Forward-deployed engineering
Getting it running is the hard part.
Most customers install the licence themselves. If you'd rather not, an engineer installs the whole system on your infrastructure in one pass and hands you the keys — no wizards, no setup guides, no YAML.
Why this is the part that stalls.
We're not going to quote you a failure rate. We'll tell you what has to be true instead.
A working install means separate programs, each with its own storage, running behind a private network that only you can reach. It means deciding, connector by connector, that send a message does not quietly also mean delete the channel. It means a memory that has been seeded so your agents wake up knowing your work, and a hardening pass over every permission and every door.
None of that is exotic. It's just a lot of decisions, each of which is quietly load-bearing — and it's the reason so many of these projects end up half-configured on a box somebody stopped logging into. Not because the software was wrong. Because finishing it was never anybody's job.
Here, it's our job.
The deploy
Seven phases. One pass.
Each one is a place a do-it-yourself install stalls.
- 01
Access & users
We log into your server and set up separate, sealed-off accounts — one for the system, one for the product.
Shared accounts are the shortcut that makes everything after it unsafe to undo.
- 02
Foundations
The supporting services — databases, storage, connections — each installed in its own container.
Run them together and one failure takes the whole system with it.
- 03
Modules
Your bundle's modules installed, each running separately with its own storage — one can't take down another.
Every module is its own program with its own store. Wire one wrong and another quietly stops working.
- 04
Networking
Everything sits behind a private network. Reachable by you — and no one else.
This is the step that decides whether your system is private or merely unlisted.
- 05
Seeding
We load your knowledge, warm up its memory, and test every connection — your agents wake up already knowing their shape.
Skip it and you get a system that technically runs and has nothing to say.
- 06
Hardening
A final security check on every permission and every door — and you get the report.
"Send a message" must not also mean "delete the channel." Every connector needs that decided.
- 07
Handoff
You get the keys, the reports, and a running system. We stay on call.
The step most half-finished installs never reach.
Who it's for
Built for people whose time is the bottleneck.
You run it out of chat and email
WhatsApp, Gmail, Slack — wherever the threads live, your agent drafts every reply in your voice and holds them until you say go.
You're the bottleneck
Nothing moves until you look at it. Work continues while the decisions queue up for you — and only you.
You tried building it yourself
It's half-configured on a box you stopped logging into. An engineer finishes it, then hands you the keys.
You're the engineer? Partner instead.
If deploying agent systems for clients is your business, you don't need our install — you need the FDE Delivery Toolkit: Remote Setup, Rules & Approvals, the Operator Inbox, the Local Runtime Bridge, and the Marketplace, under a multi-deployment source licence. You adapt and install for your clients; every client deployment consumes a licence, and volume is scoped on a call.

Questions before the call.
Why can't I just install it myself?
Most people do — the licence is source you run yourself, and technical operators are most of who buys it. This service exists for the rest. It's worth knowing what it covers: separate programs each with their own storage, a private network, per-connector permissions decided one by one, memory seeding, and a hardening pass. That's the work the $5k buys — done once, properly, by someone who has done it before.
What does the install include?
The full seven-step setup on your own server: accounts, foundations, your bundle's modules, private networking, seeding, a security check, and handoff with the report, the system map, and the keys.
What happens after the install?
We stay on call — updates installed for you, tuning as your agents learn your work, and a person who answers when something's off.
What do we need from you?
A server (we'll help you choose one), access to set it up, and your sign-off at handoff. No engineers required on your side.
Can my agency deploy Doppelganger for its clients?
Yes — that's the FDE Delivery Toolkit, under a multi-deployment source licence: you adapt and install for your clients, and every client deployment consumes a licence. Volume is scoped on a call.
What does it cost?
Full deployments start at $5k, scoped on a call. One-time price — the system is yours when we're done.
