Press Release PAICE® AI Framework

Exxeta Launches PAICE® – the AI Framework That Takes Pilots to Scale

Karlsruhe, June 10, 2026 – Exxeta, a leading German consulting and technology company, has developed PAICE®, an AI framework that tackles one of the biggest challenges in AI today: moving AI initiatives beyond the pilot phase and scaling them across the enterprise.

PAICE® Provides Direction and Builds Momentum

Many companies are currently investing in AI applications, proof of concepts, and pilot projects. Yet the move into productive operations often remains difficult, and initiatives fail to scale as intended. Common reasons include unclear responsibilities, missing governance, weak data and technology foundations, and insufficient enablement across business units. PAICE® addresses exactly these issues. The framework connects strategic, technological, and organisational perspectives to enable successful AI transformation, with the goal of making that transformation manageable, measurable, and scalable.

To achieve this, PAICE® combines an AI maturity assessment with a clearly prioritised roadmap. The maturity assessment reveals which foundations are already in place, where the critical gaps lie, and which actions offer the greatest leverage for further AI transformation. The roadmap then serves as the implementation plan for embedding AI in a way that creates lasting business value.

The AI landscape is evolving rapidly. With PAICE® Pulse, companies can steer their implementation in the right direction and at the right pace. This workshop format brings AI leads together on a 10-week cycle to measure progress, remove blockers, and continuously adjust the direction of their initiatives.

Five Dimensions for Successful AI Transformation

PAICE® stands for five dimensions that are critical to sustainable AI adoption: Pioneering (strategic direction), AI (specific use cases), Integration (technological integration), Company (organisational embedding), and Enablement (workforce capability building). Depending on the AI initiative, the right foundations must be established across these dimensions before AI can scale and deliver real economic value.

The framework connects strategic direction, specific use cases, technological integration, organisational embedding, and workforce enablement in one cohesive approach.

These dimensions help organisations assess their current position with precision and focus their efforts where the need for action is greatest. Depending on the starting point, the entry can be through strategy, through specific use cases, through data and platform questions, through organisational structures, or through capability building.

"PAICE® brings together everything we have learned about AI over the past years," says Andreas Ritter, CEO and co-founder of Exxeta. "We have learned that AI cannot be viewed in isolation. It requires a framework that connects all the relevant dimensions of a business, from strategy down to the individual employee. That is exactly what PAICE® delivers."

Embedding AI as a Strategic Capability

With PAICE®, Exxeta addresses companies that want to build AI not just as a point solution, but as a long-term, strategic part of their business model. The framework is suited both for organisations looking to structure their first AI initiatives and for companies already running multiple use cases that are now ready to professionalise their business models, governance, and scaling approach.

In this way, PAICE® translates AI potential into business reality, through structured foundations, clear direction, and the rhythm that creates momentum where it matters most.
