HOW IT WORKS
Use the same AI models. Copy our prompts. Download the same public rules. You still can't build Skumu.
Every regulated dollar in the country has the same problems for applicants: rulebooks written to be nearly unreadable, regulatory and compliance needs to satisfy the rules and a long public record of past winners and losers.
01 · THE ENGINE
We have the rules, executed.
We built a massive, scalable rules engine that enforces the regulatory and compliance rules of public capital: hundreds of deterministic rules that run a program's scoring and some hardcore math behind it all, executed the same way every time. An AI didn't build the Skumu rules engines or the corpus behind it, we did, and that's why the answer you get is the rules themselves, executed correctly.
Any public program is thousands of pages of scoring rules, math and eligibility tests. We compile a program into deterministic checks and fire every one against your applications the moment it loads and again each time the work changes internally and externally. When a record is incomplete, our engines don't hallucinate a number, we use the same determinations the way the public agency runs them internally and deliver the missing data you need and tell you what to fix and how to fix it.
02 · THE CORPUS
The public record is easy to get. Knowing who won and why isn't.
Public capital is the rare market that already published decades of who won and who lost. The scores are a search away but the reasoning behind them isn't. We hold that outcome record — including the applications that lost, which matters, because winners alone can't tell why some top-scoring deals still missed. That's the difference between repeating what a rule says and knowing how it gets applied.
It deepens with every round an agency publishes and in every program we point Skumu’s engines at. Our mission is to help our customers win some of the trillions in public capital available.
03 · THE HARNESS
The Skumu harness is the company.
Without the harness, our engines and data corpus would be a locked vault. At Skumu, our harness is how we create governance: nothing enters the official project record without a human approving it, so nothing runs on stale evidence and every answer traces back to its source. We bring each party's real work — the applications, the evidence, the approvals — into one system along with the scoring rules, the regulatory and compliance needs and the public records, all pointing at one job: clearing what blocks the deals from happening. This is the shape every regulated deal shares, no matter what the public program funds.
We built it for the hardest rules in the country. Now point it at the other $900 billion.
A trillion dollars a year goes out through public programs, and every one of them is its own thicket, whether it's energy, grants, infrastructure, transit or housing, each handing out tens of billions, each locked behind its own rulesets. Nobody had built the platform that reads them until we did.
We're already running betas for EV infrastructure against California Energy Commission programs. One rulebook proved it and there are hundreds, so it's the same engine for every regulated dollar in the country.
