Why it matters

Forward Deployed Engineers are the people who actually choose which models and tools run inside client deployments, so their field constraints shape how AI spend gets justified and controlled in practice.

The tokenmaxxing angle

FDEs deploy AI systems directly into government/mission environments where model choice and budget are set case-by-case per client — a concrete look at how routing and spend decisions happen outside typical SaaS pricing.
