WHAT CHANGES WITH GTOS

The core assets arrive together. By day 30, the company has an owned working system and qualified live work is in production or delivered when a suitable opportunity exists.

BUYING PATHWAY

Problem owners, current money, instruments, evidence events, and transition owners are ranked for company attention.

BD CONTROLS

Approved claims, proof, boundaries, eligibility, and compliance posture become reusable company assets.

A WRITTEN PURSUIT STANDARD

Each opportunity has a decision, owner, endpoint, company burden, and stop condition before work expands.

QUALIFIED WORK IN MOTION

A suitable live opportunity moves through approved material, defined review, delivery, follow-through, and capture.

INSTALL THE SYSTEMOPERATE THE WORK

STAGE 1: INSTALL

Build the market thesis, buyer and funding map, approved narrative, evidence record, pursuit standard, and reusable response system.

  • Company-owned capture library and decision record
  • Templates and workflow for recurring government artifacts
  • Eligibility, compliance, and security posture mapped to live lanes

STAGE 2: OPERATE

Qualify live work, produce buyer-ready responses, coordinate partners, follow through with decision owners, and capture the result so the next pursuit starts stronger.

  • One owner for each admitted pursuit
  • One weekly decision session for executive commitments
  • Exact result-state and company-exposure tracking

BUILT FOR THE COMPANY AND THE CAPITAL BEHIND IT

The same operating record supports company execution, board oversight, portfolio diligence, and the next allocation of runway.

FOR FOUNDERS AND OPERATING EXECUTIVES

INSTALL A FUNCTION THE COMPANY CAN KEEP

Kedge installs and operates GTOS inside the company. The system protects engineering and leadership capacity, turns the market thesis into a written plan, and leaves the company with the operating assets and record.

FOR INVESTORS AND PORTFOLIO SUPPORT

TEST THE PIPELINE BEFORE IT DRIVES A CAPITAL DECISION

Kedge can review whether a portfolio company’s government pipeline has real buyers, current money, decision-grade evidence, a defined company burden, and a funded-transition owner. Kedge also supports portfolio companies that need the government growth function installed and operated.

THE OPERATOR BEHIND GTOS

THE METHOD COMES FROM THE WORK

Tim Chrisman is the author of Government Traction, which publishes the operating logic behind GTOS. The system draws on government BD run hands-on across 20 organizations, from pre-seed startups through Series C and the federal arm of a global prime.

That work spans autonomy, counter-drone, directed energy, space, quantum sensing, defense software, and enterprise AI. Tim personally reviews every diagnostic submission.
