EngineeringForward‑deployed · Production standard

Forward-deployed engineers build each system inside your team, to a standard you can inspect.

Production agents fail in ways a demo hides: lost work, loose access, wrong answers, runaway cost. Each answer below is a practice running in client systems today.

Five questions

  1. 01Will it keep running?
  2. 02Can it touch our systems safely?
  3. 03Does a person stay in control?
  4. 04How do you know it is right?
  5. 05Who watches it after launch?
Who builds itForward-deployed engineers

Engineers work inside your team from the first interview to the monthly review.

  1. Before the build

    Engineers sit with the people who run the workflow and map it step by step.

  2. During the build

    The system is built in your stack, under your access controls, wherever possible.

  3. After launch

    The same engineers run the system and move it to better models as they ship.

The standardFive questions a technical reviewer asks

Question 01 · Will it keep running?

Each step saves its result, so a rerun after a failure redoes only the unfinished work.

  • Calls to models and databases retry on their own before a run fails.
  • Every failure is logged, and reruns never duplicate a record.

Question 02 · Can it touch our systems safely?

Each agent gets only the access its job needs.

  • Clients on our standard setup get their own schema and a scoped database login.
  • Research agents can search the web and nothing else.
Security and data handling

Question 03 · Does a person stay in control?

Agents propose and people decide; no agent emails your customers or moves a deal.

  • Only a person can approve an opportunity an agent finds.
  • Outreach is drafted for a rep to review and send.

Question 04 · How do you know it is right?

Research claims are checked against their sources, and every playbook is checked daily.

  • Claims a cited source does not support are removed before anyone reads them.
  • Users rate what the system produced, and the ratings feed the scoreboard.

Question 05 · Who watches it after launch?

Every live system gets a daily check on what it produced, beyond whether it ran.

  • Every run is traced step by step, and research runs are priced by what they use.
  • Each step runs on a model sized to the job.
