Capability 05
AI-enabled functions & bounded prototypes
Retrieval, classification, drafting, and review-support functions with the human decision kept visible.
OutcomeA reproducible prototype on public or synthetic data, an evaluation record against agreed cases, and a decision memo on whether to proceed.
What this covers
Document search and summarization for case workers, classification and routing of incoming requests, first-draft generation for routine correspondence, and review support that flags what a person should look at. Each function is scoped to a named user and a named decision.
Guardrails that are part of the scope
- Public or synthetic data by default. Production or sensitive data requires a buyer-approved data, hosting, security, and privacy path before use.
- A human decision stays visible. The function recommends; a person decides, and the record shows who did.
- Evaluation before expansion. The prototype is measured against agreed cases and the results are delivered, including the misses.
Where BCA fits
A bounded assessment and prototype is a natural micro-purchase or simplified acquisition. Inside a larger program, it is a discrete work package that lets a prime or agency test an AI function without committing the platform.
Next step
Send the requirement. We reply with a bounded scope and evidence, not a pitch.
A sources-sought notice, a section of a statement of work, or a one-paragraph problem description is enough to start. Expect a written response within two business days.
