Prioritise time-to-value
The perfect architecture has never fed anyone.
Fundamental #4 of Forward Deployed Engineering: prioritise time-to-value. First a solution that delivers measurable value quickly — then, industrialisation.
The sequence: value first, industrialisation later
The FDE sequence: problem → prototype within days → first solution in production → generalisation. We look for value before technical perfection, because delivered value funds and steers what comes next.
Conversely, a project that starts with the target architecture takes months before anyone touches a result — and discovers too late that it was aimed off-target.
A POC on your data, not a mock-up
This is exactly our deployment model: a free POC on 10 real recipes, yours. Within days, you see your data in the platform, your Nutri-Score recomputed, your ingredient lists generated.
Not a generic mock-up: your product, with your constraints, from the start.
The end of 18-month projects
18-month PLM projects belong to another era — the one where AI did not do data migration. When sheet migration and ingredient matching are automated, the time to first value collapses.
That is the shift crumble-ai exploits: value in days, industrialisation when it is justified.
