The Problem

The federal-state AI regulation collision

Trump's Executive Order (December 11, 2025) attempts to preempt state AI laws and promote "AI freedom." Meanwhile, states like Colorado are enforcing strict AI governance requirements (SB 205, June 30, 2026). Agencies operating across jurisdictions face confusion, not clarity.

🏛️ Dual Compliance Burden

Federal agencies must follow the EO's innovation-first mandate. State agencies must comply with state AI laws like SB 205. Agencies that work across both face contradictory requirements.

📋 No Unified Framework

There's no single AI governance standard for government. NIST AI RMF exists but isn't mandatory. States are creating their own rules. The result: every agency building governance from scratch.

🔒 Procurement Complexity

Government AI procurement requires FedRAMP, FISMA, and now AI-specific governance attestations. Vendors who can demonstrate compliance win contracts. The rest don't make the shortlist.

⏰ Budget Cycle Pressure

FY2026-2027 budgets are being finalized now. Agencies that can articulate AI governance needs with clear frameworks get funding. Those still figuring it out get cut.

The Solution

AI governance built for government procurement cycles

AI System Inventory & Classification — Catalogue every AI tool across your agency. Classify by risk level under applicable federal and state frameworks. Identify gaps before auditors do.
Policy Development — Custom AI governance policies aligned with NIST AI RMF, state requirements, and your agency's specific mandate. Not boilerplate — built for your jurisdiction.
Impact Assessments — Algorithmic impact assessments for AI systems making consequential decisions. Required under SB 205 and becoming standard for federal contractors.
Bias Testing & Monitoring — Continuous testing for protected-class bias in AI systems used for benefits determination, enforcement, hiring, or public-facing services.
Vendor AI Governance Attestation — Framework for evaluating AI governance readiness of technology vendors. If you're procuring AI, you need this.
Training & Change Management — Government-specific AI governance training for staff. No jargon. Practical workflows. Meets mandatory training requirements.
