Your program, running on schedule
Once a program is live, the work is volume: submissions arriving, reviewers to coordinate, sessions to run, and a community to keep informed. We carry it, with every session captured and every action on the record.
More decisions, less legwork
Open on time, with your history intact
Prior cycles are moved over and checked, the platform is set to your rules, and the team does a dry run before the first submission lands.
Nothing lost between the room and the record
Workshops, pitch days, and selection sessions are captured as data while they happen, right next to the submissions they’re about.
A field that stays engaged
Performers, partners, and reviewers stay connected after the call closes, so the next one doesn’t start cold.
We didn’t get what we wanted out of this workshop. Instead, we got something much, much better.
What’s included
Configuration and onboarding
The platform set to your program’s rules: stages, roles, permissions, and criteria. Staff and reviewers are walked through their part, and the whole setup gets a dry run before launch.
What the office walks away with: A platform that works the way your program was designed, a team ready on day one, and a launch date that holds.
Example: AFWERX and SpaceWERX, where Mission Success helps ready and open each new Challenge.

Data migration and validation
Prior cycles, records, contacts, and decisions moved over from wherever they live now and checked against the originals.
Program management
Day-to-day operation of your program: intake monitored, reviewers kept on schedule, questions answered, and the record kept current.
Workshops and events
Workshops, pitch days, and selection sessions designed and run, with the discussion captured as structured data and summarized back to your office.
What the office walks away with: A decision and a record of why, the same day.
Example: The SO/LIC Accelerator Event, where more than 700 submissions led to same-day pitches and seed funding.

Strategic communications
Outreach to the field you need, in the places they already pay attention: branding, content, channels, and a public program website kept current.
What the office walks away with: A program the right companies have heard of before the call opens, and one place to send everyone.
Example: The Department of the Air Force Digital Transformation Office, where Mission Success has run branding, content, and the public site since the office began.

Community and ecosystems
Performers, partners, reviewers, and future applicants kept connected between cycles, with community management and recognition that gives them a reason to stay.
What the office walks away with: A field that is already engaged when the next call opens, not one that has to be rebuilt.
Example: The Guardians and Airmen Innovation Network, which connects innovators across the Air Force and Space Force.

Every session, submission, and score in one place
Sessions, submissions, scores, and outreach all land in the platform your program runs on, so there’s nothing to reconcile at the end of the cycle.
Source
Every submission in one place, scored in place, with session decisions recorded next to the entries they were about.
Acquire
For funding programs, the cycle runs here from topic publication through proposals to award, on one timestamped record.
Intelligence
What your program learns about the problem and the field, saved with its sources for the next requirement.
The AFWERX Challenge has run on Collaboration.Ai software continuously since FY18, with program design and facilitation alongside it the whole way. More than 8,000 solutions have come in as of June 2026, and the program reports 200 contract awards.
Every stage, one team
The same people can be there before the program opens and after the awards are made, and what happens in each stage is already in the record for the next.
Plan
Isolate the right problem and the right people. Everything before the solicitation opens: the problem statement, who should see it, and how a submission will move from intake to award.
Win
Carry the best ideas toward the field. Everything after the awards: the performers supported, the recurring work turned into something the office reruns, and the record ready before the next cycle opens.
More submissions than hands? We can help.
A call opening next month, a selection event to run, or a cycle that has outgrown the team. We’ll show you where ours fits.
Contracting vehicles
Direct award pathways, no new competition required.
Collaboration.Ai’s prior SBIR work makes it eligible for sole-source Phase III awards. Under 15 U.S.C. § 638(r)(4), those awards may be made without further competition.
Where Phase III does not apply, we’ll work with your office to find the contracting pathway that fits. Contracting vehicles →
