Frequently Asked Questions

What does DefenseLogic AI do?

DefenseLogic AI helps defense contractors improve capture strategy and positioning for software-intensive DoD programs operating under the Software Acquisition Pathway. The firm works upstream of proposals to identify acquisition and capture risk, align win themes with real decision authority, and help teams compete credibly under SWP before the RFP is released.

Is DefenseLogic AI an AI software company or a consulting firm?

DefenseLogic AI is an advisory firm focused on the decision logic behind defense acquisition and capture. While AI tools inform how the firm analyzes patterns and scales insight, the primary service is independent judgment applied to complex Software Acquisition Pathway capture decisions. Clients engage DefenseLogic AI for clarity and positioning, not for proposal automation or generic consulting.

What types of engagements does DefenseLogic AI offer?

DefenseLogic AI offers short, fixed-scope advisory engagements focused on Software Acquisition Pathway capture and positioning. Engagements are designed to integrate with existing capture teams and provide clear, actionable guidance rather than ongoing staff augmentation or proposal writing services.

How is Software Acquisition Pathway capture different from traditional capture?

Under the Software Acquisition Pathway, execution credibility and acquisition strategy are evaluated earlier and more continuously than in traditional acquisition models. This means capture decisions, assumptions, and positioning matter sooner, and legacy capture approaches that rely on heavy documentation or deferred execution thinking are less effective.

Who does DefenseLogic AI work with?

DefenseLogic AI works with defense contractors pursuing software-intensive DoD programs, particularly teams navigating the Software Acquisition Pathway. Typical clients include Capture Directors, program-aligned business development teams, and technical leaders involved early in capture who want an independent perspective on acquisition risk and positioning.

Does DefenseLogic AI work with the government or only with contractors?

DefenseLogic AI primarily works with defense contractors. The firm focuses on helping contractor teams understand how Software Acquisition Pathway decisions are made in practice so they can position themselves credibly and responsibly. The work is advisory in nature and complements existing capture and proposal teams.

When should a contractor engage DefenseLogic AI?

DefenseLogic AI is most effective when engaged early — before the RFP is released or while capture strategy is still forming. This allows teams to surface hidden assumptions, align positioning with SWP governance and evaluator behavior, and avoid legacy capture patterns that are difficult to correct later in the proposal phase.
