Inside a 14-Day Staging Prototype: What an Embedded FDE Actually Ships in Week One

When Scarpian engineers embed into a client company, we don't bring slides or high-level strategic questionnaires. We ask for read-only staging access, Git repositories, and an API schema documentation dump.

1. Day 1 to 7: The Operational Infiltration

During the first 7 days, our Forward Deployed Engineers isolate the single most expensive manual workflow in your company. We trace every database call, interview the actual operational staff doing the work, and map the failure modes.

$ scarpian-fde sprint --phase staging-prototype --day 14
[STATUS] Environment: staging-isolated-vpc
[CONNECT] Read-only replica connected to PostgreSQL & SAP
[AGENT RUN] 500 historical test cases replayed autonomously
[ACCURACY] 498/500 passed | 2 edge-cases quarantined for human review

2. Day 14: The Production Proof

By Day 14, leadership sits down in front of a live staging environment. They watch real transactions flow through the system with strict guardrails, zero hallucinations, and sub-second execution speeds. Trust is earned through running code, not promises.
