The Problem
If you are a business owner, division leader, defense contractor, corporate risk manager, federal program office, or independent analyst — you need the same quality of intelligence that large enterprises receive. Until now, you have not had access to it.
The gap is not about capability. It is about price. Enterprise intelligence platforms require contracts averaging $250,000 or more per year. The organizations that most need structured, sourced, scored intelligence are left with raw news feeds, unstructured data, and AI-generated answers with no methodology behind them.
News aggregators deliver volume, not analysis. No sourcing standards. No scoring. No structured assessment you can defend.
A junior analyst costs $80K–$120K annually. Tasking senior staff to monitor geopolitical risk pulls them from mission-critical work.
Palantir, Recorded Future, and similar platforms start at $250K and require dedicated staff to operate.
What You Have Been Using Instead
Palantir · Recorded Future · Flashpoint
Best-in-class, but contracts start at $250K and require dedicated staff. Built for organizations with intelligence divisions.
Feedly · Meltwater · Custom RSS
Raw information volume but zero analytical structure. No sourcing methodology. No scoring. You still do all the analysis.
Perplexity · ChatGPT · Think tanks
Fast and capable — but unstructured output, no confidence scoring, no revision trail, and no methodology you can cite or defend.
See the difference for yourself. We ran the same topic through Perplexity Pro and CIFaaS. 18 confidence-scored claims. 3 probability-weighted scenarios. 372 sources. Side by side. View the comparison →

Regulatory Convergence — 2026
Three AI governance deadlines converge before September 2026: CMMC-for-AI framework status to Congress (June 16), Colorado AI Act enforcement (June 30), and EU AI Act high-risk provisions (August 2). All require organizations using AI for consequential decisions to demonstrate auditability, transparency, and governance. CIFaaS was built for this requirement.
