Studio

How the studio is organised

S12V Labs is a small studio. The work is organised by practice rather than by department: each practice is a set of skills, tools and habits that a project draws on, and the engineer who scopes a project leads it from the first call to the handover.

Agents and language models

Agents that read, classify, draft and act inside the tools a company already runs, with a person in the loop until the numbers say otherwise.

  • Prompting, tool use and retrieval
  • Shadow mode before go-live
  • Action logs and permission ladders
  • Cost and latency budgets

Where it shows

Engraved plate of a counting house: clerks pass documents to a small clockwork automaton that stamps them, while one clerk checks its output against a ledger.

Product engineering

Web and mobile apps, APIs and the platforms behind them, delivered as a working build every week from the second week on.

  • TypeScript, React and Node
  • Native iOS and Android where it matters
  • Postgres, Cloudflare and AWS
  • Integrations with POS, CRM and billing systems

Where it shows

Engraved plate of an architects' drawing office: drafting tables, rolled plans and a model of a building being measured with dividers.

Telecom and messaging

SMS, voice and messaging platforms: carrier integrations, number pools, routing, and classification that keeps up with the line rate.

  • Carrier and aggregator APIs
  • Routing and number management
  • Inline classifiers with a millisecond budget
  • Deliverability and compliance

Where it shows

Engraved plate of a telegraph office: operators at keys along a counter, wires leaving through a tall window, a rack of sorted message slips.

Wearables and health data

Medical-grade sensor data from the device to the dashboard: sync through phones that want to sleep, signal quality, personal baselines, consent and access logs.

  • Bluetooth sync and background modes
  • HRV, resting heart rate and sleep analytics
  • Consent records and audit trails
  • Clinician and coach dashboards

Where it shows

Engraved plate of a small workshop where instrument makers assemble a wearable heart-rate device at a long bench while one reads a chart.

Evaluation and data

The practice that puts a number on an AI feature before it is built, and keeps measuring it after launch.

  • Evaluation sets from real cases
  • Labelling with the people who do the job
  • Regression runs on every change
  • Monitoring and drift reports

Where it shows

Engraved plate of a weighing room: a person weighing small objects on a balance beside shelves of labelled jars, another writing columns of numbers.

Design

Interfaces for people with a job to finish: plain words, few screens, and the same hand that draws the figures in the articles.

  • Interface and interaction design
  • Copy as part of the design
  • Accessibility checked, not assumed
  • Figures, diagrams and sharing images

Where it shows

Engraved plate of an engraver's studio: a person at a slanted desk laying out a page with rule and compass, proof sheets pinned to the wall.
