We build the bridge between emerging capability and government mission.
Go-to-market services for defense and government vendors. Mission assurance evaluation for the agencies that buy from them. Two sides of the same problem.
Defense and government buyers need to rapidly evaluate whether emerging technologies can actually deliver to mission. Commercial vendors need to navigate the terrain to reach those buyers.
Ghostrider operates on both sides of that line — with the same underlying rigor, rooted in the mission assurance framework the Department of Defense uses on its own critical assets.
We take vendors from cold UEI to qualified pipeline — registration, regulatory positioning, capture strategy, and proposal architecture aligned to how agencies actually buy.
page29 is our mission assurance framework for evaluating advanced technology and rapid capability against the same standards used to assess defense critical assets.
Four services, one integrated capture motion. We sequence them to the stage of readiness, not a standard checklist.
From UEI assignment to active registration across SAM.gov, DSBS, and supplementary vehicles. Compliance-first, renewal-managed.
Pipeline strategy built to the agency buying cycle — PPBE, BAAs, OTAs, and program-of-record timelines — not the vendor wish list.
FAR, DFARS, CMMC, ITAR, EAR. Navigation, not paralysis. We translate regulatory requirements into operating decisions your team can execute.
Win themes, gate reviews, proposal architecture. We run disciplined capture against the Shipley model and against real source selection rubrics — the ones in AFARS, DFARS PGI, and Army Source Selection procedures.
A mission assurance framework for evaluating advanced technology and rapid capability.
Derived from DoDI 3020.45, Section 3, Figure 1 — the Mission Assurance Construct. The four processes on page twenty-nine become the four phases of our evaluation discipline. Government-grade rigor, engineered for commercial speed.
What is important and why
Decompose the mission. Map task-critical assets and essential capabilities. Establish what success actually requires — before evaluating a single vendor. The output: a prioritized capability list tied directly to mission-essential tasks.
What is the risk
Adversarial approach analysis. Vulnerability analysis. Enhanced cyber analysis. We evaluate candidate capabilities against the same threat-and-hazard framework DoD applies to its own defense critical assets.
What can we do
Accept. Mitigate. Remediate. We produce a risk management plan the government can execute — with timelines, owners, and resource implications. Mission mitigation plans for the capabilities that matter.
What is changing
The threat environment doesn't stand still. page29 includes ongoing performance monitoring, threat-stream tracking, and re-evaluation triggers so capability decisions stay current with mission reality.
Every page29 engagement produces a structured findings record adapted from Army Source Selection procedures — the same evaluation discipline applied to major weapons systems, now engineered for emerging technology capture and rapid capability decisions.
Three commitments that separate page29 from generic due-diligence or vendor qualification work.
page29 maps directly to DoDI 3020.45 and the Mission Assurance Construct. Not a proxy. Not an approximation. The phases, the findings, and the reporting products align to the frameworks the Department already uses — so outputs drop into existing governance processes without translation.
Assessment isn't a checklist — it's a red-team exercise in disguise. We pressure-test candidate capabilities against near-peer adversary intent and capability, consistent with the threat-rating planning assumptions in DoDI 3020.45, Section 3.4.
The traditional assessment cadence measures in years. page29 compresses the evaluation cycle to the tempo advanced technology actually requires — without losing the defensibility a mission owner needs when they sign the risk decision.
