Bad news: we are now officially award-winning consultants.

We are currently processing this identity crisis.

Because “award-winning consultants” sounds dangerously close to people who say things like “leveraging synergies” without laughing.

More precisely: Double Loop has been recognized as one of Germany’s Top Consultants 2026 by the F.A.Z. Institute.

So before we get carried away, let’s put the whole thing into perspective:

Yes, there is a business model behind awards like this.
Yes, the title is also marketed commercially.
And no, we are not suddenly going to start wearing gold jackets.

Still, the recognition is based on more than a random internet badge. According to the published methodology, the assessment combines consultant information, client recommendations, public sources and additional analysis. Client feedback is described as a central part of the evaluation.

So we’ll take it.

Not because we suddenly need a title to believe in our work.

But because it confirms something we care deeply about:

Clients value what we do.

And that is the only award that really matters.

A big thank you to everyone who has trusted us, challenged us, recommended us — and occasionally told us when our first idea was nonsense.

We appreciate the recognition.

But don’t worry:

We’ll remain just as direct, stubborn and allergic to consulting bullshit as before.

Für die Website würde ich lediglich noch einen kleinen sachlichen Block ergänzen:
