## How We Team

Two tracks. The first is your contract; we slot in. The second is our small business; you team with us as the prime or as the sub for transition. Pick whichever makes the procurement office happy.

### As Prime · Teaming Preferred

You team with us; we hold the small business set-aside.

- SBIR Phase I — concept feasibility; subs allowed up to 33% SDVOSB set-aside topics; AFWERX, SpaceWERX, NavalX, DARPA, NIH, NSF Open Topics
- SBIR Phase II — prototype build; subs allowed up to 50% Cost-reimbursement-aware; up to ~$2M per topic
- SBIR Phase III — sole-source, no dollar cap Team with us as the transition vehicle; we sub UNDER you for delivery
- STTR — small biz + research-institution partner Open to UMD, JHU APL, MITRE-affiliated researcher pairings
- Direct-to-Phase-II (D2P2) 32-crate Unlicense base + IR&D openbooks = Phase I-equivalent evidence
- SDVOSB Joint Venture JV with another SDVOSB to combine past performance for Phase II / set-aside pursuits
- SBA / DoD Mentor-Protégé Open to 18-month mentor-protégé arrangements; primes can sub to us on set-asides without disqualifying SDVOSB status
- STRATFI / TACFI — post-Phase II match funding Commercial revenue (KNOXAI + oakilydokily + consulting) provides the private match

Best when you've got a topic, a research lead, a Phase III transition need — or you want to mentor.

### As Sub · Where It Fits

Your contract; we slot in for the Rust/cyber CLIN.

- Teaming Agreement — pre-award partnership Most common first touch; converts to subcontract on win
- Subcontract on prime instrument Add us to your active contract; rate card on file; ready for clause flow-down
- Named sub on IDIQ task order Pre-named on your bid for specific task orders; on-call for the surge

Best when you've got an active instrument and need a specialized Rust/cyber capability for a CLIN.

## Architecture Taught Under The Unlicense

When we team, we don't gatekeep. The architecture is the deliverable. The architecture is public domain. Bring the contract; the patterns travel under the Unlicense.

- Single-binary Rust web service pattern — this site is the reference impl. 10 MB binary, $10/mo bare-metal hosting, zero cloud. Source on GitHub, Unlicense.
- Triple-Sims testing gate — three-stage simulation before merge. Implemented in `exopack`. Re-used across every Cochran Block crate.
- Edge / DIL / disconnected deployment patterns — operates in disconnected, intermittent, limited-bandwidth environments. Zero external dependencies at runtime.
- On-device AI inference — `any-gpu`, `pixel-forge`, `kova-engine`. Runs on consumer hardware. No FedRAMP cloud auth required because there is no cloud.
- Distributed C2 mesh — `ghost-fabric`, `runsible`. Multi-node orchestration via SSH with tokenized command compression. Resync on connectivity restore.
- Wall-of-Laptops TUI / framebuffer-console pattern — zero-GUI status displays. ~80 MB RAM total per node. Repurpose, don't replace.
- The `cochranblock` crate itself — a template for instantiating your own anti-founder website. Fork it, rename it, point it at your own catalog. Public domain.
- Custom AI orchestration over curated, research-backed datasets — multiple shipped instances. Data is the moat, not the model. Researched and curated corpora, paired with on-device inference, deliver the kind of dual-use AI that’s defensible without an OpenAI bill or a FedRAMP cloud auth.

No license fee. No NDA needed for the patterns. Full crate-by-crate breakdown at manual.cochranblock.org.

## Verticals

Where the work fits. Each vertical lists the procurement vocabulary your contracting specialist will look for, not marketing words.

## 2026 Procurement Posture

Aligned to CISA Secure-by-Design pledge + the memory-safety roadmap (Jan 1, 2026 deadline). Compliant with NSA/CISA June 2025 CSI "Memory Safe Languages: Reducing Vulnerabilities." Ready for DARPA TRACTOR C-to-Rust translation pursuits. Positioned for DoD CIO FY25-26 Software Modernization Implementation Plan software-factory subcontracts. CMMC 2.0 readiness on roadmap; `NIST SP 800-171` self-assessment in progress.
SBIR-ready. Dual-use posture demonstrated by paid commercial product (KNOXAI) plus 32-crate Unlicense technology base. Targeting AFWERX / SpaceWERX / NavalX / DARPA Open Topics. STRATFI / TACFI match-funding viable via existing commercial revenue.

## Dual-Use Proof

Federal pull paired with commercial pull. KNOXAI is the commercialization anchor — same technology base, two revenue streams.

Technology | Federal pull | Commercial pull
--- | --- | ---
Single-binary Rust services | DoD CIO FY25-26 Software Mod Plan; FedRAMP-Mod-avoidant deployments | oakilydokily.com (paying client); cochranblock.org self-hosted
Memory-safe modernization | CISA Secure-by-Design; NSA/CISA June 2025 CSI; DARPA TRACTOR | 32 Unlicense crates with public adoption
On-device AI inference | DoD edge / disconnected-environment requirements | `any-gpu`, `pixel-forge` — runs on consumer GPUs
AI model integrity certification | NIST AI RMF · EO 14110 · federal AI assurance | KNOXAI — paid commercial service · the proprietary lane · STRATFI/TACFI match source
Custom AI orchestration over curated data | Mission-specific dataset curation; on-device inference for disconnected / cleared environments | Multiple shipped instances; researched and curated corpora as the moat (data, not model)
