Washington, DC
Small teams carrying big compliance loads.
The DC economy leans on federal work, and that shapes even the smallest firms. A ten-person contractor still tracks labor hours, certifications, past performance and deliverables like a much larger company. An association still owes its board clean numbers on members, renewals and events. A law or lobbying shop still bills by the hour and lives in email.
Most of that lands in shared drives and spreadsheets maintained by the one person who knows where everything is. When budgets tighten or a contract ends, there is no slack to fix it. That is where a focused review and a small, well-built tool pay off.

Example projects
Ideas we would build for DC organizations
Examples of work that fits this market, not past clients.
- Idea
A member portal for an association
Renewals, event sign-ups and member directories in one place, with a dashboard that shows the board where revenue and engagement stand.
- Idea
A proposal library with an AI first draft
Past performance write-ups, resumes and boilerplate organized by topic, with Claude drafting a first version for a human to edit. Sensitive material stays out of it by design.
- Idea
A staffing and deliverables tracker
For a small contractor: who is on which task order, upcoming deliverable dates and expiring certifications, with reminders before anything slips.
- Idea
A client update page for a professional firm
Each client gets a private page with matter status and documents, so the weekly “any update?” email goes away.

FAQ
Questions from DC owners.
Do you work with federal agencies directly?
No. We work with private businesses and nonprofits, including firms that do government work. We don’t take on classified work, and sensitive material stays out of any AI tools we set up.
Can AI tools be used safely with our data?
Yes, with rules. We decide up front what Claude can see, keep sensitive or controlled information out of it, and build in human review. Some work should not go near AI, and we will say so.
Is this only for tech-heavy organizations?
No. We build for teams who are not technical. The goal is software your least technical person can use on day one.
Will you meet on site in DC?
Our DC engagements run remotely on video. That keeps the work moving and keeps costs focused on building.
