02Services

What we do, and what we don't.

AI Modernization

Replacing manual, paper-bound processing with production AI systems: intake, classification, extraction, review workflows, citizen-facing services, and the data foundations underneath them. Engagements are built to reach production, not to stop at a pilot.

AI Engineering

Custom software engineering for public sector systems: integration between legacy and modern systems, high-volume processing, public-facing digital services, and documentation that transfers ownership to the agency that commissioned it.

Government AI Performance OS

A seven-dimension operating model used to determine whether AI actually deploys in an agency, with a free public sector assessment and a facilitated leadership workshop.

Brand-led services

Through GovGTM: go-to-market intelligence, advisory, and win-loss analysis for companies selling into government. Through Stativ: accessibility governance and continuous compliance tooling. Through GovWire: government technology intelligence and network programs.
