Working principles
The principles we hold ourselves to
Interfaces first
A portal is only as good as the systems behind it, so we check the APIs before we design any screens.
Data has an address
Where personal data is stored and who sees it is settled before the project starts. The two-zone model follows from that.
A model has only been tested once it has been given the chance to fail
Every test set needs wrong, ambiguous and unanswerable questions.
We write down what we don't know
Our proposals list their assumptions, and our papers state what was not shown.
One point of contact
You shouldn't need to know who at Senva works on what in order to get an answer.
