How we work
Discovery to production, without the slide-deck detour.
Splendens engagements move in four crisp stages — discovery, prototype, build, scale — with measurable outcomes at every gate. No 12-month proof-of-concepts that never ship.
- 4 stages
- Discovery → scale
- Weeks
- Not quarters
- Outcome
- -gated milestones
- Co-build
- With your engineers
How we work
A repeatable engagement model so initiatives compound instead of stalling after the pilot.
- 01
Discover
Joint immersion — data landscape, constraints, risk posture, and the outcomes that define success.
- 02
Design
Architecture and proofs with measurable KPIs; sandboxes before anything touches production.
- 03
Deploy
Hardened integrations, observability, red-teaming, and rollout plans your stakeholders can stand behind.
- 04
Scale
Continuous evaluation, cost controls, retraining cadences, and expansion into adjacent workflows.

Real Splendens engagements vary in scope, but here's the cadence most production builds run at. Discovery + architecture + four sprints + canary + scale, with hard outcome checkpoints every two weeks.
- W1 – W2step 1
Discovery sprint
- Workflow shadowing with your domain leads
- Data + integration audit
- Working prototype on the highest-leverage use case
- Risk register, ROI model, go/no-go memo
- W3 – W4step 2
Architecture + threat model
- Reference architecture written to your IT standards
- Security & compliance review with your CISO team
- Eval harness drafted against real labelled examples
- Sprint plan locked, demo cadence set
- W5 – W8step 3
Build sprints
- Two-week sprints with weekly demos
- Production-bound RAG / agent / model pipelines
- Observability + CI/CD wired in from day one
- Eval harness re-runs every release candidate
- W9 – W10step 4
Internal canary
- Shadow-deploy to internal users
- Latency, cost, and quality dashboards live
- Bug bash + UAT with your domain leads
- Runbooks, on-call rota, escalation paths defined
- W11step 5
Production launch
- Phased rollout — 10% → 50% → 100%
- Blameless retros after every increment
- Real-time SLO dashboard handed to your SRE team
- W12+step 6
Scale & operate
- Quarterly eval + cost-optimisation reviews
- Roadmap reviews aligned to your OKRs
- On-call MLOps if you want us in the rotation
