    01How we work

    Forward deployed: embedded in your team

    Our senior engineers work where your work happens: on site and remote, with your data, systems and governance. From the first use case to production.

    01

    Embedded in your team

    We work within your rituals, tools and repositories, on site and remote.

    02

    In your environment

    We build inside your systems and your governance. NDA on request, no model training on your data or code.

    03

    Senior all the way to production

    The person in your first call is the same one designing your architecture and building with your team.

    04

    Domain model before agents

    We cut bounded contexts together with your domain experts, using Domain-Driven Design and Event Storming. The specs for the agents come after.

    05

    Fractional CTO on request

    For companies without dedicated technical leadership: architecture decisions, technology assessments, vendor selection and building internal engineering structures, until you hire your own.

    06

    Handover to your team

    In the end your team carries on independently, or we operate and evolve the system long-term.

    How it runs

    1. 1Discovery callWe understand your project, risk profile and timeline and recommend the right start: rapid prototyping or straight into Agentic Engineering. Free, no commitment.
    2. 2Scoping & architectureRequirements, technology decisions, and a realistic schedule – transparently and traceably documented.
    3. 3Iterative developmentContinuous delivery in short cycles. You see progress in every cycle.
    4. 4Launch & handoverDeployment, documentation, and optional handover to your internal team – or we operate and continue developing the system long-term.
    02What we build

    AI capabilities for your software landscape

    We build on the Claude and Cursor stack and connect AI with the systems where your work actually happens. Every capability is backed by evals and made for production.

    01

    AI Skills

    Reusable capabilities for agents on the Claude and Cursor stack: skills, project rules and commands that let agents work reliably in your codebase and your processes.

    Our Claude Code overview
    02

    Context engineering

    Schemas, memory files and data pipelines that give agents exactly the context they need. That is the decisive lever for reliable results.

    03

    Agents & MCP servers

    Tool-using agents connected to your systems via the Model Context Protocol, with defined boundaries and approvals. Our own MCP server is publicly reachable.

    Our MCP server
    04

    Evals & quality assurance

    LM judges, golden datasets and CI/CD gates check how your AI systems behave before a change goes live.

    How we evaluate
    05

    AI integration into existing software

    LLMs, embeddings and automations, cleanly embedded in your existing software stacks and system landscapes.

    06

    MVP → production

    Turning existing prototypes or grown systems into production-ready, maintainable software.

    How we build AI systems

    This is the technology behind our AI work: the same stack that runs our Labs tools in production.

    01

    Retrieval & RAG

    Embeddings, vector stores, and hybrid search over enterprise knowledge – with chunking and reranking strategies we choose per corpus.

    02

    Agent orchestration

    Tool-using agents coordinated via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), with schemas, memory files, and defined boundaries. We operate our own public MCP server, so we know the practice first-hand.

    03

    Guardrails & safety

    Input and output validation, prompt-injection defenses, PII filtering, and human-approval gates for consequential actions, built into the architecture from the start.

    04

    Model routing & token economics

    The right model per task: small and fast where possible, frontier-class where it matters. We plan caching, batching, and cost budgets in as architecture decisions.

    03Evidence that runs

    Built with the same methods we recommend

    Our Labs projects run in production on exactly this stack. You can look at them, and some you can try directly.

    Live

    Public MCP server

    AI assistants use it to query our services, assessments and insights and, with consent, to submit an enquiry.

    Live

    Signalwaves

    Hourly semantic clustering of 500+ news sources, served to web, iOS and Android.

    Live

    Index-Radar

    S&P index inclusion forecast across the entire US equity universe, recalculated fully automatically twice per trading day.

    Live

    Conversational agent

    Our assessment runs as an agent in dialogue and turns the conversation into a prioritised report.

    04From prototype to production

    Two modes, one clear logic

    The difference lies in how much structure and verification surrounds your work with AI.

    From a quick prototype to a production-ready system: the right mode depends on stakes of the code. A demo for the board can be built fast and loose. An API that processes payments calls for Agentic Engineering.

    01Discovery · Learn

    Rapid prototyping: idea to demo in days

    Fast, casual prompts, often called vibe coding. Ideal for demos, user tests and technical hypotheses. The code serves learning and does not go to production.

    • Investor demo or board presentation in 48–72 hours
    • Clickable prototype for product discovery and user testing
    • Test technical hypotheses before budget is committed
    02Production · Scale

    Agentic Engineering: production systems that scale

    Formal specifications, architecture docs and memory files define the context. Automated test suites, CI/CD gates and LM judges verify every step.

    • Production systems and team-scale development
    • Automated tests, CI/CD gates, LM judges
    • Agents self-diagnose failures within defined boundaries
    • Low risk profile through systematic verification of every phase

    How we verify what AI writes

    Ask an AI-native team how mature they are, and they answer with exactly one thing: how they evaluate their LLM systems. We treat evals as infrastructure and build them in from the first agent.

    01

    LM judges

    Automated graders that score AI output against a rubric – correctness, safety, tone – before a human ever sees it.

    02

    Golden datasets & regression suites

    Curated test cases that catch silent regressions the moment a prompt, model, or context pipeline changes.

    03

    CI/CD gates

    No agentic change ships without passing its eval suite – the same discipline as unit tests, applied to LLM behavior.

    04

    Human-in-the-loop checkpoints

    For high-stakes decisions, a defined review point where a person signs off. Evals shrink that surface, and a person stays involved at those points.

    AI-native teams ask: "How do you evaluate your LLM systems?" That's the real maturity signal.

    05Knowledge that stays

    Anchoring agentic work in your team

    We work with Claude Code and Cursor every day. We bring that practice into your team, so your developers work agentically and quality stays high.

    1. 01

      Project rules & context

      CLAUDE.md, Cursor rules and architecture docs that explain your conventions, your domain and your boundaries to agents.

    2. 02

      Skills & commands

      Recurring tasks as skills and commands the whole team shares, from reviews to releases.

    3. 03

      Review gates & evals

      Tests, CI/CD gates and evals that check agentic changes before they reach the main branch.

    4. 04

      Support in daily work

      We work with your team on real tasks until the new habits stick.

    06Total Cost of Ownership

    Cheap to start. Expensive to run.

    Speed alone does not decide the return on a codebase. Total cost of ownership does, and in the AI era that cost is driven by token economics. Prototype code written with fast, casual prompts (vibe coding) is almost free to start, but the bill arrives later if it stays in use: token burn when the model fixes its own mistakes, a maintenance tax when someone reverse-engineers ad-hoc code months on, plus security cleanup.

    Agentic Engineering inverts the curve: more effort upfront (schemas, tests, structured context) for markedly lower cost per feature afterwards. Beyond the crossover point, vibe-coded software can cost 3–10× more per feature. That is why we use rapid prototyping for learning and Agentic Engineering for everything that has to live.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    The questions we hear most from clients in startups, hidden champions and enterprises.

    01What does forward deployed engineering mean at Scenaryo?
    Our senior engineers work embedded in your team, on site and remote. They build in your environment, with your data, systems and governance, from the first use case to production. Then we hand over to your team.
    02Which tools do you work with?
    With the Claude and Cursor stack: Claude Code, Claude models and Cursor, extended with our own skills, project rules and evals. For your environment we choose the right model per task.
    03What distinguishes rapid prototyping from Agentic Engineering?
    The difference lies in how much structure and verification surrounds the work with AI. Rapid prototyping uses fast, casual prompts, often called vibe coding, for demos and discovery. Agentic Engineering works with formal specs, automated tests, CI/CD gates and LM judges. The framing follows the tier model by Osmani, Saboo & Kartakis (Google/Kaggle, 2026), which has a middle tier in between: Structured AI-Assisted Coding.
    04When is rapid prototyping the right choice?
    When speed matters more than production readiness: demos for investors or the board, user tests, feature spikes. The code serves learning and does not go to production.
    05What is Agentic Engineering and when do I need it?
    Agentic Engineering is how we build production systems: formal specs, architecture docs, memory files, automated tests and CI/CD gates. Agents self-diagnose failures within defined boundaries. Necessary for systems carrying critical business processes or subject to compliance requirements.
    06How long does a typical project take?
    Rapid prototyping: 2–5 days. Agentic Engineering: 6–16 weeks. We agree on the concrete timeline during scoping.
    07What does custom software development with Scenaryo cost?
    We work transparently with fixed prices per sprint or by effort. Agentic Engineering is significantly cheaper than classic development over the project lifetime due to structured context. You get a concrete estimate after the free discovery call.
    08Where is Scenaryo based and how do you work?
    Scenaryo is a Munich-based consultancy. We work with clients across DACH and Europe, on site and remote.
    09Do you also handle operations and maintenance after launch?
    Yes. After launch you choose: handover to your internal team with documentation, or continuous maintenance, evolution and operation by us with clearly defined SLAs.
