FDE
Walk into the field until it runs.
We do not default to a remote advise–build–throw pipeline. Complex agent systems need people on site who can see the constraints, then embed the stack.
FDE comes from putting software inside high-complexity institutions: you cannot guess the permission matrix, the tacit workflow or the political boundary from a conference room. Someone has to stand next to the operation and wire the system in, piece by piece.
For us that means engineers own the outcome. Engagements may be fixed-scope or monthly advisory, contracted in Hong Kong dollars. The working model stays embedded.
Four movements
01
Arrive
Align on aims, risk and the definition of done. Inventory systems, data, permissions and the actual pain. Week one should name the first workflow to ship.
02
Build together
Develop in your environment. Short iterations, demonstrable, reversible. Agents, knowledge, data and security move on the same path to production.
03
Go live
Canaries, observability, incident plans. Launch is not demo day. It is the day the system takes real traffic and real responsibility.
04
Hand over
Docs, training, monitoring and the on-call rhythm in place. We can remain on operations, or hand back the keys.
When to call us
The pilot is stuck on a demo
The model runs; the workflow does not. Permissions, knowledge and exceptions have the project pinned.
You need production, not another proof of concept
The direction is known. What you lack are people who can embed the agent stack in the systems you already have.
Security and compliance have to travel with the work
You cannot launch first and govern later.
What we usually decline
- Strategy decks with no engineering scope.
- A generic chatbot meant to replace the need to change how work is done.
- Engagements without the access, data samples or counterparties required to ship.
