Forward Deployed Engineering

Engineers who own the outcome, not the ticket.

A Forward Deployed Engineer works inside your business, learns the real process from the people who run it, ships agents inside the systems you already use, and stays accountable until the numbers move. Behind every FDE is the Farm.

Operator

Understands how the business actually runs

Engineer

Ships production code with audit and security

AI specialist

Owns evals, harnesses, rollbacks and model choice

Three jobs in one person. That is the role.

Why most AI projects stall, and how this one won't.

The demo worked. Production didn't.

We set the baseline and the eval set in the first weeks, so the bar for production is known before the build starts.

Nobody understood the real process.

The documented process is rarely the real one. FDEs watch the work in your systems until we understand your department better than the org chart does.

It meant replacing the CRM.

We build inside the systems you already run. Approvals arrive where your team already works.

Everything started from scratch.

We start on platforms we already run in production, from dealer data to MCP servers.

Every step goes in one of four buckets.

AI is not a coat of paint. We re-engineer the work first, and only then decide what an agent should do.

Delete

Steps that exist only because the old system needed them. The cheapest automation is removal.

Code

Deterministic rules: routing, validation, sync. Plain software, no model needed.

Agent

Steps that need judgment over messy input: reading, drafting, matching, qualifying.

Human

Decisions that carry money or trust: pricing, payments, signatures, negotiation.

Baseline before we build. Measure after.

01Weeks 1 to 4

Discover

Interviews with the people who do the work, then agents watch the real process in your systems. We baseline it, sort every step into delete, code, agent or human, and prove the hard parts with working prototypes.

Deploy

The pod and the Farm build inside your systems of record. Approvals land where your team already works. Every change ships with evidence.

  • ✓Weekly working builds
  • ✓Integrations + data
  • ✓Evals that gate release
  • ✓Production cutover

Measure

Results against the baseline, in the same units we measured on day one. Then the Farm keeps improving what is live, and we deploy the pattern to the next team.

  • ✓Signed-off scorecard
  • ✓Live evals
  • ✓Continuous improvement
  • ✓Usage reporting

We build inside your systems of record.

Agents read and write where your people already work. Nobody migrates a CRM to get value from AI.
