  • Award Assessor

    Common Challenge: Processing thousands of financial assistance awards for compliance reporting requires hours of manual review and can yield inconsistent results across programs.

    How It Works: Automated AI-based assessment engine that reviews Federal financial assistance award transactions to identify information such as award purpose, activities to be performed, expected deliverables and outcomes, intended beneficiaries, and subrecipient activity information. Results support an agency's compliance with transparency reporting requirements, including OMB and Treasury requirements, as well as improves data quality.

    • Quality Assurance
    • Data Quality
    • Time Savings
  • FormXtract

    Common Challenge: Federal agency staff spend hours manually reviewing files and documents to extract, organize, and act on unstructured and structured data from thousands of documents and forms. This creates process bottlenecks, introduces error, and leads to inefficiencies.

    How It Works: Automated AI-based document intelligence extracts, organizes, and summarizes data (unstructured and structured) with superior accuracy. Provides actionable information and can create financial transactions or other pertinent records as needed. Frees-up staff to focus on other operational activities and/or utilize the results for automated peer review and compliance purposes.
