Map — define the standard
Two managers shouldn't disagree on what 'senior' means. Map turns implicit expectations into a validated, plain-text standard that the rest of the suite derives from.
Pathway — derive roles and agents
The compiler for your standard. Feed it a discipline, track, and level and get a complete job definition. Drop the level and get an agent profile instead.
Guide — ask the standard
Career guidance for engineers and second opinions on agent work, grounded in your standard instead of generic best practice.
Landmark — measure without surveillance
Track progress with evidence, trends, and engineer voice instead of ticket counts. Nobody gets singled out.
Summit — staff with evidence
Model the team as a system. See capability coverage, structural risks, and what-if scenarios before you make the staffing decision.
Companions
Outpost
Outpost syncs your email, calendar, and notes into briefings, so you walk into every meeting already oriented.
Kata
An autonomous agent team that runs a daily Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle: it plans specs, ships features, studies its own traces, and acts on what it finds.
Gear
For platform builders: the libraries and services the suite is built from, published to npm. Humans and agents share the same interface and docs.
"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 exactly what's expected, find growth areas with real evidence, and configure agents to the same standard they're measured by. Leaders demonstrate progress and staff teams without blaming individuals or relying 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 what's expected 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 and browse the library catalog:
npx skills add forwardimpact/fit-skills
