1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,563
What happens after a Department
of Defense audit finding lands?

2
00:00:05,603 --> 00:00:08,298
Somebody has to own it, fix it, prove it,

3
00:00:08,338 --> 00:00:11,234
and hand a reviewer a
package that holds up.

4
00:00:11,674 --> 00:00:14,308
The plan lives in one tracking system.

5
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:20,150
The proof lives in spreadsheets and shared
drives, rebuilt every time someone asks.

6
00:00:20,590 --> 00:00:22,315
The same findings come back.

7
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:25,152
The Department's inspector
general counts six

8
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:28,178
hundred twenty-two reissued
seven years running.

9
00:00:28,618 --> 00:00:32,500
Tracepoint is that workspace, at
Technology Readiness Level six.

10
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:35,748
The file goes in as it came
out of the source system,

11
00:00:35,788 --> 00:00:39,425
everything in it has its own
place, the corrections are made

12
00:00:39,465 --> 00:00:43,102
inside it, and the reviewer
package comes out the other end.

13
00:00:43,542 --> 00:00:47,469
A unit's property book goes in
as it came out of GCSS Army.

14
00:00:47,509 --> 00:00:51,704
Tracepoint fingerprints the file
and shows what it will create.

15
00:00:52,542 --> 00:00:55,018
It names every problem row by number,

16
00:00:55,058 --> 00:00:58,825
including six serial numbers
that appear more than once.

17
00:00:58,865 --> 00:01:01,749
Nothing is created
until a person confirms.

18
00:01:04,842 --> 00:01:10,523
Today opens on plain truths the book
is held to, each naming its regulation.

19
00:01:10,963 --> 00:01:13,345
The product makes suggestions from fixed

20
00:01:13,385 --> 00:01:16,069
rules written into it,
with the source shown.

21
00:01:16,109 --> 00:01:18,551
There is no artificial intelligence here.

22
00:01:18,991 --> 00:01:24,437
A person accepts or declines, and either
choice goes on the trail under their name.

23
00:01:26,591 --> 00:01:30,587
The guided walk carries a clerk
through the audit's own tests:

24
00:01:30,627 --> 00:01:34,753
an existence count, a completeness
sample, a reconciled balance.

25
00:01:38,193 --> 00:01:40,256
Findings come in the same way.

26
00:01:40,296 --> 00:01:42,850
This public file holds every open GAO

27
00:01:42,890 --> 00:01:46,355
recommendation on Department
financial management.

28
00:01:46,795 --> 00:01:51,406
And the unit's own finding: duplicate
serial numbers on the property book,

29
00:01:51,446 --> 00:01:55,239
part of a material weakness
since fiscal twenty twenty-three.

30
00:01:55,279 --> 00:01:57,753
A person confirms the control it breaks.

31
00:01:58,192 --> 00:02:03,025
The corrective action gets a dated
step, or the eMASS export refuses it.

32
00:02:03,065 --> 00:02:05,259
Evidence is hashed as it arrives:

33
00:02:05,299 --> 00:02:08,914
the duplicate records, and
the report that lists them.

34
00:02:09,592 --> 00:02:11,557
One export builds the package.

35
00:02:11,597 --> 00:02:15,033
A reviewer opens it with
nothing installed and reads

36
00:02:15,073 --> 00:02:18,643
the finding, the action, the
hashes, and who did what.

37
00:02:20,592 --> 00:02:21,387
We measured.

38
00:02:21,427 --> 00:02:24,587
Ten thousand findings
became a complete review

39
00:02:24,627 --> 00:02:27,788
package in under eight
seconds, on one laptop.

40
00:02:28,228 --> 00:02:30,821
Five hundred deliberately broken rows were

41
00:02:30,861 --> 00:02:33,517
handled exactly as
written down beforehand.

42
00:02:33,957 --> 00:02:38,436
A package restores into a cleared
workspace with every decision intact.

43
00:02:40,457 --> 00:02:44,628
The recorded path from import
to export took fifteen clicks,

44
00:02:44,668 --> 00:02:47,646
three file choices and
one typed step name.

45
00:02:47,686 --> 00:02:52,068
Limits: one machine, synthetic
data, no independent review yet.

46
00:02:52,508 --> 00:02:54,394
Why us over the alternatives?

47
00:02:54,434 --> 00:02:57,782
Other platforms sit above
the unit, and below them,

48
00:02:57,822 --> 00:03:01,701
GAO says, the work lives in
spreadsheets and shared drives.

49
00:03:01,741 --> 00:03:05,487
Tracepoint is built for the
person who holds the finding,

50
00:03:05,527 --> 00:03:08,742
and nothing we found
combines these three things.

51
00:03:09,182 --> 00:03:14,407
Because a reviewer can check it without
us: every record, every evidence hash,

52
00:03:14,447 --> 00:03:18,389
and the trail in order, with
a digest anyone can recompute.

53
00:03:18,829 --> 00:03:21,138
Because nothing closes on its own.

54
00:03:21,178 --> 00:03:25,215
A finding closes when a named
person confirms the evidence.

55
00:03:25,655 --> 00:03:30,929
And because Tracepoint is local and yours,
on a machine a unit already has on hand,

56
00:03:30,969 --> 00:03:35,986
with no network calls and its own software
approval, every data right is yours.

57
00:03:36,426 --> 00:03:40,758
The model is an annual site license
for one reporting entity's workspace,

58
00:03:40,798 --> 00:03:44,111
from a section to a headquarters,
with no per-seat fees.

59
00:03:44,151 --> 00:03:48,483
A battalion license fits under the
micro-purchase threshold; larger units

60
00:03:48,523 --> 00:03:52,974
buy through simplified acquisition,
sole source, or Tradewinds Marketplace.

61
00:03:53,414 --> 00:03:57,319
The team: our CEO, a veteran
who saw these inspections

62
00:03:57,359 --> 00:04:01,482
from inside a unit, and our
COO, a corporate executive of

63
00:04:01,522 --> 00:04:05,573
fifteen years with a history
of fixing what audits find.

64
00:04:06,013 --> 00:04:11,119
Under the Department's readiness
guidebook, Tracepoint is at TRL six.

65
00:04:11,559 --> 00:04:15,081
TRL seven needs an
operational environment.

66
00:04:15,121 --> 00:04:17,318
And that will be the pilot.

67
00:04:17,758 --> 00:04:21,640
Maturation is fixed-price
milestones over twelve months.

68
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,453
Phase one, a live pilot with one reporting
entity and the manual baseline measured.

69
00:04:27,493 --> 00:04:31,164
Phase two, the full findings
population, with exports

70
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:35,086
validated against live eMASS
and NFR Database workflows.

71
00:04:35,126 --> 00:04:40,549
Phase three, sustain through the audit
test period with an independent review.

72
00:04:40,989 --> 00:04:43,069
When the third milestone is met,

73
00:04:43,109 --> 00:04:46,513
maturation ends and the
standard license takes over.

74
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:51,862
We need one reporting entity, its
register, and its normal review chain.

75
00:04:51,902 --> 00:04:56,261
If this is a problem you own, we
would welcome the conversation.

76
00:04:56,301 --> 00:04:57,911
Thank you for your time.
