Section 01

Executive Summary

missionMATCH turns a cleared workforce into a decision ready intelligence asset, from the moment a requirement lands to the moment a proposal ships.

Government contractors win or lose on people. A single unfilled key personnel line, a clearance that lapsed, or a slate that cannot survive an audit can sink a bid worth tens of millions. Yet most firms still run this on spreadsheets, tribal memory, and a resume folder. missionMATCH replaces that with a single platform that reads a requirement, scores every candidate against it with a transparent and defensible model, ranks a proposal ready slate, and keeps a complete compliance record, all under strict tenant isolation and validated cryptography.

What makes it different

Explainable by construction
Every match score is a transparent weighted breakdown with a human readable rationale and a recordable decision trace. This is an Automated Employment Decision Tool built to be defended, not a black box.
Compliance is a feature, not an afterthought
Demographic data is walled off from scoring entirely. The platform produces the adverse impact reporting a buyer needs for a NYC Local Law 144 or an OFCCP style review.
Built for the cleared world
Clearance hierarchy, poly, and compartment logic are first class. Cryptography is validated to the federal standard from day one. Cleared resumes are treated as controlled unclassified information.
No vendor lock in
The same system runs on Amazon Web Services GovCloud or Azure Government. Choosing a cloud is configuration, not a rewrite.
missionMATCH™02   The problem
Section 02

The Problem, and Why It Is Hard

Cleared staffing is a matching problem wrapped in a compliance problem wrapped in a security problem.

1

The match is multidimensional

A qualified candidate is not just a skills match. It is the right clearance at the right level, the right certifications, prior experience with the customer agency, enough years, and the right place and availability. Miss one and the candidate is not proposal ready, no matter how strong the resume reads.

2

The stakes are asymmetric

A weak slate does not just lose a point, it can render a bid non compliant. Key personnel gaps, unsupported clearance claims, and stale availability are the quiet reasons good companies lose recompetes.

3

Every decision is an employment decision

Screening and ranking people for jobs is regulated. New rules on automated employment decision tools require that scoring be explainable, that a human stays in the loop, and that adverse impact can be measured. A tool that cannot show its work is a liability.

4

The data is sensitive

Clearance information and cleared resumes are controlled. They cannot be sprayed across consumer software as a service tools, logged carelessly, or sent to an unaccredited model endpoint.

5

The signal is scattered

The intelligence that decides a bid lives in five places at once, the resume, the requirement, the solicitation, the incumbent landscape, and the labor rate. Nobody has time to fuse it by hand before the proposal is due.

The gap in the market. Generic applicant tracking systems were built for commercial hiring at volume. They do not understand clearances, they do not fuse federal market signal, and they were never designed to defend an automated employment decision. missionMATCH is built for exactly this world.
missionMATCH™03   Four tools, one loop
Section 03

Four Tools, One Intelligence Loop

One shared engine and one shared data model power three focused tools, each answering a distinct question at a distinct moment in the capture lifecycle.

screenMATCH™
Is this candidate qualified for this requirement?

A single candidate qualification view. It produces the explainable score, the mission readiness panels, and the clearance intelligence for one person against one requirement. This is the desk level check a recruiter runs before advancing anyone.

slateMATCH™
Who belongs on the proposal candidate slate?

The core differentiator. It scores the whole pool against a requirement, ranks a proposal ready slate, and carries the human approval workflow and the adverse impact readout that a proposal can be defended with.

missionMATCH™
Who can support this mission today?

The workforce intelligence view. A command center that names the staffing gaps, quantifies the revenue at risk, surfaces upcoming opportunities and the incumbent landscape, and lets the whole team ask the AI brain a plain language question.

recruitMATCH™
Who is working the desk, and how is it going?

The delivery side. Clients, job orders and the hiring pipeline from first contact to placement, with the money modelled properly: a wrap rate, a real cost per hour, and margin reported separately from spread. Above it a manager view that scopes to a desk or a person, compares every figure against the window before it, bands recruiter load against the published benchmark, and turns a target into attainment.

The loop they serve

The four tools are stages of one loop. A requirement enters, candidate intelligence is gathered, the engine scores the match, a ranked slate is produced, and proposal readiness is recorded. The output of each stage is the input to the next, and every stage writes to the same audited system of record.

Requirement → Candidate Intelligence → Match Scoring → Ranked Slate → Proposal Readiness
missionMATCH™04   How it works
Section 04

How It Works, Step by Step

Follow a single requirement through the platform, from intake to a defensible proposal decision.

1

Intake the requirement

A requirement arrives, from a solicitation, a task order, or a capture plan. It carries a labor category, a required clearance level and poly, mandatory and desired skills, certifications, required years, a place of performance, and the customer agency. The platform stores it under the tenant, isolated from every other tenant by construction.

2

Gather candidate intelligence

Candidate profiles are ingested from resumes and connected systems. Parsing runs behind a provider interface so that cleared resumes, which are controlled unclassified information, are processed by an accredited or self hosted endpoint, never a consumer tool. Skills are resolved against a cleared skills ontology so that a synonym or an adjacent skill still matches.

3

Score the match, transparently

A pure, deterministic engine scores each candidate against the requirement across six weighted dimensions. The math is exact decimal arithmetic, so the same inputs always produce the same score, which is what makes the result auditable. Every score comes with a per dimension breakdown and a plain language rationale.

4

Rank the slate

For a requirement, the engine scores the whole eligible pool, ranks it, and assigns readiness bands. A learned re ranker can surface the candidates a reviewer is most likely to approve, but it only reorders, it never changes a score or a band. The frozen engine remains the single source of the number.

5

Keep a human in the loop

A person approves or rejects every slate member. The platform never auto rejects a candidate. Each decision is recorded with its rationale, so the slate carries its own defense.

6

Prove readiness and measure impact

The platform rolls the slate up into proposal readiness, and it computes selection rates and four fifths ratios so the customer can run a bias audit. Demographic data never touches the score, it lives in a separate, access controlled module used only for this reporting.

7

Fuse the market and ask the brain

Around the loop, the platform fuses real federal signal, open solicitations, historical awards, and labor rates, and exposes an AI brain that answers plain language questions grounded strictly in the tenant's own data, always citing its evidence and refusing anything it cannot support.

missionMATCH™06   Scoring engine
Section 06

The Scoring Engine, Explainable by Design

A pure, deterministic model is the floor of the whole platform. Everything else reads it and narrates it, nothing replaces it.

DimensionWeightHow it scores
Clearance25Exact or higher than required scores full. A higher level satisfies a lower one, a lower level or an expired or unknown clearance scores zero. The hierarchy is encoded.
Skills25Full when all required skills are met. Exact match first, then semantic similarity for synonyms and adjacent skills, always recording which candidate skill matched which requirement.
Certifications15Required certifications present and current.
Customer experience15Prior experience with the requirement's customer agency.
Experience10Years of relevant experience against the required minimum.
Location and availability10Place of performance fit and current availability to staff.

Readiness bands

Green, proposal ready
Score 90 and above. Ready to place on a proposal.
Yellow, potential
Score 75 to 89. Viable with a gap to close.
Red, recruiting required
Below 75. A gap the team must source against.

Explainability, built in

missionMATCH™07   The AI brain
Section 07

The AI Brain, Four Augmentation Classes Over One Engine

The brain answers plain language questions, but it is not a chatbot bolted onto a database. It is a closed set of validated intents, each grounded, each audited, each unable to invent a number.

Retrieval augmentation
Answers narrative questions strictly from the tenant's own documents and profiles, citing the evidence it used. It narrates over retrieved records, it never scores.
Table augmentation
Answers questions that require the database to compute, a count, a sum, a distribution, by choosing from a curated set of safe, parameterized, read only queries. The model never writes a query itself.
Graph reasoning
Walks the relational graph already in the database, the skill adjacency, the market and incumbent landscape, the clearance lattice, returning a cited evidence path rather than an opinion.
Model augmentation
Serves calibrated learned signals, a win probability, a display order, a time to fill, computed from interpretable coefficients. By construction these can only emit an opportunity level number or an ordering, never a per candidate score.

The guardrails that make it safe

What a user experiences. A capture lead types, who can support the intelligence analyst mission, or, what are our hardest staffing gaps, and receives a grounded answer with its citations, in seconds, without ever exposing a protected attribute or leaving the tenant boundary.
missionMATCH™08   Architecture
Section 08

Architecture and Technology

Chosen for cloud portability, a clean federal security story, and long term maintainability.

Backend
A single compiled, memory safe service in Go. One static binary, native validated cryptography, no heavy runtime to accredit. Thin handlers, logic in services, typed and compile checked database access.
Data
PostgreSQL with a vector extension for semantic search. Hybrid retrieval fuses full text and vector search. Schema changes only ever happen through reviewed migrations.
Tenancy
Postgres row level security in a pooled model. Every tenant scoped table enforces isolation with a using and a with check policy and forced row level security. No tenant context means zero rows, a safe default.
Frontend
A modern typed single page application, a left navigation shell, stat cards, dashboards, and the four tool surfaces, talking to the service over a first party authenticated session.

The layered design

LayerResponsibility
PlatformCross cutting concerns, configuration, database, tenancy, security, audit, storage, and the embedding and parsing providers, each behind an interface.
EngineThe pure deterministic scoring model, no input or output, the single per candidate scorer.
ModulesEach domain, matching, slates, command center, opportunity intelligence, compliance, auth, and the AI brain, as a self contained unit.
InterfaceThe HTTP API and the typed frontend that consume the modules.

Portability, a founding requirement

Everything cloud specific, object storage, the model provider, secrets, and identity, lives behind an interface. The platform runs on Amazon Web Services GovCloud or Azure Government with the other cloud's adapter present. Choosing a cloud is a configuration decision, not a code change, and there is no single vendor lock in on the core path.

missionMATCH™09   Responsible AI
Section 09

Responsible AI, Compliance, and Auditability

This is an Automated Employment Decision Tool, and it was designed from the first line to be defensible under scrutiny.

Explainable
Every match score is a per dimension breakdown plus a human readable rationale plus a gap summary plus a recordable decision trace.
Human in the loop
People approve or reject every slate member. The platform never automatically rejects a candidate.
Demographics walled off
Protected attributes live in a separate, access controlled module. They are never an input to scoring, and the scoring code cannot reach them.
Adverse impact reporting
The platform computes selection rates and four fifths ratios so a customer can run a NYC Local Law 144 or an OFCCP aligned review.

How the firewall is enforced

An important honesty. The platform provides the data a customer needs for their own bias audit. It does not itself constitute the audit, and using it does not transfer the employer's legal responsibility. We state this plainly because a serious federal buyer expects that clarity.
missionMATCH™10   Security and deployment
Section 10

Security and Deployment Posture

Aligned to the federal control baseline, with validated cryptography enabled from day one.

Validated cryptography
The service is built with the native validated cryptographic module enabled. Passwords use a standards based key derivation with a high iteration count and a server held pepper. Secrets at rest are encrypted with authenticated encryption, with versioned keys so they can rotate.
Authentication
First party opaque server side sessions in a hardened cookie, instantly revocable, with mandatory time based one time password multifactor implemented on the validated standard library. No path yields an active session with multifactor unsatisfied.
Access and identity
Role based access, one human to one account to one organization, provisioning and authority bounded invites rather than open self signup, and federated single sign on kept behind a clean interface for when a customer needs it.
Data protection
Controlled unclassified information is never logged. Cleared resumes are parsed by an accredited or self hosted endpoint. Transport is encrypted, and every export is logged.

Delivery

Accreditation is a shared journey. The platform is engineered to the federal baseline and uses validated cryptography, which shortens the path. A specific authorization to operate in a customer environment is a joint effort with the customer's security team, using the customer's accredited cloud and endpoints.
missionMATCH™11   Why we win
Section 11

Why We Win, the Commercial Brief

The value is measured in bids won, hours saved, and audits passed.

The value we create

Win more
Stronger, faster, defensible slates. The command center names the gap and the platform shows the exact people who close it, before the proposal is due.
Spend less effort
The hours a team burns fusing resumes, requirements, and market signal by hand collapse into a single scored view.
Carry less risk
Every employment decision arrives with its own explanation and audit trail, and the adverse impact reporting a review needs.

Who buys, and why

BuyerTheir painWhat the platform gives them
Capture and proposal teamsSlates assembled under deadline, on instinctA ranked, proposal ready slate with a defensible rationale in minutes
Cleared staffing firmsMatching cleared talent to reqs at scaleA screening and slate engine that understands clearances natively
Program and workforce leadsNo live picture of staffing gaps and riskA command center that names gaps and quantifies revenue at risk
Compliance and legalExposure on automated employment decisionsExplainability, a human in the loop, and adverse impact reporting

Our defensible advantages

Purpose built for cleared work
Clearance, poly, and compartment logic and controlled data handling are first class, not retrofitted onto a commercial applicant tracking system.
Compliance as a moat
An explainable, auditable, firewall enforced decision tool is hard to copy and exactly what a regulated buyer requires.
One engine, one story
Four tools over one engine and one data model tell a single connected story instead of four disconnected reports.
Portable and future proof
Both government clouds, no lock in, and a learning layer that improves ranking over time without ever compromising the defensible core.

Learning layer, advancing

Calibrated win probability, a display order re ranker, and a time to fill forecast, each learned from the tenant's own outcomes, each governed by a quality and a fairness gate before it is ever promoted, and none of which can replace the deterministic per candidate score.
