AI Implementation That Actually Works

Most AI initiatives fail not because the technology isn't ready, but because organizations lack specialized expertise to integrate AI into existing systems.

The Problem

Traditional Consulting Fails

Consultants deliver recommendations and leave. You're left with documents, not working systems.

Expertise Gap

Internal teams lack specialized AI engineering skills needed for production deployment.

Integration Complexity

Real enterprise environments are messy. Legacy systems, compliance requirements, and organizational constraints kill most AI projects.

Our Solution

Embedded Implementation

Our engineers become temporary members of your team, writing code and deploying systems alongside your staff.

Guaranteed Deployment

We don't leave until your AI system is running successfully in production with measurable business impact.

Knowledge Transfer

Your team becomes self-sufficient through hands-on collaboration, documentation, and training.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Forward Deployed Engineering.

What exactly is the FDE Service?

The FDE Service provides dedicated AI engineers who work on-site (or virtually) within your organization for 3-12 month engagements. These engineers become temporary members of your team, implementing AI solutions while training your internal staff. Think of it as "AI engineering as a service" with embedded expertise.

How is this different from traditional consulting?

Traditional consulting delivers recommendations and documentation. FDE delivers working production systems. Our engineers write code, deploy infrastructure, and ensure your AI solutions are running successfully in production before they leave. It's implementation-first, not advice-first.

What types of AI projects does FDE handle?

We focus on high-impact, production-ready AI implementations: predictive analytics systems, document processing automation, recommendation engines, computer vision applications, natural language processing solutions, and AI-powered decision support systems. We don't do research or experimental AI.

How is the service priced?

Hybrid pricing model: Base monthly fee for engineer time + success bonus tied to defined business outcomes (accuracy improvements, cost savings, revenue impact, etc.). Typical total project cost: $200K-$800K depending on scope and duration.

What guarantees do you provide?

We guarantee production deployment of a working AI system that meets agreed-upon performance metrics. If we don't deliver, you don't pay the success bonus. We also provide 90-day post-deployment support included in every engagement.

Do you work with our existing data and systems?

Yes, that's our specialty. FDE engineers excel at working with messy, real-world enterprise data and legacy systems. We don't require you to change your infrastructure - we adapt AI solutions to work with what you have.

How do you ensure our team can maintain the solution after you leave?

Knowledge transfer is built into every engagement. Your team members are involved throughout development. We provide comprehensive documentation, training sessions, and operational runbooks. The goal is for your team to be self-sufficient at handoff.

What's the typical process to get started?

1) Initial consultation call (30 minutes), 2) Discovery workshop (half-day on-site), 3) Proposal with timeline and success metrics (1 week), 4) Contract and team assignment (1 week), 5) Project kickoff. Total time from first contact to starting work: 3-4 weeks.
