EMBEDDED, NOT DETACHED
We sit on your team.
Two to four senior engineers in your standup, your code reviews, your incident channels. Not consultants drafting reports from the outside.

SERVICES / FORWARD DEPLOYED
We build your AI with you.
Two to four senior engineers embed with your team for 2+ months. We design, build, and ship your AI features alongside your engineers.

HOW IT WORKS
Diagnose. Match. Build. Hand off.
- Kickoff
Diagnose
Often Advisory's first-week output — a written architecture audit and signed blueprint. The shape of the work picks the shape of the team we send.
- Week 1
Match and onboard
We send engineers, not resumes. The first commit lands in your repo by day three. Production access by day five.
- Month 1+
Build alongside
Your roadmap, our hands. AI features, integrations, evaluation pipelines, and production operations — shipped weekly. Pair-programming with your senior engineers throughout.
- Handoff
Hand off
Your team owns the code, the evaluations, the operations, and the workflow. Any custom AI tooling we built — simply-shippit, gts, or something specific to your stack — stays wired in. We stay on call as long as you need.
WHAT WE BUILD
Code shipped. Evaluations running. Tooling left behind.
10×
delivery speed (Way2)
Forward Deployed engagements ship the full AI capability — new agent platforms, AI features integrated into your product, evaluation pipelines that gate releases, per-PR preview environments, and AI-enhanced support and operations tools. The output is production code your team owns and tooling that keeps working long after we leave.
5-month roadmap items now ship in 2 weeks. 30 weekly 1:1 mentees. Preview environments in under a day.
- faster than vendor quotes (BWB)
- 4×
- agents in production (Learn to Fly)
- 30+
Regulated tokenization in 4 months. Vendors quoted 12 to 16.
AI mentorship platform built by Shippit. Still ours to maintain.
WHAT GETS DELIVERED
Six artifacts. Every engagement.
Architecture, decided.
RAG vs fine-tune. Agent vs prompt. Model selection. Written, signed.
Eval pipeline, shipped.
LLM-as-judge + regression suite running in CI/CD before we leave.
AI dev workflow, upgraded.
Custom AI tooling fit to your stack — simply-shippit and gts are examples. Spec-driven rituals embedded with your team.
Production ops, wired.
Circuit breakers, rate limits, audit logs, observability. Per-PR preview envs.
Ops surfaces, AI-pre-qualified.
Support, QA, PM workflows AI-touched. Way2 Freshdesk pattern.
Team mentorship, at scale.
Weekly 1:1s across engineers, PMs, QA, support. Way2: 30.
WHY THIS
Three claims staff aug and Big-4 can't make.
SENIOR ONLY
Principal engineers, no bench.
Every Shippit engineer ships production AI for clients with money on the line. No juniors, no bench warmers — the founders pick the team for each engagement.
TOOLING STAYS
We leave tooling, not a deck.
We build the right AI tooling for your team and wire it in. simply-shippit, gts, and the way2-ai-plugin are examples of what that has looked like. The tooling keeps working long after we leave.
BUILT BY
Forward Deployed in production.
Way2 is the flagship Forward Deployed engagement — Shippit's team embedded in a 30-person product org on a regulated Brazilian smart-grid platform. Roadmap items quoted at 5 months ship in 2 weeks. 30 weekly 1:1s. Per-PR preview environments. Pre-qualified support tickets. The way2-ai-plugin centralizes team knowledge — still running after we hand off.
