The only AI readiness system built specifically for WOSB, SDVOSB, VOSB, 8(a), and HUBZone federal contractors — from a woman-owned, veteran-owned firm that knows exactly what you're up against.
AI is the great equalizer — but only if it's built for how government contracting actually works.
GovWin, Deltek, and the big BD platforms cost $15,000–$29,000 per year. They're built for primes with procurement IT departments — not a 5-person SDVOSB running capture from a spreadsheet.
ChatGPT doesn't know a NAICS code from a PWS. It can't filter WOSB set-asides, check FAR compliance, or understand what "limitations on subcontracting" means for your proposal. You end up doing the translation yourself.
The average small firm spends 40–80 hours on a single proposal. With a two-week turnaround on most RFPs, that's your entire team — burning time on writing when they should be doing the work you already won.
You're the right fit if any of these sound familiar:
I built this because I lived it. Running a certified firm and competing against larger primes — I needed AI that understood my world. Not one-size-fits-all tools that left me doing all the translation myself.
GovCon Launchpad is an AI-powered assessment and workflow platform — backed by real consulting expertise from a firm that holds the same certifications you do.
A structured 40-question diagnostic that scores your firm across five dimensions — data, operations, BD pipeline, people readiness, and compliance posture. You leave with a precise AI Readiness Index score and a prioritized map of where to act first.
Integrated with SAM.gov, this tool surfaces set-aside opportunities that match your NAICS codes and specific certification types. Scored by win probability — competition density, incumbent tenure, and agency spending patterns — not just keyword match.
Based on your audit results, the system recommends your top 3–5 AI workflow automations — ranked by ROI and implementation speed. Each recommendation includes time savings estimates, tool suggestions, and a 30/60/90-day implementation plan.
Trained on winning set-aside proposal structures. Drafts your Management Approach, Technical Approach, and Past Performance narratives. Understands FAR compliance language, subcontracting plan requirements, and CMMC-aware documentation for DoD pursuits.
Generates a simple AI use policy, data handling standards, and audit trail documentation your firm can submit in response to agency AI transparency requirements (per 2025–2026 OMB guidance). Positions you ahead of the curve — and ahead of your competitors — on responsible AI adoption. This is becoming table stakes for federal AI contractors.
Schedule a 90-minute session with Thelia. We'll walk through the full 40-question intake — your technology, operations, BD pipeline, team readiness, and compliance posture.
Within 5 business days, you receive your scored report — dimension-by-dimension results, your overall Readiness Stage (1–4), top workflow recommendations, and a prioritized 90-day roadmap.
Access the full platform. Start with the highest-priority workflow recommendation from your report. Optional: add a monthly implementation retainer for hands-on support as you build out your AI operations.
No enterprise pricing. No year-long contracts required to see value. Three ways to engage — starting with a single assessment.
StrategyLINC is WOSB and SDVOSB certified. AI consulting services may be deliverable under federal set-aside contracts. Contact us to explore government contracting options.
Running StrategyLINC as a WOSB and SDVOSB certified firm, I competed for federal contracts against teams twice my size. I watched AI tools promise to level the playing field — then watched them fall apart the moment you needed them to understand a set-aside, a FAR clause, or a subcontracting plan.
So I built what I wished existed. GovCon Launchpad is the system I would have paid for when I was sitting across from a two-week RFP deadline with a team of four and no BD staff. It's designed by someone who has the same certifications you do, has been inside the same proposals, and knows exactly what "limitations on subcontracting" means for your bottom line.

The framework is complete. The methodology is proven. The platform is live. What we don't have yet is a wall of client testimonials — because this offer is new. What we do have is a founder who has lived every problem this system solves, a consulting track record built since 2017, and real certifications that give us standing in this market. If you want to be one of the first firms through the process — and help shape what this becomes — beta assessment spots are open at the full price with direct access to Thelia Mead. That access won't always be available at this price point.
No. The system is designed for business owners and BD leads — not engineers. If you can use Microsoft 365 and SAM.gov, you can use this. The assessment itself is a guided conversation, not a technical audit.
That's actually when this is most valuable. We identify the right foundations to build before you scale — so you're not fixing a broken system after you've won your first major contract.
Most AI consultants know AI. We know AI and federal contracting. This system understands NAICS codes, set-aside compliance, FAR language, the Shipley process, and the real workflow of a small certified firm. That's the difference.
Yes. As a WOSB and SDVOSB certified firm, we can deliver AI operations consulting services under set-aside task orders, BPAs, and through federal procurement vehicles. Contact us to explore options if you're looking to bring this in through a government contract vehicle.
You receive a branded report document that includes your AI Readiness Index score, dimension-by-dimension results, your Readiness Stage (1–4), top workflow recommendations with ROI estimates, and a 30/60/90-day roadmap. It's designed to be client-ready — shareable with partners or leadership.
No. The assessment is a standalone, fixed-fee engagement. There is no pressure to continue with the platform or retainer. Many clients choose to continue — but that's your decision based on the value of the roadmap you receive.
79% of firms are "adopting AI." Only 11% have it actually running. You've built the certifications — now build the system that makes them work harder.
