Right-Sized Public Tech
A practical first step when public technology work stalls.
Free tools that help public teams repair a process, use an existing system, cut the scope, or define a responsible pilot.
Stalled Technology Triage
Find the smallest responsible next move.
Answer four questions about the work. The result is a starting point for a cross-functional conversation, not legal, procurement, or security advice.
No email required. Your answers stay in this browser and are not submitted. Software is not the assumed answer.
Public Technology Failure Pattern Atlas
Recognize the failure pattern. Leave with the next decision in writing.
Search source-backed patterns across procurement, operating evidence, AI oversight, and K-12 technology. Start from the symptom your team already sees, then build a private decision pack with owners, evidence, boundaries, and a smallest responsible test.
The reusable loop
- 1Find the symptomSearch or filter the recurring patterns.
- 2Test the evidenceSeparate what is known from what is assumed.
- 3Carry the decision forwardCopy or print a meeting-ready pack.
Before solicitation drafting
Do not let the RFP become the discovery process.
Run a private seven-decision release gate for the operating outcome, alternatives, owners, data, proof, whole-life cost, acceptance, and local route. Leave with a copyable meeting brief.
The hook
Can your team answer the decision questions before vendors answer them for you?
No account. No email. No submission. Progress stays in the browser.
New decision tools
Meet the problem at the moment of pressure.
Use a short, private pressure test when the team is about to buy another system, release an RFP, or accept an AI vendor claim. Each one produces a meeting-ready brief without an account or email.
Choose a pressure testNew flagship guide
Scope an AI procurement before the product conversation takes over.
The AI procurement scoping guide helps state, local, and K-12 teams test whether AI belongs in the solution, then define responsible data, human authority, evaluation, contract, and exit conditions.
Leave with a working record for:
- Problem fit and alternatives
- Impact, data, and human authority
- Pilot and evaluation conditions
- Contract, monitoring, and exit questions
Field kits
Four compact working sessions.
Each kit turns a recurring public-team workload into a review packet, a short sequence, and a decision record. Every factual resource links to its primary source and carries a verification date.
K-12 operations + finance
School transportation vendor management and billing
Connect contracts, assignments, service evidence, invoice exceptions, credits, and payment approval.
Program + finance
Grant or subrecipient monitoring
Build one evidence trail from risk assessment through follow-up and closeout.
Leadership + IT + finance
Capital or IT portfolio intake
Make competing work comparable before it enters a roadmap or budget.
K-12 leadership + IT
K-12 cybersecurity readiness
Run a bounded readiness session around ownership, backups, response, and recovery.
