Census Field Logic & Enumeration App
For the Census Bureau, accurate data collection is paramount. This application manages the workforce of field enumerators, proposing their routes and providing a secure interface for collecting demographic data on mobile devices, with data quality checks and protection of respondent data on the device and in transit. Methodology and operational decisions remain the agency's.

Federal HR "Onboarding Passport"
The federal hiring process is notoriously slow, involving complex forms (SF-85/86), fingerprinting, and background checks. This platform streamlines the pre-employment journey, integrating with OPM systems to track progress and reduce the "time-to-seat" for new civil servants, helping agencies compete for talent.

FOIA "Backlog Buster" Redaction Engine
Federal agencies are drowning in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. This AI-driven engine is trained to identify Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and propose redactions, each with a suggested exemption. By automating the "first pass" review, it is designed to cut processing time and help agencies work down backlogs; analysts decide every redaction and remain responsible for a complete review.

Tax Code "Rule-as-Code" Engine
For the IRS, translating tax law into software code is a manual, error-prone process. This engine allows policy experts to draft tax rules in a machine-readable format that can be directly consumed by tax processing systems, reducing the gap between legislation and implementation.
