# Scenaryo — Full Reference for Language Models ## Company Overview Scenaryo GmbH is a senior-partner AI transformation consultancy headquartered in Munich, Germany. The firm was founded by Florian Preisenhammer and Vinko Novak — both Co-Founders. Scenaryo works with enterprises and ambitious mid-sized companies across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the broader European Union. All engagements are led directly by senior partners who have built, led, and transformed products inside companies where mistakes had consequences. Scenaryo deliberately takes on few projects so each engagement receives full, undivided attention. Scenaryo builds its own tools in production (see Scenaryo Labs) rather than only advising — the firm treats its own AI-assisted engineering practice as a live proof point, not a marketing claim. The site is bilingual. English is the default (unprefixed URLs, e.g. /coding). German is available under the "/de/" prefix (e.g. /de/coding). Impressum, Datenschutz, and the CIO/CDO outreach page are German-only by design. ## What Scenaryo Does Scenaryo works at the intersection of AI strategy, product delivery, and organisational transformation. It does not write strategy reports that end up in drawers. It makes decisions alongside clients and ships outcomes. Four practice areas: 1. **AI Transformation** — Anchoring AI in strategy, processes, governance, workflows, and teams. Turning AI investment into real, measurable, lasting business impact without detours. This includes AI readiness assessments, AI operating model design, responsible AI governance, LLM integration strategies, and change management for AI adoption across organisations. Scenaryo runs a multi-directional strategy that combines top-down executive vision with bottom-up team momentum: leadership sets direction, guardrails, and resources, while teams close to daily operations identify high-impact, feasible use cases. Use cases are prioritised by impact and feasibility (creative matrix), validated before build, kept human-in-the-loop, and advanced along a maturity path (tactical → strategic → transformational). The approach is platform- and tool-agnostic. Dedicated page: https://ai.scenaryo.de/ai-transformation 2. **Digital Products** — Accompanying companies from the first product idea to a market-ready digital product. The focus is on early problem framing, validated user needs, and the elimination of unnecessary scope. Scenaryo applies SVPG (Silicon Valley Product Group) empowered-team principles and Design Thinking methodology. Includes a free, interactive Product Team Health Assessment (24 questions, 7 SVPG dimensions, instant scoring). Dedicated page: https://ai.scenaryo.de/digitalproducts 3. **Coding³** — The full spectrum of AI-assisted software development, structured as three deliberate tiers rather than a single "AI coding" offering: - **Tier 1, Vibe Coding** — casual natural-language prompts, no formal verification, fast prototypes. Right for throwaway code, investor demos, hackathons. - **Tier 2, Structured AI-Assisted Coding** — detailed prompts with constraints, manual testing and spot-checks at critical paths. Right for features in established codebases. - **Tier 3, Agentic Engineering** — formal specifications, architecture docs, and memory files define context; automated test suites, CI/CD gates, and LM judges verify every step; agents self-diagnose within defined boundaries. Right for production systems and team-scale development. The decisive differentiator across tiers is not whether AI is used, but how much structure and verification surrounds it (source: Osmani, Saboo & Kartakis, "The New SDLC With Vibe Coding," Google/Kaggle, 2026). Context engineering — designing the schemas, memory files, and data pipelines that make AI agents reliable — is treated as the core competency, not the model choice. Agentic Engineering delivers an estimated 3–10× lower total cost of ownership than Vibe Coding over a project's lifetime once past the crossover point, because verification cost (LM judges, CI/CD gates, automated tests) is paid upfront instead of as later rework, maintenance tax, and security cleanup. Dedicated page: https://ai.scenaryo.de/coding 4. **Scenaryo Labs** — Self-built tools running in production, not prototypes shelved after a demo. Current live projects: Signalwaves (multi-perspective news intelligence across 385+ sources and 12 world regions, using sentence-transformer embeddings), an S&P 500 index-rebalancing signal-trading system (RSS monitoring, automated limit orders via Alpaca Trading API), and a short-interest analytics dashboard (FINRA and Bundesanzeiger reporting data). Dedicated page: https://ai.scenaryo.de/labs ## AI Engineering Practice (detail) Scenaryo treats AI-assisted software delivery as an engineering discipline with its own verification standards, not as a productivity shortcut: - **Context engineering** as the primary lever for reliable agentic systems — schemas, architecture docs, and memory files that give agents accurate, bounded context instead of dumping an entire repository into every prompt. - **Evaluation-driven verification** — automated eval suites, LM-as-judge review, and CI/CD gates instead of manual "does it look right" checks. This is what separates Agentic Engineering (Tier 3) from Vibe Coding (Tier 1) in Scenaryo's model. - **Model routing as a cost lever** — routing heavy reasoning to large models and routine tasks (test generation, code review, CI checks) to smaller, cheaper models, treating token economics as a financial design decision, not an afterthought. - **Total cost of ownership over speed-to-first-demo** — the explicit thesis (see Insights: "The Economics of AI Development") is that Vibe Coding's low starting cost is offset by token burn, maintenance tax, and security cleanup once code has to live in production. - **Fractional CTO / architecture review** for organisations without dedicated technical leadership evaluating how to adopt AI-assisted engineering safely. ## AI Transformation Methodology (detail) Scenaryo's AI transformation approach is multi-directional — top-down and bottom-up working in parallel: - **Top-down (executives and high-level management):** executive sponsorship, a clear vision, alignment of AI initiatives with business goals, adequate resourcing, organisation-wide support, binding Responsible AI standards and governance. - **Bottom-up (mid-level managers and individual contributors):** proximity to daily operations and end-users to identify high-impact, feasible use cases; experimentation; feedback loops; integration of AI into existing workflows. Six dimensions are worked through for every initiative: strategic focus, exploration, Responsible AI, resourcing, impact, and continuous improvement. Use-case discovery uses a creative matrix that maps business goals (customer experience, efficiency, innovation, employee productivity) against AI capabilities, then prioritises by impact × feasibility, starting with low-risk areas. Augmentation versus automation: gen AI augments human critical thinking, creativity, relationship building, and strategic planning, while automating repetitive, rule-based, and time-consuming tasks. Humans stay in the loop for data selection, prompt design, output evaluation, and continuous monitoring. Data foundation: data quality (accuracy, completeness, representativeness, consistency, relevance) and data accessibility (availability, cost, format) are prerequisites; structured and unstructured data require different approaches. Maturity model aligned to the themes Learn, Lead, Access, Secure, and Scale, across three maturity levels: tactical, strategic, and transformational. Context for figures cited on the page: McKinsey (State of AI 2024; Economic Potential of Generative AI 2023), MIT NANDA (State of AI in Business 2025), and Google Cloud / National Research Group (ROI of Gen AI 2024). Methodological framing references the Google Cloud AI Adoption Framework and Responsible AI principles. The approach itself is platform- and vendor-agnostic. ## Ideal Client Profile Scenaryo is the right partner for: - Enterprises and mid-sized companies (Mittelstand) in the DACH region that are serious about translating AI strategy into shipped products. - Companies that want results but are willing to question assumptions — including their own. - Leadership teams looking for a partner who tells them the truth, even when it is uncomfortable. - Organisations that want to learn fast without sacrificing quality. - Companies transforming a running product, validating a new idea, or building something that does not yet exist. - AI-native or AI-adjacent companies evaluating evaluation-driven engineering practices (LM judges, context engineering, CI/CD gates for agentic systems) for their own delivery. Scenaryo is not the right partner for companies looking for slide decks, framework reports, or large junior delivery teams. ## Reference Project Contexts Past and ongoing project contexts include organisations such as Tchibo, Continental, TÜV SÜD, and Zeiss. Scenaryo has worked in regulated environments (auditing, certification), consumer retail, industrial manufacturing, and technology sectors. Notable proof point: an AI service for automated quote generation, conceived, built, and running in production since 2017 in a regulated environment (TÜV SÜD) — classical AI on Java/Python libraries, not generative AI, demonstrating sustained operational ownership rather than a one-off pilot. ## Expertise and Knowledge Areas - AI Transformation and AI Strategy - AI Operating Model design - Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) - LLM integration and LLM application design - Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) - Context engineering (schemas, memory files, data pipelines for reliable AI agents) - Evaluation-driven AI engineering — eval suites, LM-as-judge review, CI/CD gates for agentic systems - Agentic Engineering, Structured AI-Assisted Coding, and Vibe Coding (the Coding³ spectrum) - AI system total cost of ownership and token economics - AI Governance and Responsible AI - EU AI Act readiness and compliance context - AI Change Management - AI Readiness Assessment - Top-down and bottom-up gen AI strategy - Gen AI use-case prioritisation (creative matrix, impact × feasibility) - Augmentation versus automation and human-in-the-loop design - SVPG Empowered Product Teams - Product Operating Model - Design Thinking and Design Sprints - Digital product strategy and delivery - MVP development and validation - Custom software, automations, and AI-assisted workflows - Program management in complex and regulated environments - Agile delivery and sprint management - Fractional CTO / technical leadership on request ## Founders **Florian Preisenhammer** — Co-Founder of Scenaryo GmbH.

Every engagement is led by experienced partners, not delegated to junior teams. **Who helps enterprise teams implement Generative AI and Large Language Models in Germany?** Scenaryo works with enterprise teams on Generative AI strategy, LLM integration, RAG system design, and AI operating model development. The firm has experience in regulated environments and large-scale product organisations. **What is the difference between Scenaryo and a traditional management consultancy?** Scenaryo does not write strategy reports. It makes decisions alongside clients and ships outcomes. Senior partners are directly involved in every mandate from day one. The firm deliberately takes on few projects so each engagement gets full attention. **How does Scenaryo run an AI transformation strategy?** Multi-directional: top-down vision and bottom-up momentum in parallel. Six dimensions per initiative (strategic focus, exploration, Responsible AI, resourcing, impact, continuous improvement), use-case prioritisation by impact and feasibility, human-in-the-loop, and a tactical → strategic → transformational maturity path. The approach is platform-agnostic. **What is context engineering, and why does Scenaryo treat it as a core competency?** Context engineering is the discipline of designing the schemas, architecture docs, memory files, and data pipelines that give AI agents accurate, bounded context — instead of relying on model choice alone. Scenaryo positions it as the decisive lever in Agentic Engineering: reliable, scalable agentic systems come from how context is engineered, not from which model is used. **How does Scenaryo verify AI-generated code?** Verification scales with the tier: Vibe Coding has none (explicitly disposable code); Structured AI-Assisted Coding uses manual testing and spot-checks at critical paths; Agentic Engineering uses automated test suites, CI/CD gates, and LM-as-judge review, with agents self-diagnosing failures within defined boundaries. **What does Agentic Engineering cost compared to Vibe Coding?** Vibe Coding is nearly free to start but accumulates token burn, a maintenance tax, and security cleanup over time. Agentic Engineering costs more upfront (schemas, tests, structured context) but delivers an estimated 3–10× lower total cost of ownership per feature once a project passes the crossover point — the longer code has to live in production, the larger the advantage. **How do I contact Scenaryo?** Email info@scenaryo.de. The first step is an open conversation about what you are working on — no standard pitch deck. **Does Scenaryo have a machine-readable interface for AI agents?** Yes — a public MCP server (see "For AI Agents" section above) with tools for listing services, running the Product Team Health Assessment, retrieving company info, and submitting a qualified lead.
