FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEERING

Make AI delivery visible, reviewable, and accountable

Busabase is the delivery workspace for Forward Deployed Engineers and AI implementation teams. It makes ownership explicit, shows the work in progress, and lets customers inspect the real data, documents, and apps before accepting the result.

Delivery should not be a black box

Every stage must answer: who owns it, where it stands, and what exists now

An agent saying “done” is not an acceptance test. FDE delivery becomes trustworthy when the owner, scope, current state, evidence, reviewer, and accepted result are visible in one place.

01 · Accountability

Name the owner and acceptance criteria

Tie each workflow to an accountable person, a bounded scope, and a definition of done before the agent starts.

02 · Visible progress

See status, blockers, and the next decision

Follow proposed, in-review, accepted, and operating work without reconstructing the project from chats and meetings.

03 · Inspectable results

Review the work, not the agent's story

Open the actual records, documents, files, diffs, sources, and AirApps. Evidence stays beside the result.

04 · Accepted handoff

Know exactly what the customer accepted

The approved version, reviewer, history, and operating surface remain available after the implementation team leaves.

One workspace, many deliverables

Agent output stops being a pile of files

Research becomes a Doc. Entities and decisions become typed records. Source material stays in Drive. The working method becomes a Skill. A purpose-built interface becomes an AirApp. Everything shares the same customer context and history.

That makes handoff concrete: the customer receives a system they can inspect, operate, extend, and reconnect to another agent later.

What the FDE team can see

One operating view of the engagement

  • Who owns each deliverable and decision
  • What is proposed, blocked, under review, or accepted
  • Which evidence and source material support the result
  • What the customer needs to decide next

What the customer can verify

A handoff grounded in visible results

  • The agreed scope and acceptance criteria
  • The actual data, documents, skills, and applications
  • Who proposed and reviewed each consequential change
  • The exact version that becomes the operating system

Questions FDE teams ask

Is Busabase an AI deployment runtime?

No. Your agents and automations run where you choose. Busabase makes their delivery accountable: shared context, visible progress, inspectable results, review, history, and the operating surface left with the customer.

How does Busabase stop FDE delivery from becoming a black box?

The work is represented as records, documents, files, skills, and apps. Material changes arrive with a diff, source, author, status, reviewer, and decision, so the customer can inspect the result instead of trusting a status update.

Does every agent result require human approval?

No. Gate the writes that carry consequences. Scratch work and caches can stay lightweight; customer facts, published content, decisions, and downstream records deserve explicit acceptance.

What remains after handoff?

The accepted data, documentation, evidence, reusable skills, history, and AirApps remain in the workspace. The customer can operate them and connect another compatible agent later.
