FDE // 00Forward deployed engineering · operations · finance · any team

Working software on your data in weeks, not quarters.

trcr embeds engineers with your team, whatever the function. We learn how the work actually gets done, ship production tools on your data, then hand them off or keep them running.

SEC // 01The gap

Your team runs the business on spreadsheets and heroics.

Your systems know what was recorded. They don't know how the work actually gets done.

Internal IT backlogs are measured in quarters. Your targets are measured in months.

Consultants leave slides. We leave software. Ship results, not slides.

SEC // 02How we work

Embedded, on real data, from week one.

01 · WK 0–1

Embed

We sit with the people doing the work, and map the workflows, data and systems as they really are.

02 · WK 1–2

Ship a slice

A working piece of the tool, on your real data, in front of real users.

03 · WK 2–10

Build to the number

We iterate against one agreed metric and its baseline: cost, cycle time, quality or risk coverage.

04 · ONGOING

Hand off or run

Documented, tested and maintainable. Your team owns it, or we keep running it. No black boxes.

SEC // 03Services

Three ways to work with us.

diagnostic

2–3 weeks · fixed fee

A map of your workflows, data and systems, plus a prioritized build plan with ROI.

deploy sprint

6–10 weeks · fixed or capped

One or two high-value workflows live in production, with measured outcomes.

run and extend

monthly · retainer

Ongoing engineering capacity, vantage licensing, support and iteration.

SEC // 04What we build

Tools for the work your systems don't do.

workflow / queuesynthetic data

Internal workflow tools

The process your team runs on, out of spreadsheets and into software.

Data stitched together

One view across the systems and spreadsheets you already use.

Reporting that runs itself

Reports assembled from source data, not rebuilt by hand.

05 · The software

vantage

The software we bring to the work.

vantage is our own software for tracking work, spend and outcomes. Engagements deploy it, extend it, or build next to it, whichever gets the outcome faster.

SEC // 06How we operate

Outcomes over artifacts.

Every engagement names a measurable result and a baseline before we write code.

Ship early, on real data.

You see working software in week one or two.

Build for handoff.

Documented, tested, maintainable by your team.

Your data stays governed.

Least-privilege access, audited writes, and none of your data goes into dev tools or AI prompts without a signed agreement.

SEC // 07About

Built by operators, for the people doing the work.

Over ten years inside operating teams, running processes and the programs that improve them. We have the engineering skills to build the tools we always wished we'd had. We sell the outcome, not the model and not the hours.

What gets measured gets improved.
