Wargaming & Course-of-Action Analysis Subject-Matter Expert

About Precision Federal

Precision Federal is a Christian-owned small business building AI and software systems for federal agencies through the SBIR program. The founder is a Christian, and the company is run on Christian principles: every number we publish is real, every claim we make is verifiable, and the work is done with excellence as service to God. Every proposal we submit is backed by working prototypes built before we ask for a dollar.

How this role works

1. You join the bench. We name you (with a short bio) on proposals that match this role, always asking you first. Consent costs you nothing and commits you to nothing until an award funds.
2. A contract is awarded. Federal SBIR awards fund the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins, at an hourly rate agreed before you were ever named.
3. You work remote, paid from the contract. ~40–80 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

What you’ll do

• Review our COA generation and comparison models against real staff planning practice.
• Tell us where an automated COA or wargaming aid would produce options a commander would reject.
• Check our claims about planning speed and option quality before an evaluator sees them.

Required qualifications

• Direct experience in operational planning, wargaming, or COA development on a staff.
• Working knowledge of the joint planning process or a service equivalent.
• Willing to be named in a federal proposal with your consent, each time.

Preferred qualifications

• A combatant command, a service war college, or an operations-analysis organization.
• Experience with campaign modeling or analytic wargaming tools.

Compensation & structure

1099 consulting engagement. $100–$125 per hour, confirmed in writing before you are named on any proposal. Hours are funded by federal contract awards — roughly 40–80 hours across a 6–12 month period of performance per funded award, fully remote. No award, no hours, no obligation.

How did you hear about us?

Five questions

These are the substance of the application. Answer from your own experience — a few sentences each is plenty, and “this never came up” is a real answer we want.

1. How often did planning cycles where good options were missed or took too long to compare come up in your work, and roughly what did it cost — in hours, in people, or in rework? *

2. What tool or process does your organization use today for course-of-action generation and wargaming, and where does it fall short? *

3. If a better way to handle course-of-action generation and wargaming existed, which office or role would decide whether to adopt it? *

4. Do you have any role in deciding what tools or systems your organization adopts — approving, evaluating, or recommending a purchase? *

5. Do you own, or hold signing authority for, a company or consultancy of your own? *

May we credit you by name and title in our federal proposals? * Please choose…YesNo
