Context
Understand systems, rules, data and constraints. Keep what already works.
AI Deployment Company
AI-accelerated engineering, from business priority to production.
Unlock the technology priority holding your business back.
A Forward Deployed Engineer works inside your business context, defines the path and takes the solution into production. With AI accelerating engineering and outcomes tracked.
For companies already operating, investing in technology and ready to move forward.
Forward Deployed Engineering
Experience to decide. Capability to execute.
Your FDE connects business, product, architecture and operations. They work with your team and bring together the bs3 ecosystem: engineering, tools, AI agents, automation and technical review in service of the agreed outcome.
Execution
Combine software, integrations, infrastructure and AI as the problem requires. Test and deploy with control.
Evidence
Define a baseline, acceptance criteria and measurement window. Document what changed.
Bruno Brandes · Founder & Principal Forward Deployed Engineer. 20 years in technology inform bs3 standards. Each proposal specifies the accountable engineer and review arrangements.
01 / Diagnosis Sprint
In 21 days, a path to unlock your priority.
We investigate one real priority and deliver a basis for deciding which outcome to pursue and how to execute the first phase.
Week 01 · Context
Interviews, selective systems and process analysis, available data and dependencies.
Week 02 · Evidence
Investigate causes and possible paths. A checkpoint with your sponsor and technical leadership.
Week 03 · Decision
Blueprint, 90-day plan, risks and recommendation. An executive session to decide how to proceed.
Clarity to decide. A plan to execute.
Priority diagnosis
Problem, evidence-supported causes, constraints and unverified hypotheses.
Baseline and recommended outcome
Current operation, first-phase outcome and how to track it. Data gaps are explicit.
90-day plan
Prioritized sequence, recommended owners, milestones and dependencies. Your own team can execute it.
First-phase blueprint
Technical path, scope boundaries, timeline and proposed investment.
Decision presentation
Proceed with bs3, execute with your own team or conclude with a reasoned recommendation not to invest.
A clear scope
One priority, one main product or operational context, one main team or supplier and one sponsor. Selective investigation; implementation, fixes, rewrites, penetration testing, certifications and exhaustive audits are separate engagements.
Built with your context
Allow three sponsor hours during the Sprint and one hour per week from your technical contact, plus agreed access. Additional involvement is agreed in advance. NDA before sensitive access; read-only access and controlled environments where needed. Delayed dependencies pause the affected timeline with a recorded revised date.
Delivery guarantee
You buy an answer you can use.
If the diagnosis does not meet agreed criteria, we correct it. If the shortfall remains, we refund your Sprint investment. This guarantee does not depend on purchasing execution.
Guarantee criteria and conditions
Acceptance criteria are attached to the proposal and validated at kickoff: evidence and sources, a baseline or documented gap, an executable plan, blueprint and explicit recommendation, alongside other agreed deliverables.
Notify us in writing of an unmet criterion within five business days of presentation. We provide one correction round at no cost within ten business days of receiving the necessary information.
If the shortfall remains, the amount actually paid is refunded within ten business days and any unpaid final installment is cancelled.
The guarantee assumes agreed access and participation. Documented blockers adjust the affected timeline without cancelling obligations already due. Evident errors discovered after the notification window are also corrected.
A reasoned recommendation not to invest is a valid delivery. Disagreement alone is not a shortfall. The guarantee does not cover future revenue or savings, implementation, third-party approval or deployment outcomes.
02 / FDE Deployment & bs3 Ops
From decision to production.
FDE Deployment
Starting at $2,407/month
The final investment is defined after diagnosis according to the needs of the engagement. The proposal defines outcomes, acceptance criteria, dependencies, milestones and responsibilities. Material changes require agreement before expanding the phase.
bs3 Ops
Monitoring, incidents, costs, governance and ongoing improvement of the deployed foundation. Pricing, responsibilities, service levels and capacity are defined in a separate agreement. Documentation and handover support client autonomy.
USD amounts are indicative conversions for the US market, not independently approved local contractual prices. Based on ECB reference rates dated October 5, 2026. Final currency and terms are confirmed in the proposal. Cloud, licenses, AI providers, third-party infrastructure, any additional taxes, bs3 Ops and subsequent phases are treated separately.
Execution evidence
Different problems. Accountability through production.
Observed result
−96.2%
From days of waiting to hours to publish.
The average cycle fell from more than four days to 4h23. Architecture, automation and quality restored product delivery speed.

- Your business
- A concrete priority
- Diagnosis
- Execution and outcome
We start with a real business consequence. Diagnosis informs the decision; the FDE leads the agreed path through production.
- A live product or operation with real customers or users.
- A blocked priority with concrete consequences.
- A sponsor with budget access and an involved technical contact.
- Available data, people and systems for investigation.
- Budget for diagnosis and, if viable, execution.
Diagnosis may recommend integration, adaptation, custom development or an existing solution. Requests solely for headcount or the lowest hourly rate require a different model.
A clear engagement from the first conversation.

One FDE. The bs3 ecosystem by your side.
The FDE connects your context to bs3 capabilities. Tools, agents, automation and technical review support execution, with one accountable outcome owner.
Why start with diagnosis?
To choose an outcome and path that justify the investment. We investigate your real environment. If the need is already sufficiently defined, we assess the appropriate path together.
We already have a team. How do you work with it?
The FDE works with your leadership and team, leads the agreed initiative and documents decisions and knowledge. Responsibilities and interaction are defined before work starts.
What do we buy when we engage an FDE?
An outcome initiative led by an accountable technical owner and supported by the bs3 execution system. The proposal defines milestones, evidence, interaction and capabilities; it does not imply a headcount or exclusive allocation.
Must the solution include AI?
AI accelerates our engineering. It becomes part of your solution where useful. Integrations, architecture changes or better workflows may also be the right intervention.
Must we purchase execution afterwards?
No. You can execute the plan with your team or another partner. Diagnosis acceptance is independent of the next phase.
When is the final investment defined?
After diagnosis, according to the engagement’s needs. The starting price is a reference; timing, conditions and commitment are confirmed in the proposal.
What if new needs emerge?
The FDE assesses impact and reprioritizes within the agreement. Material changes in outcome, scope, risk or dependencies require approval before expansion.
Next step
Bring a priority. We start with context.
In the initial diagnosis conversation, we discuss the problem with you and your technical contact. A 45-minute conversation, at no cost, to assess whether a diagnosis is a good next step.
Within 48 business hours after the session, you receive a one-page summary of hypotheses, available evidence and what needs investigating.
