Government

Analytics, predictive modeling, and AI for public programs

We help federal, state, and local programs detect fraud, manage credit risk, and adopt AI responsibly, with methods that can be explained to oversight bodies, auditors, and the public.

Missions we’re built for

Where financial data drives the mission

Agencies with these missions include the Department of the Treasury, FDIC, SBA, HUD, VA, the Department of Education, and CMS. They are listed to describe the work, not as clients.

Payment integrity & improper payments

Risk scoring, anomaly detection, and automated monitoring that help programs find improper payments before and after they go out.

Loan & credit programs

Default, loss, and prepayment models and portfolio analytics for federal lending and loan-guarantee programs.

Financial regulation & supervision

Analytics and model validation for the agencies that supervise banks, markets, and consumer finance.

Tax, revenue & financial crimes

Pattern detection and text analytics over transactions, filings, and case records.

Health-care program integrity

Fraud, waste, and abuse detection in claims, with explainable results investigators can act on.

Audit readiness

Reconciliation, data-quality, and risk-indicator analytics that support financial statement audits.

Responsible AI

Independent evaluation before AI is put to work

As agencies adopt generative AI, we provide independent, use-case-specific evaluation of LLMs and AI tools, aligned with federal guidance and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

Public-sector work demands transparent assumptions, reproducible analysis, and documentation written for non-specialists. Ayesha Khan’s Cornell MPA in economic and financial policy and her internal-audit analytics background bring a policy and accountability perspective to the technical work.
