- Regulatory posture. VCDPA in force; federal contracting AI requires FedRAMP/CMMC + Section 508 accessibility. Our compliance memo precedes every production deployment.
- Talent + competitive density. Federal contracting, defense, finance, biotech, and data centers drive Virginia. The senior-engineer scarcity in VA is exactly why outside delivery beats in-house ramp for most accounting firm AI builds.
