BLACKARC SYSTEMS // FEDERAL AI // PRACTICE 04

Discovery & AI Roadmap.

Before a line of code, we map the mission workflow end to end and rank where agents change the economics — not where AI is trendy.

01 // OUTCOMES

What you get.

01 A prioritized opportunity list scored by value, risk, and feasibility.
02 Process maps and exception analysis that capture how the work actually runs.
03 A sequenced, costed roadmap your team can start on Monday.
04 Honest answers, including where AI is the wrong tool.

02 // CAPABILITIES

How we deliver it.

The capabilities below are what we ship under defined scope. Custom work outside this list is welcome, and scoped explicitly.

CAP / 01

Workflow mapping

We map the mission process end to end — decision points, exception flows, and the tribal knowledge that lives in people's heads.

CAP / 02

Opportunity scoring

Candidate workflows ranked by value, risk, and feasibility, with engineers — not just analysts — in the room.

CAP / 03

Architecture & roadmap

Target-state agent architecture, integration points, data flows, and a sequenced plan with realistic timelines.

CAP / 04

Anti-hype counsel

We tell you where agents earn their keep and where they don't. Please do not put agents in every workflow.

04 // PROOF

We ship systems, not slides.

BlackArc runs 150+ agents in production across federal, SLED, and commercial deployments — versioned, evaluated, and observable. Every recommendation here comes from work that has held up on a duty cycle, not from a pitch deck.

PROOF // IN THE FIELD

Discovery & AI Roadmap in the field.

Anonymized mission patterns — the shape of the work, without the names. Each one ran in production, with a human on the decisions that mattered.

Acquisition & Contracts

Defense agency

SITUATION

A contracting shop reviewing more solicitations than its officers could keep pace with — market research and compliance checks done by hand, late into every close.

WHAT WE BUILT

An acquisition agent that drafts market-research summaries and runs proposal-compliance checks, with the contracting officer approving each output before it moves.

WHAT CHANGED

Officers work more packages without adding staff, and every recommendation traces back to the source document an auditor would ask for.

PRACTICE / 05 →

Custom & Tuned Models

Models tuned on your mission data, in your style, for your decisions — run inside your enclave.

PRACTICE / 06 →

Run & Sustainment

Go-live is the beginning. We monitor, tune, and expand systems so they compound instead of decay.

ENGAGE

Scope a discovery & ai roadmap engagement.

Start with a 30-minute briefing. Bring the workflow, the architecture, or the accreditation question. We bring the engineer who can answer it.
