, Pilot, Usage, Partnership) that transforms Google Workspace from a simple typewriter into a real competitive advantage.
C
CAPEX Error
The outdated IT paradigm where companies make high upfront investments (Capital Expenditure) without a guarantee of results or success. The risk lies 100% with the customer.
Cognitive Atrophy
The danger of competence loss through excessive, unreflective AI consumption. ASSISTENT.digital counteracts this by positioning the human as a strategic 'director'.
Collaborative Intelligence
The synergetic collaboration between human experience and machine speed, leading to results that exceed the sum of individual parts.
Competence Framework
The methodological foundation for implementing AI strategies, ensuring that technology serves as a lever for the business model rather than an end in itself.
Competence Sprint
A company's ability to use AI not just as a tool to operate, but as a strategic leadership instrument. It marks the transition from linear processes to a scalable digital architecture. The associated 15-minute check serves as a diagnostic tool.
D
Digital Sovereignty
The state of complete independence and control over one's own digital processes, data, and automations, free from permanent vendor lock-ins.
E
Exoskeleton Mode
A leadership and working principle where AI is used as an augmentation of human capabilities to act faster and more precisely, rather than passively outsourcing thinking to the machine.
I
Impact-Indexed Pricing
A success-based pricing model oriented towards hard facts and measurable benefits (e.g., time saved, leads), instead of billing based on the opaque 'hourly rate lottery'.
IP Transfer
A core promise of the partnership: After 24 months, all developed automation scripts and apps are transferred to the customer's operational control.
P
PUE value
PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) is a metric used to determine the energy efficiency of a data center. It calculates the ratio of total power used by the facility to the power delivered to IT equipment. A value close to 1.0 is considered ideal.
Q
Queryable Knowledge Base (Team Brain)
The transformation of scattered documents and notes into a central system (e.g., via NotebookLM) where knowledge no longer needs to be searched for, but answers immediately.
R
Revenue Share (OPEX)
A partnership model where ASSISTENT.digital shares the risk and subsidizes investments, earning only when the customer actually scales (Operating Expenditure).
S
Service Economy
A counter-model to the attention economy. While platforms often steal time, the service economy is designed to gift time through transparency and efficiency.
