Government & Defense
We understand the mission because we have served it.
Responsible, compliant, security-aware AI for federal, state, and DoD organizations. Mission first. Public accountability is not a constraint we discovered last quarter.
On the record
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.
We scope government engagements to avoid any conflict with that commission. We help you work toward a control set. We do not certify anything against it.
Built for how government actually buys.
Direct award
Small-business eligible. Streamlined pathways for qualified contracts, without an 18-month beauty contest.
InquireSubcontracting partner
Specialized AI expertise on large primes. Strengthens small-business subcontracting and the technical story.
InquireAdvisory
Strategy, readiness, and implementation guidance via task orders, BPAs, or direct engagement.
InquireWhat the practice brings.
Agency readiness
AIDA adapted for government: data, stack, talent, governance, strategy, and compliance maturity. An honest picture and a prioritized path.
Strategy & governance
Mission impact balanced with risk, ethics, and public accountability. Frameworks grounded in NIST AI RMF and federal policy.
Implementation
Pilot to production with security in front. Legacy environments, classification, and the approval path that actually governs change.
Workforce
The barrier is rarely the model. Executive workshops, agency-wide literacy, IT and procurement training, change support.
Working knowledge, not a logo wall.
The frameworks that govern federal AI, as working constraints rather than as an appendix assembled for a proposal.
Next step
Mission-aligned, or not at all.
Tell us the constraint. We will tell you whether we are the right firm, and if we are not, who is.
