How we work
From your ambition to a working solution.
Corvendor works with you to develop data and software solutions for important business decisions. We clarify the goal, combine data with your teams' knowledge, and put a suitable solution into your existing workflows. Together, we assess what it improves.
Four steps that build on each other.
You do not need a finished specification. We begin with a clear goal and a manageable first scope. Together, we use a working pilot to review what works and identify which requirements need further clarification.
Clarify the goal and first scope
We discuss your ambition, the current workflow, and the relevant experts and decision-makers. Together, we choose a useful starting scope and agree on how to recognize improvement.
The outcome: A shared goal, a manageable first scope, and clear success criteria.
Connect data with domain knowledge
We review the available information and how your experts make decisions. We use that understanding to develop suitable rules or models, making missing data, assumptions, and limitations explicit.
The outcome: A clear basis for deciding which solution is useful and can be evaluated.
Build and test a pilot
Corvendor develops a pilot: a limited working solution, such as a prioritized list, a portal, or an interface. Your experts and I review representative cases to test important assumptions and establish where data, rules, or workflows need to change. We agree on the scope and test environment before testing; preparation for regular operation follows in the next step.
The outcome: A tested pilot and documented findings that inform further implementation.
Move into regular use and improve
We assess the results and decide together whether to adjust, proceed, or stop pursuing the project in its current form. If we proceed, we work with the relevant teams on the required integration, access, testing, and handover. In regular use, we assess the impact against the agreed criteria and include user feedback. These findings guide further improvements.
The outcome: If the project continues: a solution in its agreed operational setting and a basis for further improvement.
This is not a rigid sequence. Testing may reveal the need for better data, different rules, or a more precise goal.
Built around your operation. Together with your teams.
A solution needs to fit the decisions, teams, and systems already in place. We adapt the business logic, data, integration, and success criteria to your situation.
- Your contribution
- You bring the goal and knowledge of your business. Your experts explain rules and exceptions, help interpret the data, and assess the solution in everyday use.
- My contribution
- I translate the ambition into testable requirements, develop the technical solution, and coordinate implementation with the relevant business departments and IT. When specialists are needed, I coordinate their contributions.
- Shared decisions
- We agree on the scope and success criteria. We use the results to decide together on adjustments and further steps. We document the relevant data, rules, and assumptions so your experts can check the results and assess the solution in everyday use.
I’m Reiner Rübel. You work directly with me; I take personal responsibility for your project and bring in specialists when needed.
More about meAn example in practice
Making campaign results more predictable.
For marketing campaign planning, Corvendor developed a solution to estimate the expected number of qualified leads and sales pipeline from budget and target-customer selection.
This supported two planning questions: What results should we expect from a given budget and customer list? And what combination of budget and target selection is needed for a desired pipeline target? Exceptionally high pipeline outcomes remained a limit to the forecasts.
Read the full project exampleWhen this is a good fit.
- You see a concrete opportunity to improve an existing business process.
- You want someone to develop the solution with you and put it into use.
- Experts in your organization can contribute their knowledge and assess the results.
- You want to begin with a useful first scope and let the results guide further decisions.
When another approach may fit better.
- You only need a ready-made standard product.
- Your main requirement is a large, permanent outsourced development department.
- There is currently no access to domain expertise and no way to evaluate a solution in the process.
Incomplete data or open questions do not rule out a conversation. We can clarify together whether there is a useful way to begin.
Questions before the first conversation.
No. For the first conversation, bring your ambition, an outline of the current workflow, and what you would like to improve. We can then establish which data and preparation the particular project will need.
I need contacts who can answer domain questions, help with data, and assess how the solution will be used. They help explain decisions and exceptions and review the working result. We agree on the involvement needed for the first scope; a standard number of hours would be premature.
That is the starting point. We review the available data access and interfaces and choose a suitable way to integrate the solution. What is possible and what needs to change depend on your systems and requirements.
We first clarify the goal, available data, and integration requirements. This provides the basis for a defined first project scope, schedule, and cost. A technical solution may be ready for evaluation before there is enough evidence to assess its business impact reliably.
We review the results and assumptions. Together, we decide whether to adjust the solution, gather more information, or stop pursuing the project in its current form. Moving to the next stage is not an automatic commitment.
No. Depending on the task, understandable rules or statistical models may be sufficient. AI is an option where it can make a useful contribution to the specific workflow.
