Vendor list · AI for government & govtech
AI for government, scored on the published rubric.
Cohort inclusion criteria
- Citizen service & engagement: digital services / 311, communications and outreach, government websites, public consultation and engagement.
- Permitting, licensing & operations: permitting, licensing, code enforcement, case management, and government operations automation.
- Public safety & justice: CAD / RMS, records, and real-time decision and operations for law enforcement and emergency response.
- Budget, finance & procurement: government budgeting, financial management, procurement, federal acquisition, and grants.
- Compliance & gov-cloud: FedRAMP / StateRAMP / CJIS authorization and public-sector security posture.
This vendor set is deliberately broad: a public-safety CAD/RMS vendor does not do permitting, and a policy-intelligence tool does not do citizen 311. Each vendor is scored on its actual coverage of every dimension - a dimension a vendor's product category structurally does not address scores zero, not a penalty for missing evidence.
Rubric (7 dimensions)
- Citizen service + engagement (15%) - digital services / 311, communications, websites, and public consultation with AI assist.
- Permitting, licensing + gov operations (15%) - permitting / licensing / code enforcement / case management and operations automation.
- Public safety + justice (10%) - CAD, RMS, records, and real-time decision and operations for public safety.
- Budget, finance + procurement (10%) - government budgeting, financial management, procurement, federal acquisition, and grants.
- Ease of data integration + accuracy (25%) - connectors across legacy gov systems, records, GIS, ERP, and identity, with documented APIs. The heaviest-weighted dimension.
- Compliance, security + gov-cloud (15%) - FedRAMP / StateRAMP / CJIS authorization and public-sector security posture; frequently a procurement gate.
- Cost economics + time-to-value (10%) - pricing transparency, documented ROI / payback, and a reasonable-for-government deployment timeline.
