A governed AI workstream
HELM brings agents, gates, provenance, and sign-off as a working architecture, not a slide. Your program inherits the discipline on day one.
For primes and partners
The AI workstream your evaluators will not poke holes in.
We team with prime contractors, universities, and hardware companies that need a governed AI or computational layer, delivered by senior people, with claims that hold up.
What we bring
Four reasons to put us on the team.
Senior people only
The founder built production AI at Adobe on Firefly and Acrobat. Our technical lead brings two decades of photonics and hardware development.
Small business standing
An SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) registered in SAM.gov, eligible for SBIR and STTR, and a partner that counts toward a prime's small-business and WOSB subcontracting goals.
Claims you can defend
We state readiness levels and limits in writing. Nothing we contribute to a proposal will embarrass you in front of an evaluator.
Teaming models
Who we work with, and how.
Primes
We own a defined AI, evaluation, or modeling workstream under your contract, with our own gates and evidence package.
Universities and labs
STTR and research teaming. You bring the science; we bring the computational layer, the software, and the program discipline.
Hardware and science companies
Photonics, sensing, imaging, and manufacturing teams that need modeling, reconstruction, and analysis around their hardware.
Process
From first call to a signed teaming agreement.
- 01Intro call
Thirty minutes on the topic, the customer, and the role you need filled.
- 02Mutual NDA
Paper in place before anything sensitive is shared.
- 03Scoped role
A written scope: our workstream, hours, deliverables, and what we will not claim.
- 04Proposal and delivery
We write our sections, price our work, and stand behind them through award.
