Module shapes — the building blocks

Every service line composes from the same five reusable shapes, each sized to your specific program need. A single engagement can span several: the Arctic Slope Community Foundation platform spans four of them.

Typical engagement shape

  • A working prototype in about a week — then a usable build in weeks, not months; fixed-price or T&M, your choice. Larger programs run longer.
  • Two business days to respond to any inquiry — direct client or partner channel via Federal Subcontracting
  • Complexity tiers: basic (4–6 weeks · single workflow), standard (6–10 weeks · cross-team), advanced multi-agency integrations (10–12+ weeks) — co-scoped on the intake call

Public-facing portals & hubs

Role-aware web apps, application portals, and community resource hubs — built around the program workflow, with separate views for applicants, reviewers, program leads, and partners. 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA by default.

Program & reporting dashboards

Grant flow, program outcomes, and impact metrics for staff and funders — live numbers from your program data, with AI-assisted summaries and drill-down to the underlying records.

541511541512AI summaries

AI-assisted document review

Document-heavy reporting: ingest PDFs and spreadsheets, extract fields, generate dashboard views and draft narratives — with a mandatory human read before anything leaves your system.

541511541715Human-in-loop

Intake, eligibility & workflow systems

Structured intake forms, eligibility logic, review queues, and referral handoffs across teams and partner organizations — including aggregated community calendars and event classification.

Integrations & modernization glue

Messy spreadsheets, PDFs, and legacy exports to a usable, reportable layer. API integrations between agency systems of record. The cross-cutting shape that connects the other four.

541511541519Data pipelines

Front-end of any line

Capture-phase research & prototype

A 3–6 week fixed-price research-and-clickable-prototype engagement that de-risks scope before the full sprint — sized to fit smaller procurement thresholds.

How an engagement runs

Agile, not waterfall. You have a working prototype in week 1 and a real demo every week after that. The middle of the engagement is a tight build loop — that’s the point.
