Does the architecture show the complete path from input to decision rather than only the model call?
FDE Project Files · Episode 03
Design the Production System and the Work
Turn workflow, data, model behavior, explicit rules, UI, persistence, controls, deployment constraints, and team ownership into one executable system design.
Coming weekly after Episode 1. Target runtime: 45 to 55 minutes.
Questions this episode answers
Design the whole system before local decisions drift apart.
These are the questions the episode keeps returning to across product, engineering, evaluation, and ownership.
Are frontend, backend, QA, and product working from the same finding and evidence contracts?
Have security, latency, cost, observability, and recovery changed the design before implementation spreads?
What you’ll see
What Episode 3 shows.
The walkthrough stays anchored to real artifacts and the decision each one supports.
Input → perception → rules → assurance → scoring → review → output.
Where probabilistic interpretation ends and deterministic application logic begins.
Request, response, evidence, progress, error, score, and review-state structures.
Runs, rules, findings, evidence, decisions, and versions that make a result traceable.
Environment, secrets, retention, security, and operational constraints that affect architecture.
How PM, UX, FEE, BEE, Test/QA, and FDE work overlap instead of moving through a waterfall.
Concrete 77 Rules evidence
The contract matters more than which team drew the box.
77 Rules converts model interpretation into structured evidence, explicit findings, deterministic scoring, and review state. That makes the frontend/backend boundary inspectable instead of coupling the interface directly to free-form model output.
