Public Sector: Real-Time Federal Oversight

Partner: Keithston (Federal Oversight Agency)

The Challenge:

  • Critical procurement patterns buried in slow, expensive data warehouses

  • Weeks of batch processing required to surface vendor relationships and spending anomalies

  • Oversight always retrospective—problems identified after millions already misallocated

The Skadera Solution:

  • Analyzed 960K+ government contracts in real-time

  • Natural language queries through Claude: "Show contracts awarded to vendors connected to flagged entities"

  • 3D visualization revealed hidden relationship networks invisible in flat reports

The Result:

  • $47M in questionable activity identified within first 90 days

  • Insights that took weeks now surface in seconds

  • Data warehouse bottleneck eliminated entirely

  • Oversight shifted from reactive to proactive
