Everyone's selling you AI.
Nobody will tell you where it's allowed.
You machine parts for primes. Your inbox says SPRS score, your quoting backlog says hire someone, and every AI vendor pretends CUI doesn't exist. We're the AI firm that starts with your compliance boundary — and builds everything outside it.
Squeezed between certification costs and prime-contractor pressure.
SBA's estimate of what full CMMC certification can cost a small firm — before a single part ships. That math is why Phase II got suspended.
Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop and the other primes are auditing supplier lists and requiring compliance documentation on new subcontracts — suspension or not.
“Can we use AI tools in the shop without blowing up our CUI handling?” Your IT guy shrugs. Your CMMC consultant says “not my area.” The AI vendors say “sure!” Nobody's actually answered it.
AI belongs on one side of a line. We draw the line first.
Most of what eats your week — quoting follow-up, email, scheduling, paperwork chase — never touches controlled data. That's where AI goes to work. The CUI side stays exactly as your compliance posture demands.
THE CONTROLLED ZONE — AI stays out
- Part drawings, specs, and technical data marked CUI
- Contract documents referencing controlled programs
- Anything under your NIST 800-171 data-handling scope
THE OPEN FRONT OFFICE — AI goes to work
- RFQ intake, quoting follow-up, and the “did you get my quote?” chase
- General email triage, scheduling, vendor coordination
- Marketing, reviews, hiring pipelines, bookkeeping prep
Four services, each built around the boundary.
The CMMC-Aware AI Readiness Assessment
We map how data actually moves through your shop, mark the CUI boundary, and hand you a tool-by-tool verdict: what's clear, what's conditional, what stays out — with the reasoning written down. It's the assessment a Big-4 firm would run, sized and priced for a shop your size.
The Front Office, Automated
Every RFQ call answered, every quote tracked to a yes or a no, every open loop chased — drafted for your approval, sent under your name. Built entirely in the open zone. Your machinists machine; the follow-up never sleeps.
The Business Black Box
A standing engagement that extracts your shop’s operating knowledge — pricing instincts, vendor rules, quality thresholds — into a living operations binder with every rule backed by evidence. Continuity for your family, credibility for your primes, and value the day you ever sell.
The Defense-Supply Intelligence Briefing
A weekly briefing built for your shop: regulatory changes decoded, prime-contractor moves in Arizona’s corridor, and honest analysis of AI tools entering your trade. Seven research angles, every claim sourced, zero hype.
What we are not — on purpose
- We are not a C3PAO and we don’t certify anyone.
- We don’t write your SSP or run your enclave — that’s your compliance consultant’s lane, and we work alongside them, not around them.
- We don’t put AI anywhere your data-handling obligations say it can’t go — and we put that in writing before we build anything.
- Every claim we make is sourced. If we can’t source it, we don’t say it.
Find out where AI is allowed in your shop.
One conversation. We’ll tell you honestly what AI can and can’t do inside your compliance posture — and what the front office could look like ninety days from now.
