Devana
Protocol©
A proven methodology for deploying sovereign AI
from exploration to production
Inspired by TRL Framework
Devana Protocol© was born from Devana's research on knowledge and expertise transfer methodologies. Built on the team's academic foundations in research methodology and system engineering, this framework brings systematic structure to AI deployment.
Inspired by the TRL (Technology Readiness Level) methodology developed by NASA in the 1970s and adopted by the European Commission for Horizon Europe programs, Devana Protocol© is Devana's methodological, operational, and quality framework.
From Research to Enterprise-Grade AI Deployment
Devana Protocol© bridges the gap between experimental AI and production-ready systems, ensuring compliance with AI Act, GDPR, and DORA while maintaining the quality standards demanded by critical and regulated infrastructure.
The 4 Phases
From Exploration to Production
Devana Protocol© structures AI deployment through four progressive phases, each with clear deliverables, validation checkpoints, and compliance requirements aligned with AI Act, GDPR, and DORA.
Exploration
Duration: ~1 week
Lay the project foundations: understand the context, identify priority use cases, and validate technical feasibility before committing resources.
Deployment
Duration: ~2 weeks
Prepare the technical ground: deploy Devana on-premises in the client environment so that experimentation starts on real infrastructure, not in a lab.
Experimentation
Duration: ~12 weeks
The heart of the method: confront AI agents with real client data, iterate and refine, and validate performance before any move to production.
Industrialization
Duration: ~8 weeks + 12-month follow-up
Move from validated experimentation to operational reality: progressive rollout, skills transfer to client teams, and long-term performance monitoring.
Compliance & Quality at Every Step
Each phase includes validation checkpoints, compliance documentation (AI Act, GDPR, DORA), and quality audits, ensuring operational excellence and regulatory alignment throughout the entire AI deployment lifecycle.
Compliance process
Devana Protocol© guarantees that every AI deployment meets the highest standards of quality, compliance, and operational responsibility, from initial exploration through production and beyond.
Regulatory Alignment
Built-in compliance with AI Act, GDPR, and DORA at every phase
Quality Assurance
Systematic validation, audits, and documentation throughout
Shared Responsibility
Clear accountability framework between Devana, partners, and clients
The Foundation of Our Partner Program
Devana Protocol© is more than a methodology: it is the certification framework for our partner ecosystem. Technology Integrator partners are trained and certified across the 5 specialized roles required to deliver Devana Protocol© projects with full autonomy.
Key Deliverables
Our compliance processes are complemented by standardized documentation at each key milestone.
