# ADR-007: Forward-Deployed Engagement Convention
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** accepted
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-07-16
|
||||
**Deciders:** kaizen-agentic maintainers (supplier)
|
||||
**Workplan:** KAIZEN-WP-0009
|
||||
**Supersedes for staffing model:** none (complements ADR-006)
|
||||
**Prior working defaults:** [DEC-FDA-001](../decisions/DEC-FDA-001-working-defaults.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
kaizen-agentic evolved from installing coding personas into repos into an
|
||||
**agentic consulting / forward-deployed agency**: clients request a **Role**,
|
||||
receive a bound agent definition, and run engagements with ramp-up / operate /
|
||||
ramp-down while keeping operational knowledge **client-confidential**.
|
||||
|
||||
ADR-006 covers **improvement-loop** customer repos (rosters, activity-core
|
||||
cadence). It does not define:
|
||||
|
||||
- Role product packages
|
||||
- Engagement lifecycle and checklists
|
||||
- Client vault custody vs supplier craft
|
||||
- Trial currency (Kai) settlement files
|
||||
- Host/operator-style Targets (not only git repos)
|
||||
|
||||
The railiance01 host-operator pilot (KAIZEN-WP-0009) proved a file-based Phase 1
|
||||
path. We lock the convention so the next engagement does not re-invent structure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Two engagement kinds (both valid)
|
||||
|
||||
| Kind | Primary artifact | ADR |
|
||||
|------|------------------|-----|
|
||||
| **Loop engagement** | Customer loop repo + fleet `.kaizen/schedule.yml` | ADR-006 |
|
||||
| **Staffed Role engagement** | `engagements/` tree + bound agent + vault | **this ADR** |
|
||||
|
||||
A client may run both. They share CLI primitives, confidentiality principles,
|
||||
and metrics habits, but different primary trees.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Ownership planes
|
||||
|
||||
| Plane | Owner | Contents |
|
||||
|-------|-------|----------|
|
||||
| Role package | Supplier (`roles/<role-id>/`) | Prompt craft, protocols, ramp checklists, billing hints |
|
||||
| Engagement record + bound definition | Client custody (pilot may live under supplier `engagements/pilots/` until exported) | Targets, phase, policy, schedule |
|
||||
| Engagement vault | **Client confidential** | Memory, baselines, findings, handoff |
|
||||
| Kai ledger | Settlement (Phase 1: file JSONL under engagement) | Billing metadata only — no secrets |
|
||||
| Scrubbed lessons | Supplier only after client `contribute_lesson: approved` | Role craft improvements |
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Filesystem layout (Phase 1)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
roles/<role-id>/
|
||||
ROLE.yaml
|
||||
agent-definition.md
|
||||
memory-template.md
|
||||
ramp-up.md
|
||||
ramp-down.md
|
||||
protocols/
|
||||
|
||||
engagements/pilots/<engagement-id>/ # or client-owned path later
|
||||
ENGAGEMENT.yaml
|
||||
agent-*.md
|
||||
access-plan.md
|
||||
schedule.yml
|
||||
request.yaml
|
||||
checklists/
|
||||
vault/
|
||||
reports/
|
||||
commercial/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Lifecycle phases
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
requested → quoting → funded → staffing → ramp_up → operating ⇄ renewing
|
||||
→ ramp_down → closed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Illegal transitions require `--force` (CLI). Ramp-up and ramp-down have
|
||||
checklist exit criteria (RU-*, RD-*).
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. CLI surface
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kaizen-agentic engagement list|show|validate|checklist|phase|prepare|staff
|
||||
kaizen-agentic engagement close-session|quote|scrub|export-handoff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `prepare` — offline session bundle (no LLM invoke)
|
||||
- `close-session` — vault log + engagement-scoped metrics + Kai ledger + report
|
||||
- `scrub` — heuristic gate before any lesson contribution
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Access and privilege
|
||||
|
||||
- Credential routing remains ops-warden / OpenBao / ops-bridge (never invent secrets)
|
||||
- Observe-class work may proceed with verified SSH
|
||||
- `privileged_ops`, `package_upgrade`, `firewall_change`, `reboot` require
|
||||
**recorded human approval** in the vault before execution
|
||||
- Dry-run privileged proposals satisfy ramp-up “approval path tested” (RU-08)
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Metrics placement for staffed engagements
|
||||
|
||||
Metrics for a staffed Role duty are stored **under the engagement tree**
|
||||
(`.kaizen/metrics/<role>/`) so they travel with client vault custody, not the
|
||||
supplier monorepo’s global project metrics by default.
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Kai trial currency
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 1 settles in **Kai** (file ledger). Seat/duty catalog and FX conversion
|
||||
rules live in the business model wiki. Empty balance pauses new duties; ramp-down
|
||||
always allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Relation to DEC-FDA-001
|
||||
|
||||
DEC-FDA-001 working defaults are **elevated** into this ADR. Future overrides
|
||||
should amend this ADR (or a successor), not re-open DEC-FDA-001 silently.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
### Positive
|
||||
|
||||
- Second staffed engagement can copy `roles/` + `engagement staff` + RU/RD checklists
|
||||
- Confidentiality boundary is structural, not only policy text
|
||||
- Pilot railiance01 is the reference implementation path
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative / trade-offs
|
||||
|
||||
- Pilot vault currently sits in the supplier repo (`engagements/pilots/`) — must
|
||||
still be treated as client confidential; export to client repo is recommended
|
||||
before multi-tenant growth
|
||||
- activity-core automation for host duties is optional Phase 3 (manual prepare OK)
|
||||
- Kai is not a payment processor; EUR path remains future work
|
||||
|
||||
### Follow-ups
|
||||
|
||||
- Export pilot vault to client-owned path when railiance ops repo is ready
|
||||
- Optional activity-core ActivityDefinitions for daily host-operator prepare
|
||||
- EUR commercial FX after 2–3 engagement calibration cycles
|
||||
|
||||
## Pilot evidence
|
||||
|
||||
- Engagement: `engagements/pilots/eng-coulomb-railiance01-ho-001/`
|
||||
- Role: `roles/host-operator/`
|
||||
- Workplan: KAIZEN-WP-0009 (T01–T11)
|
||||
- Live ramp-up: 2026-07-16 (phase `operating`; Critical memory/load findings)
