TINLANCE / FDSE
Engineering intelligence and assurance for forward-deployed software engineering.
FDSE is Tinlance's engineering-semantic layer. It structures context, risk, policy, workflow, evidence, evaluation, assurance, security, supply-chain and lineage concerns around engineering work without becoming the generic execution authority.
Status: Implemented
01 / SYSTEM BOUNDARY
Engineering semantics.
Governed execution.
FDSE does not replace Tinlance's execution platform. The public architecture separates engineering meaning from generic authority so claims remain scoped to the component that owns them.
FDSE
Engineering context, risk, policy, workflow, evidence, evaluation and assurance semantics.
Explore FDSEAgent Platform
Governed execution authority for identity, authorization, approvals, tools, sandboxing, budgets and audit.
Customer systems
Repositories, CI/CD, services and operational environments where engineering work occurs.
This is a public responsibility map, not a production topology. The FDSE ↔ Agent Platform relationship is an architectural contract; live production integration is only claimed when independently verified.
02 / ENGINEERING SEMANTICS
What FDSE means.
FDSE provides the domain language and evidence relationships needed to reason about engineering work consistently across delivery and assurance workflows.
Context
Bind engineering work to the tenant, repository and immutable revision under consideration.
Risk
Relate assets, threats, scenarios, controls, evidence, findings, treatment and residual risk.
Policy
Relate requirements, constraints, guardrails, approvals and exceptions.
Change
Relate change, impact, risk, required evidence, evaluation, approval and verification.
Evidence
Preserve provenance and distinguish observations, evidence, findings, evaluations and assurance.
Security & supply chain
Represent agentic security, dependency, build, artifact, provenance, attestation and verification semantics.
Assurance
Connect requirements, controls, tests, evidence, results, assurance and certification references without claiming certification by association.
Lineage & resilience
Preserve engineering lineage and incident/resilience relationships so changes and outcomes can be reasoned about over time.
03 / HOW TINLANCE USES FDSE
From engineering request to assurance.
FDSE is most useful when it is attached to real engineering delivery rather than presented as an abstract taxonomy.
Assessment-led
Start with a technical assessment to establish the repository, workflow, security and evidence context before proposing implementation.
Engagement capability
FDSE is currently presented as a Tinlance engineering capability delivered through appropriate engagements and enterprise deployments, not as standalone SaaS pricing.
Evidence-scoped
Implementation, testing and validation are represented separately; repository evidence is not converted into customer proof or certification claims.
Platform-separated
FDSE owns engineering semantics and assurance meaning. Generic execution authority remains outside FDSE and is only described as integrated when verified.
COMMERCIAL POSTURE
Use FDSE where assurance matters.
For now, FDSE is an engineering capability within Tinlance engagements. Pricing is scoped with the engineering engagement and customer environment rather than published as a standalone FDSE SaaS tier.
04 / FDE RELATIONSHIP
FDE Mastery delivers. FDSE assures.
FDE Mastery remains the domain engineering and delivery layer. FDSE supplies engineering intelligence and assurance semantics around that work; neither is a substitute for the other.
FDE → FDSE
Turn engineering work into traceable evidence.
Customer requests can be connected to context, risk, policy, changes, evidence, evaluation and assurance while execution authority remains governed by the appropriate platform boundary.
05 / AGENT PLATFORM CONTRACT
FDSE defines meaning.
Platform defines authority.
The Tinlance Agent Platform is the generic governed execution authority. Its implemented governed-execution.v1 contract binds identity, tenant, capability, policy, risk, approval, execution, evidence and audit at the consequential side-effect boundary.
Identity & tenant
The Platform binds authenticated principal and tenant context; FDSE does not create a parallel authority model.
Capability & policy
The Platform evaluates capability, policy and risk before consequential execution. Engineering semantics can require controls but cannot grant authority.
Approval
High-impact actions can require an authenticated, tenant-scoped, action-bound approval; requester self-approval is rejected by the governed execution contract.
Execution boundary
The Platform owns runtime, tool/MCP mediation, sandbox, secrets, budgets, evidence and audit for governed execution.
Evidence & audit
Execution results and lifecycle events are bound to the governed run/execution context; FDSE consumes engineering evidence semantics rather than replacing the Platform audit authority.
Production boundary
The Platform repository documents reference implementations and contracts. External production infrastructure and adapters must be supplied and verified separately.
PUBLIC CONTRACT EVIDENCE
Inspect the governed boundary.
The public Agent Platform repository documents the authority model and R10 contract. This website relationship is architectural evidence; it is not a claim that FDSE is already connected to a live production Platform deployment.
06 / EVIDENCE STATUS
Repository evidence is not customer proof.
The repository establishes implementation and contract evidence. Production capability, customer outcomes and independent validation require their own evidence records.
IMPLEMENTED
Present in the current repository implementation.
TESTED
Covered by automated or reproducible tests.
VALIDATED
Supported by documented validation beyond ordinary implementation/testing.
PLANNED
Intentionally identified for future implementation.
See the full engineering evidence map and technical assessment for environment-specific validation.
07 / EVIDENCE RECORD
Know what the page proves.
The public page is backed by an architecture evidence record and repository CI. That evidence is deliberately narrower than a claim of production integration or customer outcomes.
FDSE PUBLIC ARCHITECTURE
FDSE public architecture and responsibility boundary
The public FDSE architecture route is implemented and repository CI-verified. Architecture and repository evidence do not establish live production integration, customer outcomes, certification or independent assurance.
