Striveworks growth playbook

Publish one releasable page per product (Chariot AIOps, Chariot Forge agentic orchestration, edge AI management) and one per vertical solution (multi-domain awareness, ATR). Each states what it does, where it runs (cloud, on-premises, disconnected edge), how it keeps models working, the human-approval and logging controls, published results, and a demo request routed by sector. Turn each page into the matching one-pager in the collateral library.

Program offices, primes and partners check the vendor's own site before a briefing. Named product pages capture searches created by every contract announcement and give the sales team one link per product.

[ ] One-line description in the buyer's terms
[ ] Where it runs: cloud, on-premises, disconnected edge
[ ] How it keeps models working (drift, remediation)
[ ] Human approval and action logging
[ ] Published results with source
[ ] Contract vehicles and how to buy
[ ] Demo request routed by product and sector
[ ] Link to the matching one-pager

Either remove the option, or publish one page on Chariot for commercial and civil government use (model monitoring, drift remediation, disconnected deployment) with the kinds of problems Striveworks takes on, and route those requests to a named owner.

A clear answer saves sales time and, if the market is wanted, opens a second pipeline that does not depend on defense budgets.
