DimensionScore

AI-first

SEERai 'estimation-centric AI' is branded and productized with agentic workflows, responsible-AI posture, and quantified stats; AI is central but framed as a layer atop the SEER estimation platform rather than the entire pitch.

8Strong

Consultative partner

Positions around governable commitments and business outcomes (cost/schedule/risk), with advisory estimation consulting and a 'system of record' framing — outcomes-led but anchored to a product more than open-ended transformation advisory.

7Strong

Clear differentiator

Sharp, plainly stated differentiator: purpose-built estimation-centric AI with auditable, traceable assumptions and sector-validated data vs. spreadsheets and black-box chatbots — specific and defensible.

8Strong

Thought leadership

17 pieces with pointed, opinionated titles plus a proprietary 2026 State of the Industry Report cited as a primary data source — substantive POV beyond a generic blog.

7Strong

Industry specialization

Two deep verticals (manufacturing, public sector) plus four moderate, with named aerospace/defense clients (NASA, Lockheed, Boeing, General Dynamics) and sector-specific framing — strong specialization.

8Strong

Technology-forward, owns IP

Core asset is owned IP: SEER multi-module platform (SEER-MFG, SEER-SEM) and SEERai model with customer proof and productivity stats — a genuinely product/IP-led firm.

Services and capabilities

Advisory and strategy

Project Cost Estimation

Baseline cost early, then re-forecast quickly if assumptions change. Uses parametric modeling and AI to turn incomplete inputs into decision-ready cost estimates in minutes.

63% increase in time saved to produce an initial cost-and-schedule baseline

Advisory and strategy

Should-Cost Analysis

Build defensible should-cost positions and supplier scenarios before negotiations, with traceable assumptions and reviewable outputs.

Advisory and strategy

Price-to-Win (PtW)

Set bid strategy using a defensible cost position and scenario trade-offs. Incorporate past data and responses into new RFPs.

Advisory and strategy

Risk Assessment & Analysis

Quantify uncertainty into ranges and drivers that leadership can review and act on, using Monte Carlo simulation and parametric modeling.

Advisory and strategy

Scheduling & Labor Estimation

Forecast effort and schedule early and keep staffing plans aligned as scope evolves.

Advisory and strategy

Software Sizing & Agile Planning

Translate evolving scope into size, effort, cost, schedule, and risk ranges. Test staffing, reuse, and delivery scenarios to ensure roadmap commitments align with capacity.

Advisory and strategy

RFP/RFQ Strategy & Response

Turn RFPs into structured estimate artifacts faster without sacrificing review readiness.

Advisory and strategy

Design to Cost & DFM (Design for Manufacturing)

Bring cost into design decisions early, compare alternatives before changes get expensive. Estimate manufacturing cost from part geometry, process steps, and material choices.

AI and ML

SEERai – Estimation-Centric AI

Agent-powered AI workflows purpose-built for cost, schedule, and risk estimation. Converts messy inputs (documents, narratives, requirements) into structured WBS, BOM, and estimate elements with traceability and human approval checkpoints.
