Documentation

README

Forward-Deployed Engineering

Use this bundle when the work is an embedded technical engagement whose success depends on continuity, not merely a recommendation or a code change. This is a normative operating model synthesized from the role observations in source-index.md and from routed specialist methods; the nine-stage sequence is not an externally standardized methodology.

Lifecycle

Discover → Frame → Hypothesize → Build → Evaluate → Deploy → Adopt → Measure → Generalize

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
