Mission · Government & Defense
AI that survives counsel, the CIO, and the statute.
Federal, state, and DoD missions. We work to NIST AI RMF, FedRAMP/FISMA posture, Section 508, and current OMB AI policy — because the founder has served the mission, not studied it.
The constraint
A commercial copilot will be blocked, correctly, if there is no data-classification story, no model-risk owner, and no 508 plan. Theater is cheap. Authority to operate is not.
How AIDA is applied
Governance and change are first-class dimensions here, not an appendix. Retrieval before generation. A written will / will not list before any tool is chosen.
What we will not do
We will not recommend a vendor who cannot answer FedRAMP questions. We will not put a generative system on records it is not cleared to see.
Cory Maffeo is an active-duty U.S. Air Force officer. Consulting is performed off-duty, in a personal capacity, and does not constitute an official endorsement by the Department of the Air Force, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government.
Where to start
The first move.
Most missions start with an Enterprise Audit. Some need Fractional CAIO. A few need a workshop for the acquisition team so the next buy does not repeat the last.
Next step
A similar constraint?
The discovery call is how we tell you whether this sector’s pattern applies, or whether yours is different.
