Engagement

A practical path from first conversation to deployed capability.

If you want speed without fragility, start with a pilot.

1

Align on mission workflow and success criteria

  • Define the target workflow and constraints
  • Identify required integrations and data sources
  • Establish measurable success criteria
2

Run a short integration pilot

  • Build the smallest end-to-end demonstration that proves value
  • Deliver evidence and documentation as we go
  • Validate performance under realistic constraints
3

Deploy and expand

  • Harden the system for operations
  • Expand features and mission coverage
  • Transition into long-term support and iteration

Designed to support transition

Every pilot is structured to produce the artifacts evaluators need to say yes.

  • Pilot scope structured around measurable criteria
  • Evidence package designed for stakeholders and evaluators
  • Integration roadmap that reduces downstream rework
  • Clear path from demo to deployment

What you get at each phase

After Alignment

Clear scope, success criteria, and integration requirements

After Pilot

Working demonstration, test results, evidence package

After Deployment

Operational system, documentation, ongoing support
