Know exactly where your agency stands on AI - and what to do next.
Most agencies know they need AI. Few know where to start. Our NIST AI RMF-aligned assessment gives you a clear, prioritized roadmap.
The Problem
Federal agencies face an AI mandate with no clear execution path. OMB M-25-21 requires agencies to develop AI strategies, inventory use cases, and designate Chief AI Officers - but most teams lack the technical depth to evaluate what AI can realistically do for their mission. Without a structured assessment, agencies either stall (missing compliance deadlines and falling behind peer organizations) or rush into pilots that fail because they chose the wrong use cases, underestimated data requirements, or skipped governance planning entirely. The result is wasted budget, eroded leadership confidence, and a widening gap between mandate and capability.
