What Outpost is
A senior engineer embedded in your team.
We work in your codebase and use the tools you already have. Your team gets one clear place to see what was tested, what is controlled, who approved the launch, and what still needs attention.

The engagement
From working demo to a launch your team can stand behind.
One embedded engineer owns the work alongside your team. Each phase ends with something concrete you keep.
- 01Weeks 1–2
Agree what safe enough means
Map what the agent can do, where mistakes matter, who approves important actions, and what must be true before launch.
You keep
A written release plan with clear owners and pass-or-fail tests.
- 02Weeks 3–6
Test it and add controls
Build repeatable tests, limit access to tools and data, add human approval where needed, and practise failure and recovery paths.
You keep
Automated checks, safer permissions, fallbacks, and a record reviewers can follow.
- 03Launch + 90 days
Release, watch, and hand over
Support the launch, track real failures, turn each lesson into a permanent test, and transfer ownership to your team.
You keep
A live operating routine and a system your team can continue without us.
Strong fit
For teams with a real agent and a real deadline.
You have a working agent—not just an idea—and want to launch within 90 days.
The agent can take actions or use data where mistakes have a real cost.
One person in your team owns the decision to launch.
You need experienced help, but are not ready to hire a full-time AI reliability lead.
