FDE Workspace
The operator console for forward-deployed engineers: land inside a customer’s software estate, map it into the memory graph, curate the edges the engine can’t yet prove on its own, and steer autonomous change against it with a human hand on every consequential decision. Live software estate state and honestly-seeded program records, side by side.
Land
Connect the software estate and get to a real graph. Every step below is computed live from the control plane right now; a checkmark carries the fact it’s reading.
Map
Extraction turns the connected software estate into the Engineering Memory Graph: services, interfaces, datastores, events, and ownership, with a trust split over every edge.
Counts are read live from the graph on every visit: the memory graph as it stands right now, not a snapshot from when the workspace loaded.
Open the graphTune
The review queue: the one place a human writes into the graph. Every candidate and weak edge the engine couldn’t prove on its own, with its full evidence. Confirm what’s real, reject what’s stale; each decision is recorded as evidence and chained into the ledger.
Vocabulary gaps
Blueprints whose impact was matched with less to go on than usual, because words in the requirement answer to nothing in the software estate. Add the missing word to the node it belongs to, as an alias or in its evidence, and the entry clears itself.
Codify
Recurring engagement work becomes reusable product IP: extractors filed against real estate gaps, and repeated change-shapes distilled into a Blueprint template library.

Execute
Steer autonomous change against the mapped software estate: governed runs the FDE dispatches, gates, and seals. The most recent runs, live, with the full timeline one click away.
Scale
What’s learned on one software estate carries to the next: the playbooks that capture how an engagement actually runs, and the FDE’s own notes-in-progress toward product tasks.
