Forward-deployed AI engineers
Agents that take real actions, built inside your company, approved by your auditor.
Our engineers come into your company and build AI agents that clean up cloud resources, change infrastructure and handle back-office work. Every action needs independent sign-off and leaves a receipt anyone can check.

Mapped to SOC 2 change management · verifiable by anyone
Your team wants agents that act. Two things stop it.
Nobody can prove the approval was real
Most “multi-agent review” is one process wearing several hats. When an auditor or a post-incident review asks who independently approved a change, there’s no answer you can prove.
Nobody inside has done it before
Wiring agents into real systems with the right permissions, reviewers and evidence takes senior engineers who’ve run agents in production. That’s us.
Gated Agent Deployment · how it works
From “we should use agents” to agents in production, in eight weeks.
Weeks 1–2
Pick the jobs
Choose 1–2 jobs worth automating. Map the permissions each agent needs, and nothing more.
Weeks 3–5
Build and gate
Build the agents. Set the rules: an author, a reviewer on a different model, and a person’s passkey for production.
Week 6
Test the reviewers
Plant mistakes and check the reviewers catch them, so approvals mean something.
Weeks 7–8
Go live
Hand over the runbook and an evidence pack mapped to the controls your auditor tests.
Typical first agents: cloud cleanup and rightsizing, Terraform plan and apply, infrastructure pull requests, back-office steps with a maker-checker rule.
The offer
Fixed scope, fixed price.
Built on Seconded, our platform for separation of duties between AI agents. It stays after we leave, so your controls keep working.

77 fake passes
A QA agent signed 77 passes in a row while unable to run a single test.
One process, three roles
One process signed as author, reviewer and QA, and got merged.
69% from one model
Most QA came from one model family, so “independent” wasn’t.
Every one of those failures is now a rule we build into client deployments. Try forging an approval yourself at seconded.dev.
Who you work with
Engineers who’ve built and run agents in production.
Joey Stevens, founder
12 years in infrastructure across AWS, Azure and GCP. Led SRE for an AI agent platform. Cut a ~$1M/yr cloud bill by 26% at a former employer.
Steve Wieland, partner
A decade automating a large government institution’s operations. Mapped AI costs and cut cloud spend at an AI agent platform.
Questions we get
Do we have to use your platform?
The gating runs on Seconded, and its verifier is open source, so anyone can check the records without trusting us. If you stop subscribing, your records stay verifiable.
Which agent frameworks and models do you work with?
We’re model-neutral. The reviewer is deliberately on a different model from the author, and we plug in the tools you already use.
What access do your engineers need?
Read-only first, scoped per agent after that. We design the permissions in weeks 1–2 and you approve them before anything is built.
What if we start with cost, not agents?
Most clients do. Our cloud and AI cost work finds the savings that pay for the agent work.
