Map — define the standard
Two managers must not disagree on what 'senior' means. Map turns implicit expectations into a validated, plain-text standard. The rest of the suite derives from that standard.
Pathway — derive roles and agents
Pathway compiles your standard. Feed it a discipline, a track, and a level to get a complete job definition. Drop the level to get an agent profile instead.
Guide — ask the standard
Guide gives engineers career guidance and second opinions on agent work. It grounds both in your standard rather than generic best practice.
Landmark — measure without surveillance
Track progress with evidence, trends, and engineer voice rather than ticket counts. Landmark does not single out any person.
Summit — staff with evidence
Model the team as a system. See capability coverage, structural risks, and what-if scenarios before you decide how to staff.
Companions
Outpost
Outpost syncs your email, calendar, and notes into briefings. You then walk into every meeting already oriented.
Gear
Platform builders get the libraries and services that compose the suite. Forward Impact publishes them to npm. Humans and agents share the same interface and docs.
Sibling projects
Four standards and products grew out of this work. Each one is independent and has its own site. Monorepo is the repository structure standard. Jidoka is the instruction architecture standard that builds on it. Gemba is the agent-runtime platform. Kata is an agent team that runs on Gemba and follows both standards. Read them at monorepo.team, jidoka.team, gemba.team, and kata.team.
"The aim of leadership should be to improve the performance of man and machine, to improve quality, to increase output, and simultaneously to bring pride of workmanship to people."
— W. Edwards Deming
Forward Impact Engineering puts this into practice. Engineering leaders define what great engineering looks like. Engineers see the exact expectations. They find growth areas with real evidence. They configure agents to the same standard that measures them.
Leaders demonstrate progress and staff teams. They do not blame individuals. They do not rely on guesswork. When expectations are clear and progress is visible, engineers deliver with confidence and pride.
Get Started
For Engineering Leaders
Define your engineering standard and publish it for the whole organization:
npx fit-map init
npx fit-pathway build --url=https://pathway.myorg.com
For Empowered Engineers
See the expectations at your level. Then generate an agent profile from the same standard:
npx fit-pathway skill --list
npx fit-pathway agent software-engineering --track=platform
For Platform Builders
Install the shared skill pack. Then browse the library catalog:
apm install forwardimpact/fit-skills
