Grant Compliance & Intelligence

    AI-powered federal grant management with 2 CFR 200 built in

    The only platform that combines decision intelligence with federal grant compliance - 8 purpose-built models covering every stage from award through closeout, with 2 CFR 200 rules encoded directly into the analysis.

    Challenges We Solve

    Governance gaps that structured controls and audit trails eliminate.

    Audit Readiness Blind Spots

    Single Audit findings catch you off guard. Score readiness across 12 compliance areas covering Subpart F, cost principles, and procurement standards before auditors arrive.

    Cost Allocation Guesswork

    Allocating shared costs across federal awards is error-prone and high-stakes. LP-optimized allocation models enforce 2 CFR 200.405 consistently and defensibly.

    Subrecipient Monitoring Gaps

    Pass-through entities struggle with 2 CFR 200.332 requirements. Six-factor risk models score subrecipients and flag monitoring gaps before they become findings.

    Drawdown Compliance Risk

    Timing grant drawdowns to meet 2 CFR 200.305 cash management requirements is a manual guessing game. Monte Carlo forecasting models project P10/P50/P90 scenarios.

    Policy Change Impact Uncertainty

    Executive orders, OMB memos, and regulatory changes ripple through your grant portfolio. Model the financial and compliance impact before it hits.

    Grant Lifecycle

    Grant Management Pipeline

    Structured grant management from award evaluation through allocation, monitoring, and audit-ready closeout.

    Platform Features

    Federal Grant Compliance, Purpose-Built

    Every model encodes 2 CFR 200 rules directly - cost principles, audit requirements, cash management, and subrecipient monitoring. Not a generic risk tool with a grants label.

    Portfolio Dashboard

    Real-time burn rates, obligation tracking, and compliance scores across your entire grant portfolio. See which awards need attention at a glance.

    Monte Carlo Drawdown Forecasting

    Project cash needs with P10/P50/P90 confidence intervals. Model drawdown timing against 2 CFR 200.305 cash management requirements.

    LP Cost Allocation Optimization

    Linear programming-based cost allocation across multiple federal awards. Maximizes allowable recovery while enforcing 2 CFR 200.405 cost principles.

    12-Area Audit Readiness Scoring

    MCDA-based scoring across financial management, procurement, property management, subrecipient monitoring, and 8 more compliance domains.

    Subrecipient Risk Assessment

    Six-factor risk model covering financial stability, prior audit findings, program complexity, monitoring history, compliance capacity, and award size.

    Spending Anomaly Detection

    Isolation forest and Z-score analysis flag unusual spending patterns, budget category deviations, and velocity changes before they become audit findings.

    How It Works

    Three steps to structured, auditable decisions.

    1

    Add Awards & Configure

    Enter your federal awards with CFDA numbers, budget periods, and cost categories. Import from Grants.gov or SAM.gov, or upload award documents directly.

    2

    Run Compliance Models

    Analyze audit readiness, optimize cost allocations, forecast drawdowns, score subrecipient risk, and detect spending anomalies - all against 2 CFR 200 rules.

    3

    Monitor & Report

    Track compliance scores over time, receive drift alerts when risk profiles change, and generate audit-ready evidence packages for Single Audit and agency reviews.

    Replace Your Stack

    Your grant compliance lives in spreadsheets, manual checklists, and tribal knowledge. Every Single Audit is a scramble to assemble evidence that should already exist.

    Spreadsheet compliance trackers

    No version control, no scoring, no early warning - you find problems when auditors do

    ×

    Manual cost allocation

    Hours of spreadsheet work per allocation cycle with no optimization or defensible methodology

    ×

    Siloed audit prep

    Evidence scattered across email, shared drives, and filing cabinets - reassembled from scratch each cycle
