Built to read GAO opinions. Drafts contracts in minutes. Never hallucinates.
ECWS is the federal contract writing suite that pre-screens your solicitation against the GAO bid protest decision corpus before you publish. Five tools. One Contract Twin. Every AI output cited to source authority.
Three pillars.
Each one built in from the start.
Every other AI procurement product wraps a single model call. ECWS layers deterministic federal-regulation rules, AI drafting, GAO precedent matching, and a cryptographic audit chain. That combination is what survives a protest.
Protest-Proof AI
Every AI output cites the source authority. Click any clause, evaluation phrase, or risk score to see the exact FAR/DFARS/VAAR section, GAO precedent, or OMB memo that backs it. No freestanding claims. No hallucinations. Built to survive scrutiny.
Contract Twin
One structured data object spans every phase: requirement, solicitation, amendment, evaluation, award, modification, closeout. Modifications are diffs on the twin, not new files. Institutional knowledge survives staff turnover.
Cryptographic Audit Log
Every AI suggestion and every CO approval is SHA-256 hashed, timestamped, and signed. Tamper-evident. Pull one report for GAO showing the exact decision moment, the AI input, and the human approval that followed.
Five tools.
One contract lifecycle.
Each tool is purpose-built for one phase of the federal contract lifecycle. Together they cover requirement through closeout under one login, one audit trail, one Contract Twin.
Intelligent Solicitation Builder
Cascading wizard captures acquisition type, contract structure, set-aside, and threshold. The deterministic clause prescription engine auto-builds Section I with FAR/DFARS/VAAR citations. AI drafts Section C (SOW), Section L (Instructions), and Section M (Best-Value Tradeoff evaluation). Human-in-the-loop review on every AI section.
See it in the demoGAO Twin
Cross-references your draft against the GAO bid protest decision corpus (2010 to present). Returns protest probability, top protest grounds, and recommended language fixes — every recommendation cited to a winning precedent by B-number, date, and decision. Apply fixes live. Watch the probability drop.
See it in the demoSF-30 Modification Engine
Upload an existing contract. AI parses it into the Contract Twin object. Modify delivery, quantity, price, or terms with redline diff. Every version retained in immutable history. Cryptographic audit log on every change. FAR 43 compliance enforced automatically.
See it in the demoChat With Your Contracts
Type a question, get an answer with cited contract IDs and clause references. Which contracts have option years exercising in 90 days? Which SDVOSB contracts have CPARS below 4.0? Powered by Acumen-10. Every answer links to the source contract.
See it in the demoEvaluation Narrative Generator
Upload vendor proposals. AI structures evaluation findings in the standard three-bucket format: technical, past performance (with CPARS pulls), and price reasonableness. Every phrase cites its source: proposal page, FAR section, or CPARS rating ID. Hallucination guardrails enforced at the output layer.
See it in the demoAcumen-10 AI Engine
Acumen-10 is the federal-procurement-tuned reasoning engine behind every tool. It is not a generic chatbot. It combines deterministic regulation prescription, jurisdiction-aware AI drafting, GAO precedent matching, and cryptographic verification — layered, not stacked. 1.3-second average response. SHA-256 audit hash on every output.
Acumen-10 is not
a wrapped chatbot.
Every other AI procurement platform runs your input through a single large language model. Acumen-10 is layered.
- 1Deterministic regulation prescriptionFAR/DFARS/VAAR clauses for Section I are not AI-drafted. They are rule-based on procurement method, dollar threshold, contract type, set-aside, and agency. Zero hallucination surface.
- 2Jurisdiction-aware AI draftingSection C (SOW), Section L (Instructions), and Section M (Evaluation) are AI-drafted by Acumen-10 with explicit federal procurement context loaded at every call.
- 3GAO precedent matchingDraft solicitations and award decisions are cross-referenced against the GAO bid protest corpus (2010 to present). Risk scores and recommended fixes cite winning B-numbers.
- 4Cryptographic verificationEvery AI output and every CO approval is SHA-256 hashed and timestamped. The audit log is tamper-evident and available for GAO or Inspector General review.
When a vendor protests, GAO asks two questions: Was the procurement process documented? Were evaluation findings linked to solicitation criteria?
Every Acumen-10 output answers both questions in advance. Every citation chip is a defensible source-of-record entry. Every audit hash is a tamper-evident moment in time.
The standard
Every AI output cites the source authority. Click any clause to see the FAR section. Click any finding to see the GAO precedent. Click any rating to see the proposal page. No freestanding claims.

Disclosure: Integration Roadmap
VA iFAMS and Momentum integration architecture has been designed and blueprinted by Encore. The integration is custom-coded per engagement and is not a pre-built COTS connector. Encore does not claim a partnership, certification, or endorsement from VA or any financial system vendor. SAM.gov, FPDS-NG, and broader ERP adapters follow the same model. FedRAMP authorization is being actively pursued; current deployment operates in a federal-compatible cloud environment consistent with FISMA requirements. Full architecture documentation is available on request.
