Ten things to inspect before you trust a forward deployed engineering training program.

ASKHow many modules, hours, and rubric criteria are actually published, and are the counts derived from source or typed into marketing copy?

HEREThe formation page lists the exact module, lab, room, and gate counts behind every seat on the ladder, computed from this repository's own curriculum data. See formation at scale.

ASKIs a learner scored against a published rubric, or self-graded on a quiz with no independent check?

HEREThe proof page walks the assessment method, the artifact review pipeline, and the public credential record end to end. Read the product proof.

ASKAre the labs real executable scenarios, and which ones close progress versus practice only?

HEREThe lab catalog names every environment, states plainly which close a capability graph node and which are practice only, and shows the rubric that scores each one. See the lab environments.

ASKWhat stops an unsafe or non-compliant artifact from passing review, and is that rule published or informal?

HEREThe qualification constitution publishes ten conjunctive gates, so strength in one domain cannot average away an unsafe failure in another. Read the qualification standard.

ASKDoes anyone earn a credential before doing real, supervised client work, and who is named as the supervisor and the owner of the outcome?

HEREThe formation runway names the supervised residency and independent defense a candidate must pass; no supervised field work has run, because it only activates inside a signed client engagement. Walk the formation runway.

ASKCan the program plan pod composition, seat mix, and a ladder of engineers at delivery scale, or is staffing an afterthought bolted onto a course?

HEREProgram administrators compose pods against the construct's rules and read seat supply from the recorded practice ladder in the Pod Composer inside the authenticated workspace. The public construct pages are authored data. See how pods are staffed.

ASKCan the program actually run a cohort today, roster and all, or is it a plan someone edits by hand?

HEREFormation programs, the Mission Operations Board, the practice ladder, and the bench-plan generator are administrator tooling usable today. No cohort has yet run on this property, and organization roster growth is not yet open. See a bench plan.

ASKDoes the credential depend on one model vendor, or can it be exercised against more than one provider?

HEREEvery gate in the qualification constitution carries a stated portability check, published before any instrument is exercised across providers. Check the portability gate.

ASKDoes the program label what is live, what is manual, and what is not active yet for every capability it claims, or does it just assert maturity?

HEREThe FDE proof room states an explicit live, manual, or not-active status for every capability in its proof chain; this page uses the identical discipline. Open the FDE proof room.

ASKIs the product surface accessible and consistent, or does the design system live only in a slide deck?

HEREThe accessibility statement names the target, what is in place today, and the specific limitations not yet closed, rather than an unverified compliance claim. Read the accessibility statement.
