FDE · Forward Deployment Engineering

Forward-deployed. Real production.

Forward Deployment Engineering is how Meramia delivers: our engineers work inside your team, on your platform, from diagnostic to hand-over. Ten productised offers sit underneath it, from a readiness diagnostic to fine-tuned models, mobile AI and managed AI in production. Get in touch for a direct assessment call.

How we show up

Forward-deployed engineering.

Meramia engineers work inside the client team, on the client platform, from diagnostic to hand-over. Your people keep working in the systems they already use, and the intelligence arrives inside them.

Delivered on the client platform
No parallel environment, no new software for your team to learn. Data remains in region.
Measured on one business metric
Scope and reporting are tied to it, and it is agreed before the first line is written.
Transferred to the client team
Governance, monitoring and hand-over are part of scope.

What we build on

One knowledge graph, three sources.

Documents, systems of record and operating processes are mapped into a single governed graph. Every answer, agent and report traces to its source.

01 · Entry offer

AI Readiness Assessment

A scored view of where AI can pay off, and what's in the way. Data inventory, use-case backlog, PDPL gaps, 90-day roadmap.

  • In: a short, closed diagnostic — not Operate, not a graph build, not a model project.
  • Out: data & infrastructure inventory; scored use-case backlog; PDPL gap analysis; board-ready 90-day roadmap.
  • Next is optional. The report is yours.
02 · Core

GenAI Quick-Wins

High-ROI where GenAI already works: content engines, service copilots, conversational analytics. Scoped, built, handed over.

03 · Core

Agentic AI & Copilots

Production agents that take real actions across your tools — with guardrails, observability and human-in-the-loop.

What an agent engagement contains

04 · Compliance wedge

AI Governance & PDPL

Policy, risk and PDPL alignment to the UAE AI Charter — so you can ship AI without slowing legal down.

05 · Models

Model Fine-Tuning

Frontier and open models tuned on your data, eval-gated before they ship, self-hosted where the economics win.

06 · Foundation

Knowledge Graph Foundation

Entities, relationships and the ontology that holds them steady — built from your documents, your systems of record and the processes your people actually follow.

Retrieval matches text that looks similar. A graph follows named relationships between real records, so every answer carries the path it took. Check the path, then let the agent act.

07 · Managed AI in production

Fractional CTO & Architecture

Senior technology leadership without a full-time hire: architecture, hiring, roadmap and delivery — and the managed retainer that keeps production AI running.

08 · Data platform

Data Foundations & Pipelines

Ingestion, quality controls and permissioned access — the engineering that keeps the graph and every model fed with current data.

09 · Mobile

AI Mobile Applications

AI-native iOS and Android: field capture syncs to the graph; intelligence feeds back. Offline-first, PDPL-aligned.

10 · Enablement

AI-Literacy Training

Practical enablement for leadership and teams — prompting, safe usage, workflow redesign.

Inside offer 03 · Agentic AI & Copilots

Knowledge, tools, guardrails, operate.

Knowledge

Pipelines, knowledge graphs and governed retrieval — the substrate that makes agents and copilots reliable on your data.

Tools

Task and workflow agents with memory and orchestration that hold up in production — real actions across your tools.

Guardrails

Safety, evaluation, human approval gates, and PDPL / UAE AI Charter controls built into the work, not bolted on at the end.

Operate

Trace every action, cost and outcome. The absorption layer: monitored production, then fractional CTO and managed retainers.

Not sure which to start with?

It begins with a thirty-minute call. Most clients then start with the Assessment, which kills the projects that would not have worked and scores the ones that will.
