Forward-Deployed Engineering
A project ends and the ground keeps moving. New model versions land, harnesses change, and the measurement that justified a decision quietly stops reflecting reality. Some work has to be continuous.
Named days each month, embedded with your team. We keep the evaluation sets current, absorb the churn from upstream releases, and stay close enough to answer questions before they become incidents.
Start small
Begin on a rolling month with no long commitment to sign.
Continuity
The same engineer stays with your team rather than a rotating bench.
Measured
Outcomes are agreed at the start and reviewed in writing each term.
What keeps moving
model releases, harness updates, your codebase
Your evaluation set
true only while someone tends it
Maintained
decisions stay defensible
Left alone
stops telling the truth
Fit
Who This Is For
Teams who finished an engagement and want the result to hold as everything underneath it keeps changing.
Post-project teams
Groups who finished an engagement and want the gains to hold
Fast-moving stacks
Teams tracking model and harness releases they did not choose
Lean platform groups
Small teams carrying agent infrastructure alongside everything else
Scaling rollouts
Organisations extending agent work from one team to many
Process
How It Works
Agree the capacity
Pick a day count that matches the work in front of you. Start on a rolling month and move to a longer term once the arrangement has proved itself
Embed
We join the channels your team already uses, pick up the context from prior work, and take ownership of the evaluation sets
Run the cycle
Each month brings maintenance on the measurement, work from your backlog, and a check on what upstream releases have changed
Review and adjust
We review capacity, outcomes and whether the arrangement still earns its cost. Adjusting, extending or ending it is straightforward at every review
Deliverables
What You Receive
Reserved capacity
An agreed number of engineering days held for your team each month rather than bid for
Maintained evaluation
Your task sets updated as the codebase, the models and the harnesses move underneath them
Embedded access
Presence in your channels, in your planning, and available for the questions that precede a decision
Regular review
A written assessment of what changed, what it cost and whether the measures still hold
In practice
What an Engagement Looks Like
Three shapes this work usually takes. Scope is agreed before anything starts, and none of these depend on you running a particular vendor.
Maintenance only
Evaluation sets kept current and upstream releases reviewed, with the rest of your backlog left where it is.
Maintenance and backlog
The measurement kept true, plus agreed work from your own queue each month.
Across several teams
One engineer supporting more than one group, with rollout, enablement and a named escalation path.
Pricing
Engagement Options
Start on a rolling month. Longer commitments carry a lower rate, and capacity can move at any review.
Monthly
Rolling, one month minimum
Rolling month, cancel anytime
Try the arrangement without committing a quarter to it. Pick a day count, keep it or stop after a month.
- Evaluation set maintenance
- Upstream release review
- Channel access for questions
- Written review each term
- Priority on new work
Most requested
Quarterly
Three months, reduced rate
Three months, reviewed at the end
The usual shape. Long enough to build context and carry backlog work, at a lower rate than rolling.
- Everything in Monthly
- Backlog work each month
- Harness and memory changes
- Involvement in planning
- Onboarding for new teams
Long Term
Six or twelve months
Named engineer, best rate
For organisations running agent work across several teams who want the same engineer throughout.
- Everything in Quarterly
- Multiple teams supported
- Rollout and enablement
- Governance and policy input
- Named escalation path
Prices exclude VAT where applicable.
People
Who You Work With
Work is delivered by the Superagentic AI team, supported by consultants and researchers brought in on demand when an engagement calls for depth in a specific area. The same lead stays with you from the first call through to handover, so context does not get rebuilt between phases.

Projects Behind This Work
Whatever the engagement covers, it rests on tooling we maintain in the open. You are not buying these tools, and we work in whatever stack you already run.
