- Control-mapping dashboards (CMMC ↔ NIST ↔ ISO crosswalks)
- Automated audit binder generation from a single source of truth
- Workflow automation for repetitive compliance touches
- Migration from spreadsheet hell to versioned, auditable systems
- A multi-tenant production SaaS shipped end-to-end as proof we deliver working software
07
Data Engineering & Analytics
Operational and compliance data pipelines, KPI / SLA dashboards, evidence-grade datasets, and self-service BI on tools your team already uses.
Sold to operations leaders, quality directors, and program offices needing data they can defend in an audit.
What an engagement typically includes
- Data architecture for compliance and operational reporting
- KPI / SLA dashboards with auditable lineage
- Evidence-grade datasets with sampling, integrity checks, and retention policy
- ETL / ELT pipelines on familiar tools (Postgres, dbt, Airbyte, Sheets, Airtable)
- Self-service BI for ops, quality, and program leaders
- Privacy-aware design with PII tagging and documented access patterns
08
Custom Software Development
Lean, audit-aware web applications and integrations (workflow tools, evidence systems, internal portals) built on a production stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Stripe) with full ownership transfer at handoff.
Sold to organizations replacing spreadsheet hell with versioned, auditable software.
What an engagement typically includes
- Web applications on a production-proven stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel)
- Internal portals, evidence systems, and workflow tools
- Integrations against agency, prime, or vendor APIs
- Authentication, role-based access, and audit logging by default
- Test coverage, CI, and preview deploys included
- Full source and infrastructure ownership transferred at handoff
09
Software Services & Managed Tooling
Ongoing operation of internal tools we (or you) built. Releases, monitoring, evidence-integrity reviews, and small-feature delivery on a retainer sized to the buyer.
Sold as a retainer to clients who'd rather we keep the systems running than hire in-house.
What an engagement typically includes
- Managed operation of tooling we (or you) built: release cadence, monitoring, on-call coverage
- Quarterly evidence-integrity reviews (backups, RLS, audit-trail spot checks)
- Compliance-posture monitoring for the systems under management
- Roadmap planning and small-feature delivery on retainer
- Vendor and SaaS posture review for the system’s dependencies
- Right-sized SLA tiers sized to the buyer track, not enterprise defaults
