Sparring
Sparring Platform · the organisation layer

See the whole organisation's conversation capability. Govern how it's measured.

Practice and Arena generate evidence. Platform turns it into something a leadership team can act on — and gives IT, security and HR the controls they will ask for before anyone signs.

What Platform adds

Every control below is live today unless marked.

Organisation dashboards

Skill heatmaps by team and role, trends over time, completion, weakest areas, average stars. Human and agent results side by side.

SSO, roles, invites

Google Workspace sign-in, domain auto-join, invite links with role. Owner / admin / manager / learner. Microsoft Entra on request.

Data residency

Standard channel, or GCP-resident inference via Vertex AI per tenant. Hosting in asia-east1 by default; EU and US regions on request.

Retention you set

Per-organisation retention (default 365 days). Nightly sweep deletes sessions and debriefs past the window; usage and audit records are kept.

Delivery & webhooks

Debriefs by email or to Slack, Teams and Feishu. Safety-protocol notifications to a designated contact — without transcript content.

Audit log

Who invited whom, who changed a setting, who exported what. Exportable.

API & CLI

Everything the UI does is an authenticated API. Org API keys with scoped roles; the Arena CLI for CI.

Private content

Studio scenarios and uploaded material stay in the tenant; never used to improve shared content or models.

Usage controls

Monthly session allowance per organisation; per-user rate limits; cost ledger for your own reconciliation.

For HR & L&D

Practice, not surveillance.

Platform ships with a transparency setting that controls what managers see, and every learner is told on every briefing. Our Acceptable Use Policy forbids using practice scores for hiring, firing or compensation.

  • Team-level data by default; individual debriefs only per policy
  • Learners see what managers can see — on screen, every time
  • Learners can delete their own sessions
  • Safety protocol notifies a designated contact, never with content
For IT & security

Boring to approve.

Single-tenant data model with organisation-scoped rows, encrypted transport, least-privilege infrastructure on Google Cloud, and a published sub-processor list. Procurement through Google Cloud Marketplace means one vendor you already have.

  • Google Cloud (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Secret Manager); region options
  • SSO; no passwords stored
  • Rate limiting, CSRF protection, input limits, usage caps
  • Sub-processor list, DPA with SCCs, security disclosure channel
  • SOC 2 Type I planned for H1 2027

Who buys Platform

Platform is a yearly tier that sits on top of Practice and/or Arena usage.

Multi-team rollouts

More than one team, or more than one country. You need the heatmap and the roles.

Regulated industries

Finance, healthcare, public sector. You need residency, retention control and the audit log.

Agent programmes

You ship conversational agents and want the same evidence standard for people and bots, with gates in CI.

We scope it with you: teams, regions, SSO, residency, retention — and the Marketplace private offer to match.
