Forward-deployed engineering
Engineers sit with the project and apply the tools to the decision in front of the client.
What FDE is
FDE means engineers work inside the client's real working environment. They define the problem with the client, deliver a system that works in the actual process, and turn what they learn on site into capability that can be reused. Palantir's official documentation describes it as a product development method.
Context translation
In cross-border projects the problem is often not the translation but the context: the same sentence carries a different level of commitment on the U.S. side and the Taiwan side. CiphTage is designed to turn engineering, legal, and financial conversations between the U.S. and Taiwan into decisions and risk records that both sides can check.
