Government ERP was still run on spreadsheets, vendor demos, and gut feel. Then the spreadsheets got challenged in public records requests. The gut-feel decisions didn’t hold up.

Why we built it

Not a product we sell to other consultants. The backbone of how we work.

Every pain point traced to an outcome. Every requirement scored against a vendor response. Every health-check finding backed by evidence. You hand them the evidence, not an apology.

Purpose-built for government

Workflows, requirement libraries, and scoring rubrics designed for public-sector procurement rules, compliance, and scrutiny, not adapted private-sector tooling.

Procurement · Compliance

Connected, not siloed

Discovery flows into outcomes. Outcomes inform requirements. Requirements anchor scoring. Scoring feeds health checks. Every finding is traceable.

Single thread

AI that earns its keep

Interview guides, demo scripts, health-check synthesis, every AI finding cited and confidence-scored. Humans make the calls. The platform makes them defensible.

The pipeline

Every engagement follows a single thread.

Six steps. One record. Caliber runs all of them.

01 · Discover

Discovery

AI-guided interviews. Pain points scored. Current-state captured.

02 · Define

Outcomes

Pain points become measurable outcomes with KPI baselines.

03 · Specify

Requirements

1,400+ government-specific requirements across 25 modules.

04 · Evaluate

Demos

Scenario-based scoring on five dimensions. Auto-fill from vendor knowledge.

05 · Score

Scorecard

Weighted ranking: requirements and outcomes, priority-adjusted.

06 · Monitor

Health Check

Upload status reports. AI synthesizes a 10-domain assessment.

IV&V Compliance

Contract baseline tracking, deliverable monitoring, and deviation documentation, so the advisor can verify what the SI cannot verify about itself.

In the interface

Every score traces back to the evidence that produced it.

A live capture from a sample engagement, shown at full size so you can actually read it. Every finding cited, every score traced back to the requirement that produced it.

Sample engagement · one outcome, at full size
A single Caliber outcome at full size: the measurable statement, the generated vendor prompt, current-versus-target baselines, an honest not-vendor-certified flag, and lineage back through eleven discovery pain points
Inside the product

Two more surfaces, one spine.

Discovery and evaluation run on the same record as the health-check and IV&V modules listed above. Every capture below is a sample engagement, not a mockup.

Modules 01 & 02 · Discovery

The requirement starts as somebody's actual problem.

Discovery captures what is going wrong in the work itself — the area it sits in, how often it bites, what it costs — and rates it. Requirements are generated from that evidence rather than from the system being replaced, so every one of them traces back to a problem a named function reported.

Structured intakeSeverity and frequencyTraceable to requirements
Sample engagement · discovery pain points
Caliber discovery: 46 pain points across three functional areas, nine rated critical or high, each with the functional area, a plain description of the problem, severity, frequency, and business impact
Module 04 · Vendor evaluation

Forty-seven platforms in the library. You shortlist from all of them.

The market is already loaded, categorised, and searchable, so a shortlist is a decision rather than a research project. Scoring priorities are set per functional area before any vendor is scored, which fixes the weighting before anyone has seen a demo.

Security

Built for public-sector scrutiny.

Caliber runs on StateRAMP-certified Azure Government: isolated projects, strict access control, enterprise AI with no training on your data, and audit trails on everything.

Infrastructure

Azure Government

StateRAMP-certified cloud infrastructure built for state and local government workloads.

Access

Role-scoped accounts

Only invited accounts get in. Roles at system and project level. Activity logged.

Isolation

No cross-project access

Projects are isolated by design. No user sees data outside their assigned projects.

AI privacy

Not training data

Enterprise AI under data processing agreements. Your data is not used to train models.

Transit

TLS 1.2 or higher

All data transmitted over TLS 1.2+. HTTPS with certificates that auto-renew.

Reliability

Backups every 6 hours

Automated backups, process monitoring with auto-restart, and rate-limited endpoints.

We’re going to be honest about where this is.

Caliber is in beta. It runs our internal pilots and shapes how we work with clients. It is not a shrink-wrapped product, and we’re not pretending otherwise.

If you’re a government leader staring down an ERP selection, a troubled implementation, or a modernization program that’s drifted, a 30-minute briefing will tell you whether Avèro + Caliber is the right fit.

Common questions

What agencies ask about Caliber.

What it is, what it is not, and how it handles public-sector data.

What is Caliber?

Caliber is the AI-native platform Avèro Advisors built to run government ERP engagements. It connects discovery, outcomes, requirements, vendor scoring, implementation health, and IV&V in a single record, so every recommendation traces back to the evidence behind it. It carries more than 1,400 pre-built government requirements across 25 functional modules covering finance, HR, procurement, asset management, utilities, and public safety.

Can we buy or license Caliber?

No. Caliber is not sold as a product and there is no license to purchase. It is the platform Avèro uses to deliver advisory engagements, the way an audit firm uses audit software. Agencies get the benefit of Caliber by engaging Avèro. Work product generated during an engagement, including requirements, scorecards, and reports, belongs to the agency.

How does Caliber handle government data security?

Caliber runs on StateRAMP-certified Azure Government infrastructure built for state and local workloads. Projects are isolated by design so no user sees data outside their assigned engagement, access is role-scoped with activity logging, data moves over TLS 1.2 or higher, and enterprise AI operates under data processing agreements so agency data is never used to train models. Automated backups run every six hours.

Does AI make the decisions?

No. Caliber drafts, scores, and synthesizes. People decide. Every AI finding arrives with a citation and a confidence score, and every score records who set it and why, whether that was the model or a human evaluator who overrode it. An append-only audit trail captures each override with the reason attached, which is the record an agency can hand to a losing vendor or an auditor.

What can Caliber produce for an engagement?

Caliber generates AI-guided discovery interview frameworks, current-state process documentation, measurable outcome statements with KPI baselines, vendor demo scripts, weighted requirement scorecards across multiple vendors, ten-domain project health assessments as branded PDFs, and IV&V compliance tracking against the contract baseline. Each artifact links to the decision it supports.
