The work that mattered most left no record anywhere.
You're embedded in the client's environment: on their site, in their Slack, sometimes on their laptop. The systems back at your own company were built to record a deal or a ticket, not the work you actually did. Praktor is where that work goes instead.
No time limit, no credit card. Unlimited team members on every plan.
A season of embedded work, and nothing built to keep it.
You move from account to account, spending weeks or months inside someone else's environment before you rotate to the next one. Whatever you learned along the way leaves when you do.
The reason you chose that workaround lives in your head, not in a ticket.
Your own company's tools know none of what happened in the client's Slack.
A handover briefs the next engineer on the tasks, never on the judgement behind them.
Nobody wrote down the corridor conversation that changed the architecture.
There is no 05. When the engagement ends, so does the only record of what actually happened.
Every tool around you records a transaction. None of them records what you actually did.
- CRM
- records the deal
- PSA
- records billable hours
- Ticketing system
- records what broke
- Project tool
- records what's left to do
None of them recorded the actual work: the reasoning behind a workaround that saved the rollout, or the corridor conversation that changed the architecture. So at review time, the person closest to the work has the least evidence of it. Praktor is where it goes instead.
Every finding comes with the quote that produced it.
What a forward deployed engineer gets from every log
Log it before you forget it.
Talk through what happened in a voice note or text, right after the call or the site visit. Voice notes are auto-transcribed, so there's nothing to write up later.
See the risk before it escalates.
Every log gets a 5-point sentiment read and a risk rating from low to critical, built from what you and the rest of the account team actually reported.
Hand over the reasoning behind the work.
Ask what happened on an account, or why a call went sideways, and get an answer with citations to the logs behind it.
Bring your history with you.
Import what you already know about an account from CSV, so the record doesn't start empty the day you rotate to the next one.
FAQ
What is the right tool for a forward deployed engineer?
One that captures the judgement a ticketing system and a project tool both miss: the reasoning behind a decision, not just the decision itself. Praktor is firsthand client intelligence. Log what happened on an account in your own words, and it becomes a record the rest of your team can actually read.
How do I show what I actually did on an account?
Most of the work an embedded engineer does never reaches a ticket: the workaround, the architecture call, the conversation that changed the plan. Log it as it happens, and it is there the next time someone asks what you did this quarter.
Is Praktor a ticketing system or a project tool?
No. A ticketing system records what broke, and a project tool records what is left to do. Praktor records the relationship and the judgement behind the work, the part neither of those is built to capture. Most engineers run it alongside whatever their team already uses.
What happens to the record when I rotate to the next engagement?
It stays. Praktor is your own company's record, not the client's system, so what you logged is still there for whoever inherits the account, even after you have moved on.
How much does it cost, and how do I get started?
The free plan has no time limit and asks for no credit card. Paid plans are $22/month for Pro and $88/month for Business, and every plan, including the free one, includes unlimited team members. Prices in AUD, GST inclusive. Start on the engagement you are on now, while the reasoning is still yours to write down.
This is one of the roles Praktor is built for. See every role.
Start with the account that's hardest to explain.
Write down why you did it that way, before the engagement ends. The Free plan needs no credit card and never expires.
