Forward Deployment

Workflow Acceleration.

A Forward Deployed Engineer embedded in your team as a managed service. They deliver your priority initiatives, and find and finish the smaller wins along the way.

Asymmetric value from a defined investment.

How it works

Two tracks, one engineer.

An engineer who sits inside your workflows sees opportunities no outside team would. We make sure they deliver the big work and capture the rest.

  • Track 01 · The work you setPriority initiativesThe projects leadership has agreed matter most. Scoped, built and shipped into production on a clear cadence.
  • Track 02 · The work they findSurfaced use casesSmaller opportunities spotted inside day-to-day work, logged, sized and finished, often in days.

The rubric

How every candidate gets decided.

One rubric, three gates, and a reason recorded at each one. Nothing gets built on a hunch, and nothing good gets lost.

~100Candidate use cases
Worth building?

No → Declined or parked. With the reason recorded, so it can be revisited.

Fits the service?

No → Scoped on its own. Too large for the engagement, so it becomes its own statement of work.
