Decide it. Build it.
Make it stick.
Most technical work fails in one of four places. The decision was never made properly, so the build was wrong before it started. The build changed hands so many times that nobody could answer for it. The program slipped and the status reporting stopped matching reality. Or it shipped correctly and nobody used it.
One accountable technical principal covers all four. The person who scopes the work performs and directs it, from the first assessment through architecture, build, integration, and the adoption that decides whether any of it mattered.
Every engagement ends in working technical artifacts you own. Not a slide deck, and not a findings memo.
Find your sentence.
Most people arrive with one of these four problems rather than a NAICS code. Start where you actually are.
The estimate came back and nobody can defend it. A vendor has made a claim nobody can check. The AI use case sounds right but nobody has priced what it costs to run. You need the decision made before the money moves.
Advisory & Solution Engineering →The requirement is real, the systems already exist, and the work keeps stalling between teams, vendors, or platforms that were never designed to talk to each other.
Software, Integration & Private AI →A visible program is slipping, the status reporting stopped matching reality, and the answer to every question is that it depends on another team. Accountability has diffused to the point where no single person can say what is actually true.
Program Management & Delivery Governance →The build was accepted and the organization went right on working the old way. Adoption was treated as a training slide at the end instead of a line item from the start.
Change Management & Adoption →Six practices, one accountable voice.
Each practice lists what it covers, what you receive at handover, and the specific record standing behind it. Every claim below names the experience that backs it. The codes are there because a contracting officer needs them, not because they describe the work.
Advisory & Solution Engineering
Make the expensive decision decidable.- Technical Discovery & Current-State AssessmentWhat is actually running, what it actually costs, and which constraints are real rather than assumed. The honest baseline that every later number depends on.
- Solution Architecture & Costed EstimateRequirements decomposed into a design that can be built, priced, and defended. Interface contracts, sequencing, capacity and performance sizing, and an estimate that survives scrutiny.
- Technology RoadmappingMulti-year sequencing against real budget and real capacity, phased so each stage is achievable and earns the next. A roadmap nobody can execute is a wish list with a timeline on it.
- Build-vs-Buy & Vendor EvaluationAn independent read on a design, a vendor claim, or a product decision: what it does under load, what it costs to run, and whether buying beats building.
- AI Readiness & FeasibilityWhether AI will do anything useful on your data, your workload, and your boundary. Model class, compute sizing, running cost, failure modes, and what has to be true first.
A written assessment, architecture diagrams, a costed estimate or roadmap, a risk register, and a first-ninety-days plan. Sized so the recommendation can be acted on, argued with, or taken to a vendor.
Four years converting Fortune 500 ambiguity into costed, multi-year transformation roadmaps across AI, NLP, RPA, data, cloud, and automation, owning the architecture, the estimate, and the delivery governance. Enterprise solution architecture priced and defended in front of the buyers paying for it. Product management for AI-driven edge hardware, turning sizing and configuration decisions into repeatable tooling.
Where Argus supports requirements development or proposal evaluation, it stands clear of the resulting work and will execute an OCI mitigation plan on request. The assessment is not a sales document, and it is written so it cannot be mistaken for one.
Custom Software Development
Customer-specific code, delivered for operation.- Mission Applications & Operator ToolsDesign, build, modify, test, and support applications built to one mission rather than adapted from a package. Dashboards, decision tools, case and record handling, and AI-enabled operator aids.
- Workflow Automation & Agentic ServicesAutomation of the manual steps between systems. Rules, queues, scheduled processing, and agentic workflows that carry a task through to a recorded result.
- APIs, Data Services & Test HarnessesService interfaces, data access layers, validation harnesses, and the regression tests that keep a build honest after handoff.
Source code, test evidence, deployment instructions, and technical documentation. You own the artifacts.
Two issued U.S. patents, one sole-inventor. A supply chain, forecasting, and asset-recovery SaaS platform built and operated for a national telecom program (2009–2017). A technology and SaaS operation founded, built, and sold (2001–2009). A multi-agent AI environment self-specified and self-built on owned compute, today.
Systems Architecture & Integration
Connect the systems already in the mission.- ERP & CRM Integration Across Order-to-CashOracle NetSuite, Salesforce, and operational platform integration end to end. Data mapping, authoritative source designation, lineage, and working connectors, including post-acquisition consolidation where two organizations disagree about which record is true.
- Architecture & Interface DesignRequirements decomposition into a design that can be built and priced. Interface contracts, sequencing, capacity and performance sizing, and the deployment plan behind it.
- Data Architecture & Asset VisibilityData lake and warehouse foundations, quality thresholds, stewardship, and the visibility layer that tells you what you own, where it is, and what can be recovered.
Architecture documentation, interface mappings, functioning connector code, validation results, and transition support.
An Oracle NetSuite and Salesforce order-to-cash integration for a post-acquisition global organization. An enterprise asset-visibility platform tracking more than $150M per month in issued material and surfacing over $5M per month as recoverable, with material planning accuracy reported at 98%. Four years architecting, pricing, and defending enterprise solutions for Fortune 500 buyers, and an Azure data lake foundation architected inside that work.
Private AI & Infrastructure Engineering
Deploy AI where the data and the workload require it.- Local Model Deployment & Compute SizingOpen-weight model selection and deployment on your hardware. GPU and compute sizing against the actual workload, routing across model classes, and the bill of materials to buy against.
- Containerized Services & Edge ConfigurationContainer architecture, service orchestration, on-premises and edge configurations, and disconnected operation where the link cannot be relied on.
- Data Pipelines, Observability & Security BoundaryIngestion and processing pipelines, metrics, logging and tracing, alerting, and the boundary design that keeps the data inside it.
- Installation, Migration & SustainmentSoftware installation, configuration, migration, troubleshooting, recovery planning, and the operator runbook that makes it supportable after handoff.
A configured environment, deployment automation, baseline test results, monitoring, and an operator runbook.
An air-gap-capable multi-agent AI platform built from bare hardware up and running continuously on owned compute. Product management for AI-driven edge hardware. Infrastructure and SaaS workloads migrated to managed and cloud providers with hosting costs cut by more than 30%. See Argus OS for what that platform actually is.
Listed for requirements where Argus operates the runtime. Where the requirement is design and deployment rather than ongoing hosting, 541519 is the closer fit.
Program Management & Delivery Governance
A program lead who can also read the code.- Technical Program & Delivery ManagementDelivery leadership on a task order or a portfolio. Schedules, milestones, risk and decision logs, dependency management, and status reporting that reflects what is actually true rather than what is comfortable.
- Project Rescue & RecoveryFor the visible program that is late, over budget, or no longer reporting reliable status. A structured read on why it is failing, a recovery plan with the sequence and the trade-offs named, and the control mechanisms that keep it from sliding back.
- Delivery Governance & Portfolio VisibilityGovernance cadence, intake and prioritization, stage gates, and executive reporting that a sponsor can act on. Reporting exists to change decisions, not to produce a deck.
- Fractional Program LeadershipSenior program leadership on a retained, part-time basis. The governance and accountability of a program office without carrying the headcount, for organizations that need the function rather than the org chart.
- Service Management & Operational HandoverITIL-aligned service management process, support model design, runbooks, and the transition that makes a delivered system somebody’s clear responsibility on day one.
A schedule and milestone baseline, risk and decision registers, a governance cadence, executive reporting a sponsor can act on, and the transition artifacts that make the outcome supportable after handover.
Project Management Professional, current. ITIL 4 Foundation. Led METIS, an enterprise SaaS platform across a large telecom deployment ecosystem, and an ERP and CRM order-to-cash integration program for a post-acquisition global organization. Turned a telecom operation to profitability in three months and $6M revenue in six. Built and ran onshore and offshore engineering organizations of thirty or more across as many as thirteen time zones (2009–2017), with a safety program for 80+ dispersed technicians.
Most program management support supplies process discipline and escalates every technical question. Here the technical question does not get escalated. The same person holds the schedule, reads the code, and can tell you whether the date is real or whether the estimate behind it was never sound.
Change Management & Adoption
Make it stick after the build is accepted.- Stakeholder Analysis & Adoption PlanningWho is affected, what they lose, what they gain, and what would have to be true for them to work the new way. Planned as a line item from the start rather than a training slide at the end.
- Training Design & DeliveryRole-based training built from the actual workflow, along with the reference material people reach for at the moment they are stuck.
- Communications & Resistance ManagementSponsor messaging, communication sequencing, and the honest handling of resistance from people who often have a real reason for it.
A stakeholder and adoption plan, training materials, a communication plan, and the measurement that shows whether adoption actually happened rather than whether training was attended.
Prosci Certified Change Practitioner (2021). Executed inside Prosci ADKAR where your organization already runs it. Led post-acquisition policy alignment, process integration, training, and adoption at an acquired company (2018–2019), the work that decided whether a completed integration was used or worked around.
Or start from a package.
The same five practices, pre-scoped into fixed-price engagements with a named deliverable, a stated duration, and a defined finish. These exist so an award can move without a scoping cycle in front of it, and so a first engagement is small enough to be judged on its own before anything larger is committed. Pricing quoted on request, within one business day.
Technical Discovery & Assessment
The honest baseline before anyone commits money. What is actually running, what it actually costs, which constraints are real, and what would have to be true for the thing you are considering to work. Sized to sit inside a purchase-card action, so it can start without a competition.
Solution Architecture & Costed Estimate
A requirement decomposed into a design that can be built, priced, and defended in front of the people paying for it.
Technology Roadmap
Multi-year sequencing against real budget and real capacity, phased so each stage is achievable and earns the next.
Build-vs-Buy & Vendor Evaluation
An independent read on a design, a vendor claim, or an AI use case: what it does under load, what it costs to run, and whether buying beats building.
Custom AI Workflow Build
A working implementation of one mission workflow, built to your process rather than adapted from a package.
Systems Integration Build
One end-to-end connection between applications, data sources, or operational systems. Built, validated, and handed over with the backlog of what comes next.
Private AI Environment Deployment
A configured local-model environment sized to your actual workload, inside your boundary, on your hardware. Built to be operated by your team after handoff.
Project Health Assessment
An independent read on whether a program is actually where the status report says it is, and what the real exposure looks like.
Project Recovery Sprint
For the visible program that is late, over budget, or no longer reporting reliable status. Why it is failing, what the recovery actually costs, and the trade-offs named rather than deferred.
Fractional Program Leadership
Senior program leadership on a retained, part-time basis. The governance and accountability of a program office without carrying the headcount.
How discovery is priced. The industry convention is five to ten percent of the anticipated build cost, and Argus quotes inside it. If a discovery quote is a large fraction of the build it was meant to de-risk, something is wrong with the discovery or with the build estimate, and you should ask which.
Where a package becomes a program. Any package can be the first increment of a larger effort. It is scoped to stand alone so that it does not have to be.
Where this is the right call, and where it is not.
A single accountable principal is a structural advantage on some work and the wrong answer on other work. Both lists are short and both are honest, because finding out at month four is expensive for everyone.
- Programs needing hundreds of consultants on site
- Multi-billion, multi-year transformation portfolios
- Global rollouts requiring follow-the-sun staffing
- Commodity staff augmentation billed by the seat
- Requirements where corporate past performance is scored and cannot be met by teaming
- Work Argus already supported as requirements development or proposal evaluation
- Decisions that need someone who reads the code and the contract
- Work sized to a task order, a subcontract, or a purchase card
- Estimates that did not survive contact with reality
- Data with a boundary that has to be respected
- Integration where two systems disagree and both are technically correct
- Builds that must be supportable by your team after handoff
Capacity and growth. Principal-led, and staffed to the requirement. Present direct-labor capacity is 40 hours per week, and the packages above are scoped to it. Larger awards scale through direct hire or teaming, confirmed with you before contract. The principal has built and run onshore and offshore engineering organizations of thirty or more across as many as thirteen time zones, and stays on the work at every size.
Past performance. Argus Sovereign AI, LLC was formed in 2026, and the record described on this site is the principal’s. Where corporate past performance is evaluated, we team to the requirement. Where technical judgment is evaluated, ask the hardest question you have.
Everything we support, mapped to the work.
For market research, a contract file, or a sources-sought response. Each code below is matched to the practice it actually covers, so you can see the fit rather than infer it. If your requirement is coded differently than you expect, ask. You will get a straight answer about whether it is a fit, including when it is not.
