Practise the decisions behind a deployment
A forward deployed engineer works with customers to turn a messy workflow into a service they can operate. In each fictional mission, inspect the evidence, choose an approach, and see the consequences.
Balance customer trust, reliability, and a 14-day simulated deadline. Earlier decisions affect later incidents. A successful delivery needs a verified recovery and a rehearsed handoff.
