We deliver state software projects at a fixed price — for agencies that must deliver more with fewer staff. Twenty-six years of government work; we own the result, not the hours.

Core competencies
  • Fixed-price software delivery. A scoped outcome, a price set before work starts, and the result owned by us.
  • Custom software development. Design and build of government and enterprise applications, from requirements to production.
  • Modernization and transformation. Replacing and re-engineering legacy systems and the business processes around them.
  • Agile delivery at scale. Distributed agile teams since 2006; agile-at-scale coaching for a GDIT program.
  • IT staffing for programs. Experienced IT professionals placed on state programs, today on three in Maryland.
Differentiators
  • We price the result. Fixed price, agreed before work starts. The schedule risk is ours.
  • Twenty-six years of government work. Federal and Maryland clients since 2000, including a current state prime contract.
  • Low overhead. Our back office runs in code. Agency money goes to delivery, not to administration.
  • A partner that builds the tools. We work with SomaCortex, Inc., whose platform and AI agents do much of the research, analysis and drafting behind our leads.
