Unable to deploy report - Business Logic Assembly not available

I have a custom report that has its own business class that also references SrsDrillThroughCommon that I am unable to deploy. I believe the answer I'm looking for is not a simple "recompile" etc...but rather some sort of AX bug or caveat. We are using VSTS for version control and on AX 2012 R3 CU8.

I receive "Parts of the report deployment failed because one or more business logic assemblies was not available. Make sure all referenced business logic assemblies exist in the Microsoft Dynamics AX client Application Object Tree (AOT)."

This error tells me the business logic project isn't deployed. Where does it "deploy" to?

I've completed many full AXBuilds, CIL's, I've refreshed my WCF data in my AXC's and I'm connected to the CUS Layer. Recompiling the projects in the AOT produces:

If I edit the Visual Studio AX project, only the 1 TIProductionReport is visible. I add the business logic assembly and SrsDrillThroughCommon and everything compiles correctly. Then I am able to deploy in whatever development/test environment I'm in.

The issue is we don't have Visual Studio in production. So the act of opening Visual Studio and compiling is somehow working. Any ideas?
