The Challenge

PHENOGY AG technology company: investor facing complex emotionally charged conflict situation receiving narrative filled with misinformation about “criminal ex-investors” + founder’s “emotional concerns.” Situation opaque, real conflict source impossible identifying through traditional means.

The Approach

Phase 1 (10-second diagnosis/hypothesis): to bypass emotional narrative single data source used—public company website text fed into AI analysis tool. Within 10 seconds system generated radical diagnosis based purely on company’s language: (1) True identity = not tech disruptor but “anxiety seller with green coat of paint,” (2) True product = not battery but “reassurance,” (3) True strength = not “innovation” but “reliability.” Hypothesis suggested company’s entire public persona = front compensating for hidden internal instability. Phase 2 (forensic verification/facts): deep-dive forensic investigation launched using only verifiable public data (commercial registers, corporate databases) testing 10-second hypothesis. Findings explosive: (1) “Ghost” = supposed key founder “Ingo Bauer” did not exist in any official company records (non-legal entity, ghost in machine), (2) “Front Man” = official registered founder Peter Eugen Braun had documented history of failed tech ventures from which often exited just before insolvency, (3) “Puppet Masters” = public records showed after massive non-transparent capital injections official founder’s legal power systematically downgraded proving company controlled by anonymous unseen investors.

The Results

Hypothesis validated (forensic facts perfectly explained AI’s “anxiety-selling” diagnosis—company run by “ghost” + “front man” must sell reassurance + project reliability hiding own structural chaos), instant clarity (methodology cut through months emotional manipulation + misinformation in days, replaced confusing false narrative with clear fact-based true power structure map), ROI of truth (primary ROI = risk elimination, uncovering deception saved client from investing in company with deliberately obscured + unstable leadership structure, analysis cost microscopic compared to potential capital loss). Unparalleled early-warning system capability for investors—10-second diagnosis provided “cause of death,” forensic research simply autopsy writing official report. Invaluable tool making invisible visible in high-stakes business.

The more efficient system wins. Always.
