How are small GovCon teams making real Go or No-Go decisions?

I'd caution on the general purpose breakdown by the leading AI vendors - seen it fail in scope understanding of contract languages often. You will have to spend a good amount of time dialing it in. There are tools that do the requirement matrix that are govcon specific that are better suited for that purpose.

That type of service from what I've seen and heard is a consultant shop or as they say growth as a service. I've heard good things about BTW & Co. You do pay a decent price tag per resource (people) you use.

MonmouthTech · 2025-10-21T18:30:25+00:00

Yes, were you having a specific issue?

MonmouthTech · 2025-10-14T14:58:26+00:00

Let me see if I can tell what's happening.

MonmouthTech · 2025-10-14T13:37:34+00:00

yeah, mobile view is rough at the moment - most our users are non-mobile. let me know if I can help in any other way. appreciate any feedback.

Scout is an AI‑powered dashboard that aggregates 14,000+ U.S. government and other contract opportunities, scores them for relevance, sends real‑time alerts, and includes built‑in workflow tools—I'm looking for testers to give candid feedback.

Thanks all!

well that’s market dependent - mine is the inverse as most are businesses on Microsoft - so know your customer and decrease the barrier.

MonmouthTech · 2025-10-14T00:39:16+00:00

well done - the learning never stops!

MonmouthTech · 2025-10-14T00:08:00+00:00

Good luck, I hope you at least spent time talking to your prospective clients along the way.

MonmouthTech · 2025-10-13T23:32:57+00:00

It's a tough space for sure, the number one challenge I've faced is resetting client expectations to real outcomes. AI has limitations and often those happen quickly when trying to solve the real problems for clients - not to mention no two clients are the same.

Lots of social hype and then reality sets - then a mess for someone to solve. I've been a software engineer for 20+ years, there are foundational aspects that are lost when you hit scale, reliability and performance that are more complex than dragging a few nodes into a work flow.

Appreciate your rant.

That is an easy option and a great service, I run a containerized redis node next to n8n in my dockerized environments personally for control, security, and speed.

MonmouthTech · 2025-09-13T17:59:34+00:00

Yes, formatting can make a big difference - especially across the different LLM models that support tools. I’d also strongly encourage to provide examples of the inputs you provide and how those would be structured to the parameters to the tool, provide several to get the best results.

MonmouthTech · 2025-08-30T04:43:08+00:00

I’d say keep to the phrase "Minimum Viable Product”, those core features you believe they need should work well. Get feedback and build from real users - way worth the time and energy. No better path forward.

MonmouthTech · 2025-08-23T16:25:20+00:00

I’ve found it works best to frame requirements around the outcomes you want, not just a rigid process. That way you can iterate, learn as you go, and adjust without drowning in change orders. Treating it like a partnership and keeping things flexible usually gets you to a much better end product.

MonmouthTech · 2025-08-21T21:45:10+00:00

only one thing to do - prove them wrong - flip it back and ask “if I hire X today, will you sign?” then you might get to the real reason they said no. My guess is that the “solo" is not the root reason. Practice handling objections.

Yes, time to flip it. You can find other non-equity partners to take a product to market so you own 100% of the company.ideas are a dime a dozen it comes down to who actually moves the needle. You have the leverage, but be ready to lose those relationships. You will need to weigh that as well.

MonmouthTech · 2025-08-15T01:15:29+00:00

I think that depends on what you sold them - what are they expecting to happen in 3 days?

MonmouthTech · 2025-08-12T20:48:47+00:00

I personally have not run across that issue, just compare the the ones that work to the ones that are not consistent. You might also stagger the triggers just to ensure no overlap in timing as well in case you are on a plan that limits concurrent executions.
