01
Discover
Map the current process, owner, volume, friction, systems, data sensitivity, and baseline.
Forward-deployed methods, small-business scope
Forward-deployed AI, sized for a real workflow.
Dapols helps you find one valuable workflow, design the right model-agnostic stack, deploy it with human approval, and measure whether it increased revenue, reduced cost, or mitigated risk.
02
Design
Choose a model-agnostic stack, directional scope, exclusions, approvals, evaluation, and fallback.
03
Deploy
Implement one bounded workflow and compare it with the current process before go-live.
04
Stabilize
Document ownership, monitor the target metric, handle edge cases, and hand over maintainable artifacts.
Where a plan applies
Four areas of your business — and where we stop
Marketing
A website you create with the AI builder and publish yourself — plus AI tools and prompts for content, email, social drafts, and customer replies, matched to your budget.
Not us: running your campaigns or promising leads.
Search & AI visibility
Making your business readable to search engines and AI assistants — structured info, honest pages, the right tools.
Not us: guaranteed rankings; nobody honest sells those.
Automations
Bounded workflows with a named human approver: intake, follow-ups, summaries, document handling.
Not us: autonomous agents over sensitive systems.
Operations
Scheduling, notes, reporting, and back-office busywork moved onto tools that fit how you already work.
Not us: replacing your judgment or your accountant.
Boundaries build trust
What the platform will not pretend to do
- Replace an embedded engineer, or write code inside your existing production apps and internal systems
- Accept credentials or sensitive customer data in a lead form
- Execute high-impact actions without a named human approver
- Promise compliance, security, ROI, or accuracy without validation
- Act as open-ended staff augmentation with no business metric
- Lock the workflow to one model or platform without a reason

What is forward-deployed engineering?
It is a hands-on delivery model in which technical people work closely with a customer to understand a real workflow, adapt technology to its constraints, deploy it, measure it, and leave maintainable artifacts behind.
Does Dapols replace a forward-deployed engineer?
No. Dapols productizes discovery, planning, evidence, workflow tracking, and monitoring for scoped small-business use cases. Complex enterprise systems, novel production code, regulated deployments, and high-risk decisions still need qualified people.
What does Dapols deliver?
Depending on the offer, you receive a ranked workflow, model-agnostic stack, dated price evidence, assumptions, prompts, skills, connectors, approval points, evaluation checklist, deployment steps, and handoff guidance. The one-time setup also includes an AI website builder: it drafts a small site from your answers, which you edit, publish to a hosted link, or export.
When should I not use Dapols?
Do not use it as an autonomous operator for sensitive systems, a substitute for legal or compliance advice, or an open-ended engineering team. Start only when one workflow, owner, baseline, target, systems, and human approval path can be defined.
Which parts of my business can Dapols cover?
Plans cover AI for marketing content, search and AI-assistant visibility, workflow automations, and day-to-day operations — always as recommended tools, prompts, and setup steps you approve — plus a website you create with the AI builder. Dapols does not run your ad campaigns, write code inside your existing production apps or internal systems, or operate anything autonomously; open-ended development is a separate custom engagement, quoted and invoiced directly.
