Forward-Deployed Engineering

Engineers on the front line, until the system is adopted

Forward-Deployed Engineering is how we deliver. Senior engineers embed with your team and build on real data and real workflows, rather than coding remotely against a spec.

§01PROBLEMS
P-01

Requirements are hard to pin down

Business teams can't spell everything out up front, and traditional outsourcing burns budget on rework.

P-02

Delivery is the finish line

Nobody maintains the system after launch, and it decays as the business changes.

P-03

No in-house AI engineering

A full AI engineering team is hard to hire and expensive to keep.

§02SCOPE
F-01MODULE

On-site or remote embed

Engineers join your stand-ups and workflows to understand problems first-hand.

F-02MODULE

Weekly iterations

A usable release every week, with transparent progress.

F-03MODULE

Platform acceleration

Proven TUNA platform modules, so time goes into what makes your business different.

F-04MODULE

Eval-driven

Eval sets built from real business data, with quality judged by metrics.

F-05MODULE

Knowledge transfer

Docs, code and training handed over in full, so your team can own it.

F-06MODULE

Long-term operations

Ongoing monitoring, optimization and expansion into new use cases.
