Verfahrenscheck · For German enterprise HR
Know what a termination will cost you, before you sign it.
The decision was right. The file wasn't.
Most terminations that fail in court were lawful on the merits. They failed because the documentation, process, or chronology could not be defended months later. Verfahrenscheck surfaces those weaknesses before the Kündigung goes out — reading the file the way an Arbeitsgericht will.
- §102 hearing
- Personalakte
- Chronology
- Annahmeverzug exposure
- AGG risk
- 72h turnaround
The loss you don't forecast is the one that reaches the board.
Annahmeverzug starts the day the notice lands; the financial consequences arrive much later. A dispute that takes twelve to eighteen months to resolve can create a six-figure exposure before costs are considered. The board sees the number long after the original decision was made.
The same applies to AGG exposure. An unresolved complaint, an incomplete chronology, or a procedural inconsistency may remain invisible during approval and become highly visible during litigation.
A single avoided Annahmeverzug loss can pay for years of reviews.
What you receive.
One structured defensibility review, returned typically within 72 hours, while the decision can still be changed:
- Documentation gaps — what is missing from the file.
- Procedural risk — where the process is incomplete or inconsistent.
- Evidence weaknesses — facts that require support before approval.
- Chronology review — whether the sequence is complete, coherent, and defensible.
- Exposure analysis — expected dispute range and potential Annahmeverzug exposure.
- Executive summary — one clear read for HR, Legal, and governance stakeholders.
Every conclusion shows the rule, the fact, and the reasoning. You remain the decision-maker.
One standard. Every manager. Every site.
Your strongest manager should not produce a more defensible termination than your weakest. Every location, every business unit, every case — the same methodology and the same review standard. Consistency should not depend on who happened to handle the file.
What Legal, the DPO, and the Betriebsrat will ask on day one.
Legal: Can we inspect the reasoning?
Yes. Every conclusion maps to the underlying rule, the facts in the file, and the reasoning applied. Legal can review the analysis line by line rather than reviewing a black-box score.
The DPO: Where does the data go?
- Local deployment available today
- No runtime AI required
- EU/Germany data residency
- AVV available
- DPIA template available
Your organisation retains control of the environment and the data.
The Betriebsrat: Is this employee or manager monitoring?
No. Verfahrenscheck assesses termination cases. It does not score managers. It does not evaluate employees. It does not generate performance rankings.
A Betriebsvereinbarung template is available as part of the deployment package.
Governance
Verfahrenscheck supports decisions. People make them.
Built with the first five, not sold to the next five hundred.
Verfahrenscheck is currently being built alongside its first five German employers. Founding design partners receive pricing locked through 2028, direct influence over methodology and roadmap, priority access to the first on-prem deployment, direct access to the founders, and early participation in employer-side legal validation against real cases.
If you need a mature vendor with years of references, Verfahrenscheck is not that today. If you want visibility into termination exposure before the rest of the market catches up, that's exactly who we're building with.
The best litigation is the one that never surprises you.
Know where the risk is. Strengthen the file. Sign with confidence.
Submit one live or recent termination case. Receive a structured defensibility review, typically within 72 hours. Work directly with the founders.
