Federal agencies are under pressure to make faster, smarter decisions in increasingly complex environments. Many still rely on a stitched-together solution stack built from:

• A BI tool like Tableau or Qlik
• A backend database
• A systems integrator to glue it all together

This model is slow, expensive, and inflexible — designed for reporting, not for real-time decision execution. CORAS is different.It’s a single, IL5-ready platform that unifies live data, embedded AI, workflow automation, and mission-specific decision tools — with no bolt-ons or custom wiring required.

Instead of wrangling dashboards or waiting on integrators, decision-makers can ask complex questions in natural language — and CORAS answers with live insights, simulated outcomes, and ready-to-act workflows.

Why CORAS Outperforms the BI Stack:

• Built-in Decision Tools: Driver trees, readiness models, tradeoff engines, and SmartBoards support portfolio planning, performance tracking, and program alignment across POM, PPBE, and FYDP cycles..
• AI That Understands and Executes
• Gary, the conversational AI interface, lets users ask complex questions in natural language and routes them to the right tools or agents — from “what-if” scenarios to document creation assistance.
• Embedded AI capabilities include predictive analytics, NLP, similarity analysis, and auto-classification — working together to uncover risk, surface insight, and accelerate action.
• Embedded Workflow & Automation: CORAS includes a configurable workflow engine for forms, approvals, alerts, and task routing — enabling fast, traceable execution without handoffs to email, Excel, or disconnected systems.
• Operational Ownership Without Integrator Lock-In: CORAS is low-code, fully configurable, and offered with flexible sustainment tiers (Bronze to Gold), so customers retain control over evolution and scaling — without long-term services contracts.
• Mission-Ready from Day One: IL5-certified, FedRAMP High, deployable across SIPR/NIPR/JWICS, and natively aligned with TRLs, UFRs, and defense performance frameworks.

Outcome: From Toolchain to Decision Chain

CORAS eliminates the multi-vendor complexity of traditional BI + database + integrator stacks. It empowers program teams to go from insight to action — without waiting, reformatting, or rebuilding. 

One vendor. One platform. One decision fabric. 

CORAS vs. Traditional BI + Database + Integrator Stack

Category

CORAS (One Platform)

Qlik/Tableau + Database + SI

AI Capabilities

Full-stack AI: LLM (Gary), predictive analytics, NLP, similarity analysis, auto-classification

❌ None native; requires external tools and custom ML pipelines

AI Agents

Built-in agents perform What-If modeling, document generation, SmartBoard updates, and workflow triggers — all orchestrated by user intent        

❌ Not available — requires manual effort or custom-coded automation

Scenario Planning

Live “what-if” simulations with SmartBoards and AI agents

❌ Manual, often spreadsheet-based

Built-in Decision Tools

Driver trees, tradeoff models, POM/PPBE structures, readiness engines

❌ Must be built from scratch by SI

Workflow Automation

Native, configurable workflow engine with forms, alerts, task triggers

❌ External or custom-built

Data Integration

Real-time ingest via APIs + structured/unstructured formats (Excel, PDF, JSON)

Complex, brittle ETL setups

User Experience

Ask in natural language, act through SmartBoards

Requires dashboard training and BI fluency

Security and Compliance

IL5 P-ATO, FedRAMP High, SIPR/NIPR/JWICS-ready; all AI and workflows operate within secure boundary    

Enterprise security possible, but requires setup; AI typically runs outside core boundary

Ownership Model

Low-code configurability + sustainment (Bronze–Gold)

SI-dependent for updates and expansion

Total Cost Profile

Predictable SaaS with advisory options

High TCO: licenses, support, integration, SI lock-in
