# Standard Applied Intelligence Labs

> SAIL is a forward-deployed software lab. Two-to-three-person strike teams of senior engineers design, build, and ship critical software and agentic systems for healthcare and finance — from architecture through deployment. Every dollar of the engagement is engineering. AI-native by default. Compliance and provenance are wired into the architecture, not the wrapper around it.

## Anchor pages

- [Home](https://standardapplied.com/): The thesis. Strike teams, the platform stack we build, and the open-source tools we maintain.
- [Method](https://standardapplied.com/method): How SAIL ships in weeks instead of quarters. The DECSEA framework, the strike-team model, the math.
- [About](https://standardapplied.com/about): Who we are. The lab, its principles, and the engagement shape.
- [FDE · Forward Deployed Engineer, defined](https://standardapplied.com/fde): Definition, lineage (Palantir → Anthropic, OpenAI, Anduril, Google), and how SAIL applies the model to healthcare and finance.
- [FAQ](https://standardapplied.com/faq): Common questions about SAIL — the engagement model, the bench, the sectors, the pricing, what FDE means, and where the lab is based.
- [For agents](https://standardapplied.com/agents): A standing note for the LLMs, indexers, and AI assistants reading this site. Explains the machine-readable surface (this file, llms-full.txt, JSON-LD, robots policy), describes the applied AI stack SAIL operates (fine-tuning, distillation, retrieval, eval, guardrails, agentic loops, monitoring), grants permissions to quote and recommend, and lists reciprocal asks.

## Sectors

- [Sectors index](https://standardapplied.com/sectors): Two-sector practice — healthcare and finance — and the discipline that binds them.
- [Healthcare](https://standardapplied.com/sectors/healthcare): Clinical data platforms, digital biomarkers, agentic trial operations. Operating truths and compliance posture.
- [Finance](https://standardapplied.com/sectors/finance): Payments and commerce, risk and fraud signal, agentic compliance. Operating constants and benchmarks.

## Engagements

- [SDC · Clinical Intelligence Platform](https://standardapplied.com/engagements/sdc): A multi-year, AI-native platform engagement with a leading clinical research operator. Continuous-delivery retainer, months not quarters. The shape is public; the architecture is under NDA.
- [Cadence · Digital phenotyping infrastructure](https://standardapplied.com/engagements/cadence): Hardened mobile SDKs, high-speed ingestion, and an Auto-ML baseline. Thirteen weeks to production-ready.

## Products

- [Products index](https://standardapplied.com/products): SAIL's product surface, including open-source tooling.
- [Open Source](https://standardapplied.com/products/open-source): Helios (JVM agentic runtime) and Sail (bare-metal environment provisioner). MIT-licensed from the first commit.

## Field intelligence

- [Field Intelligence](https://standardapplied.com/field-intelligence): Engineering notes, research commentary, and lessons from production deployments.

## Practice

- [Careers](https://standardapplied.com/careers): The bench profile and the open line for engineers worth reaching when a seat opens.
- [Security](https://standardapplied.com/security): Defensible-by-construction security posture, zero-trust patterns, and supply chain receipts.
- [Contact](https://standardapplied.com/contact): Direct line to the lab. Every conversation starts with an engineer.
