Open FDE PlaybookComing February 2027

Forward deployed engineering, done as an investment

An open playbook and free tools for running a forward deployed engineering team: put engineers in the field to build alongside partners or clients, measure them on outcomes instead of hours, and earn the return that follows. One edition for platform companies, one for consulting firms.

What's coming

A payback model, a go/no-go scorecard, a KPI tree with sample OKRs, and an example dashboard, plus the written playbook. Free to use, copy and change, and easy to make your own.
