enterprise-grade agent

An agent built for enterprise use: permissioned, auditable, evaluated, monitored, with fallback paths and human handoffs — not a demo agent in a production slot.
The enterprise-grade agent could not call a write tool without human approval.

agent

An AI system that uses context and tools to perform steps in a workflow under defined constraints, rather than just answering a question.
The agent summarized the case, checked policy, and drafted the response.

ontology-backed workflow

A workflow built on a governed object model so actions, permissions, and context align with the customer's actual business entities — not arbitrary database rows.
The ontology-backed workflow let the agent update an asset, not just a row in a table.

low-code extension

A customer- or field-built extension using low-code configuration wherever possible and code only where necessary.
The low-code extension handled the simple routing rules without another service.

private deployment

A deployment isolated to a specific customer or environment for security, compliance, networking, or data-control reasons.
The bank required a private deployment before testing with production data.

VPC integration

Connecting a deployment to customer or cloud network resources through a controlled virtual private cloud — typically needed when the agent must reach internal APIs not exposed to the internet.
VPC integration was needed so the agent could reach the internal API.

air-gapped deployment

A deployment in an isolated environment with no or tightly controlled external network connectivity — changes how the FDE packages updates, credentials, and model access.
The air-gapped deployment changed how the FDE packaged model updates.

on-prem integration

Connecting a cloud or SaaS deployment to systems running in the customer's own data center or managed infrastructure. Usually requires a gateway or proxy because the systems are not internet-facing.
The on-prem integration required a gateway because the database was not internet-facing.

implementation strategy

The plan for sequencing technical work, customer decisions, risks, rollout, and handoff so implementation reaches production efficiently.
The implementation strategy shipped read-only retrieval first and deferred automation.

AI deployment playbook

A deployment playbook specific to AI systems — covering use-case selection, data access, evals, model behavior, guardrails, monitoring, rollout, and adoption.
The AI deployment playbook required a shadow-mode phase for any write-capable agent.

deployment playbook

A practical guide for repeating a deployment: prerequisites, architecture, steps, blockers, owners, tests, launch plan, and support model. Lets another FDE run the same play without rediscovering everything.
The deployment playbook helped a new FDE launch the same workflow at another account.

deployment pattern

A repeatable way to get a class of customer use cases into production — architecture, rollout, common blockers, support model — documented after the third similar launch.
The FDE documented the deployment pattern after the third similar launch.

reference implementation

A working implementation meant to demonstrate the recommended pattern and give future deployments a tested starting point.
The FDE wrote a reference implementation for the MCP connector.

reusable integration pattern

A repeatable approach for connecting a class of systems — auth, data mapping, error handling, operational checks — documented after the second time it's needed.
The reusable integration pattern covered every customer using the same claims platform.

platform capability

A reusable product or platform function that can be configured or extended for customer needs without becoming bespoke code. FDEs push custom work toward this.
The FDE reused a platform capability for approvals instead of building a one-off queue.

technical artifact

A concrete deliverable — diagram, runbook, eval set, integration spec, launch checklist, code sample — that helps a deployment move forward or be handed off.
The architecture diagram became the technical artifact security needed.

sample code

Small, working code showing the right integration pattern or API usage — not a production implementation, but enough for the customer's engineers to build from.
The sample code showed the customer how to call the approval endpoint.

event-driven integration

An integration pattern where changes in one system emit events that trigger downstream workflows or updates in near real time.
The FDE used event-driven integration so new claims entered the review queue automatically.

data contract

A clear agreement about the schema, semantics, freshness, quality, and ownership of data flowing into a deployment. Without one, the deployment breaks silently when the source changes.
The deployment kept breaking until the FDE wrote a data contract with the warehouse team.

SSO integration

Connecting the deployment to the customer's single sign-on provider so users authenticate through enterprise identity controls. Usually required before the customer adds frontline users.
SSO integration was required before the customer would add frontline users.
