Book a 30-minute Product ReviewWhy AI stalls in government software
What gets in the way, and how we handle it.
- 01
Public money that must balance
Explain, never post
AI finds and explains each difference; the balancer approves every correction before it posts.
- 02
Answers nobody can trace
Cite, or decline
Every answer cites the record and page it came from, and says so when the records are silent.
- 03
Data that cannot leave
Your cloud or theirs
Self-hosted models in your cloud account or as a release in the agency's own data center.
- 04
Agencies that must never mix
Scoped per agency
Every lookup filtered by agency, role and clearance first, and closed when a check fails.
- 05
AI that could change a record
Staff decide
AI reads, matches and drafts; agency staff approve each change, and every step is logged.
Why AI earns its place in your product
Close faster
Month close without the hunt.
Balancers see why a batch is off and approve the fix, instead of searching files line by line.
Fewer calls
The public answered from the record.
Taxpayers and defendants get what they owe and why, with anything else sent to staff.
Easier to buy
Built for public scrutiny.
Sources shown, staff deciding and data kept where the agency needs it make your answers to procurement short.
Modules by Datics AI
Start from work we have already delivered, not from zero.
AI for government software you can see before you buy: each module runs on a fictional county and builds on tax, payments, records and public safety work we have delivered. The list also includes one service.

Also for your product
Your product, inside Claude and ChatGPT.
We build a connector so your users can ask their own AI assistant about their data in your product, each signed in with their own login and seeing only what they can already see. It starts read-only, only the fields you approve leave your product, and actions each user approves can come later.
How we build connectorsWhich of today's batches have not balanced yet?
One: the lockbox batch, off by two payments. Here are the file lines behind them.
Proof
Our government software work.
Property tax and fines and fees platforms for a government payments software company, cited records AI for Neno Technologies (NenoBrief and NenoDoc Lexicon), CivicQ's public data platform, and a situational awareness system for a large public security organization.
57 featured AI case studies across our work
Government payments software company
Tax collection · Every channel on one notice
Tax offices collect from every channel and balance each month to the cent
Offices ran tax season on an old desktop system. Now one web back office takes every channel, disburses each dollar and closes the month.
NenoBrief by Neno Technologies
Records AI · Cited answers in production
Archive officers get cited answers inside their live document system, files never copied
Archive records could not reach an outside AI. Now the client's live document system calls our self-hosted gateway for cited answers.
Large public security organization
Public safety · Alerts to outcomes
Security leaders trace each alert to its outcome, seeing only approved records
Alert, incident and response records sat apart across many teams. Now they are linked on one map and appear only after approval.
More government software work
Government payments software company
Fines and fees · Payment portals
Sheriffs and courts take fines online and at the counter on one portal
Fines were paid at the counter in cash or check. Now each agency has its own branded portal for card, bank and front desk swiper payments.
CivicQ
Public data · Every number sourced
Voters see how their representatives vote, trade and fundraise, each number sourced
The record was public but spread across many government sites. Now one profile links votes, bills, trades and campaign money, sources shown.
Large public security organization
Public safety · On-premise releases
A geospatial system that runs in the client's data center, without vendor access
The data is too sensitive for us to host or reach, so each release ships as a tested VM and the client's own admins run the rest.
How it works
Three ways to start, each at a fixed price.
A 30-minute review tells you which one fits. Whichever you pick, you know the production price before you commit, and your fee counts toward it.

AI Scorecard
$5,000 fixed2 weeks
Pick it when: You have already built or tried an AI feature in your platform, live or not.
- One AI feature you have built, tested in staging on 50 of your own cases, with names and contact details removed
- Tests for invented answers, another agency's records, changed amounts and prompt injection
- Cost per agency and a packaging recommendation
- A scorecard, ranked fixes, draft security answers and a fixed quote
Not a compliance audit or certification.
How the AI Scorecard worksProduction, at a fixed quote
We take what your Sprint built or planned live for your agencies, by pull request, with no standing production access. It typically includes load testing at your busiest season and a spend cap per agency. Your Sprint or Scorecard fee counts toward it.
After go-live, optional support
The product is finished and yours to run. If you want us to stay on: a named lead engineer, a monthly quality and cost report, testing before any model change, and more capabilities, each at its own fixed quote.
Stop after any Sprint and keep what you got.
How a Build Sprint runs
- In the setup week we map your platform, agencies and roles and agree what the Sprint touches.
- We follow your coding standards, tests and CI; your engineers review and merge every pull request.
- Half at signature, half when the Sprint Pack is delivered.
- Your time: about 2 to 3 hours a week from a product owner, plus an engineer to review pull requests.
Need integrations first? GovTech platform engineering covers live platforms changed without stopping. Ask in the Product Review.
Built for public records and public money
Controls your customers' security reviews ask about.
Each control is a design fact about how the module is built and how we work, not a compliance claim.
Staff decide
Corrections, links, replies and published data change only when agency staff approve them.
Every answer sourced
Answers cite their record and page; matches show the file line or field behind them.
Scoped per agency
Every lookup filtered by agency, role and clearance first, and closed when a check fails.
We work within your CJIS, PCI DSS, public records, accessibility and privacy requirements and your agencies' contracts. Compliance depends on the complete product, contracts, policies and operating environment; Datics does not present software engineering alone as certification or government authorization.

Questions we hear on the first call
Straight answers before you book.
The questions GovTech product and engineering leaders ask most.
Do you build AI for local government?
We build for the software companies that serve local government: tax offices, sheriffs, courts, clerks and archives. If your product brings AI into an agency's daily work, we build it inside your product, under your name, for your agencies.
Do you sell to agencies or answer public bids?
No. We work for the software company, in its repository and under its name. The agency contract, procurement and support stay with you.
Can the AI change an amount, a record or a published number?
No. It reads, matches, explains and drafts. Agency staff approve every correction, link and reply, and every step is logged with who approved it.
Can it run without sending agency data to an outside AI service?
Yes. We have built records AI that runs fully self-hosted on client-owned GPU hosts, and delivered a system as tested, versioned releases into a large public security organization's own data center, where we had no access.
How do you keep many agencies apart on one platform?
Each agency keeps its own settings, rules and data. Every lookup is filtered by agency, role and clearance before anything else runs, and we test that one agency's records never reach another's.
Do you need agency data in the Sprint?
No. Sprints run on a fictional county's sample notices, payments, records and alerts in your staging, and code reaches your product as pull requests.
How do you choose a government software development company?
Look for a team that has changed live government platforms without stopping them: money that balances to the cent, records that stay where the agency needs them, and roles that keep offices apart. Ask how the team handles month close, who decides when the AI is wrong, and who owns the code. We answer each of these in the Product Review, with the work behind it.
Who owns the code?
What we build for your product lives in your repository and ships under your name. The reusable engine underneath stays ours and is licensed to you; the terms are in your contract.
Do you have SOC 2 or FedRAMP?
Not yet, and we hold no government authorization of our own. We work in your staging by pull request, under your accounts, and in production only through access you grant and can revoke.
Where are you based?
Datics is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with a named lead engineer and US-hours overlap on every engagement.

How do you build an AI audit trail you can reproduce?
An AI audit trail records who or what made each change, with which inputs and model, so reviewers can tell AI entries apart and reproduce any output.

How do you enforce tenant isolation beyond database rows?
Tenant isolation beyond database rows means boundaries per field and per role, in caches, files, payments and jobs, so no tenant sees what another owns.
