When the blocker isn't one decision, it's getting anything live at all.

Hetu Deployment embeds forward-deployed engineers to unblock AI adoption when the problem is broader than verifying one decision — legacy systems nobody fully understands, workflows that won't survive compliance, or no in-house team that has shipped an agentic system before. Looking for a specific decision verified instead? See Consulting.

Why this is a separate practice

The engagements point somewhere. That's the difference.

Generic AI delivery firms ship the system and move on. Every Deployment engagement we run also asks one more question: was this hard adoption problem actually a decision-verification problem in disguise? When it is, it becomes a candidate for a new Vertical Verification Pack — this practice doubles as the discovery engine for where Hetu's product line expands next.

Engagement packages

Three ways to embed FDEs against what's actually blocking production.

AI Adoption Sprint

$25K · 3 weeks

An FDE pair spends three weeks inside your stack — legacy systems, existing agent pilots, data estate — and comes back with a prioritised map of what's actually blocking production, not a slide about "AI strategy."

Deliverable: a scoped backlog of adoption blockers, ranked by effort and by whether they're decision-verification problems in disguise.

Embedded FDE Pod

from $50K/mo

A standing embedded team — 2 to 4 FDEs — building, changing and running whatever's on the backlog: legacy modernisation, a bespoke agentic workflow, an internal tool nobody else will own.

Deliverable: shipped systems, on a cadence, plus a running log of which of them turned out to be decision-verification work.

Modernisation Program

custom

Multi-quarter, multi-team engagements — the SAP-migration, mainframe-rewrite scale of problem — usually co-sold through a systems integrator or a Big Four partner.

Scoped like a Sprint first. We don't sell the multi-quarter version cold.

Deliberately a different brand surface from Consulting — the two are different jobs, sold to different buyers, staffed by FDEs from two different Academy tracks. Don't confuse "we'll verify this one decision" with "we'll rebuild your claims system," because your buyer won't either.

Bring the mess. We'll tell you which parts of it are actually decisions.

We start with an Adoption Sprint: what's blocking you, what it costs to fix, and which of it should really be a Consulting engagement instead.
