AI counsel · Federal funds & grants

Make the deadline. Pass the audit. Use AI without risking either.

A federal award comes with a spend-by clock and an audit trail. AI can speed the reporting and the coding, or it can drop a fabricated figure into a federal report and cost you a finding. We build the technology so it does the first and never the second.

AI counsel for tribal governments › Federal funds & grants

The problem

A council approves the fund. Then someone has to build the technology behind it.

Eligibility tracking, disbursement, device or service fulfillment, reporting the funder will actually accept: that is the part vendors skip and grants stall on. Now AI is in the mix, and the temptation is to point a public model at the whole dataset to move faster. On a federal award, that is how restricted beneficiary data leaks and how an unreviewed number becomes an audit finding or a clawback.

The work is standing up program technology that uses AI where it is safe, speeding reporting and fund coding, while restricted data stays out of public models and a human stays accountable for every figure that reaches the funder. Scoped to the award's rules, so the money moves and the paperwork holds.

What we do

Program technology that survives the audit.

Proof

This is our most demonstrable track record.

Purchase-request systems with fund and object coding to 2 CFR, procurement gates tied to dollar thresholds, federally funded device programs, asset and equipment registries: real program technology stood up for tribal governments under federal awards. Federal-tier work is anonymized and stays behind a consent gate; we speak to it and provide references privately.

Questions program staff are asking

AI and federal awards, answered.

Can we use AI on federally funded programs without failing the audit?+

Yes, carefully. The rule is simple: restricted grant and beneficiary data stays out of public models, and a human stays accountable for every figure that reaches a report. We build the technology so AI speeds the work while the audit trail holds.

Which federal funds does this cover?+

Capital Projects Fund (CPF), ARPA and SLFRF, IHS, BIA, and similar federal awards, each with its own reporting and spend-by rules. We scope the technology to the fund and the funder's requirements.

What happens if AI puts a wrong number in a federal report?+

A fabricated or unreviewed figure can trigger a finding or a clawback. We keep AI in an assist role: it drafts and accelerates, a human reviews and signs, and the trail shows who checked what.

Can AI help with fund and object coding?+

Yes. We use it to speed coding to your chart of accounts and 2 CFR requirements, with the coding logic documented so an auditor can follow it.

We are up against a spend-by deadline. Can you help quickly?+

That is the common case. We stand up the reporting and disbursement technology to move the money and hold the paperwork, scoped to the deadline you are facing. See AI counsel for tribal governments for the full picture.
