From AI mandate to operating capability.
Soxoa advises, evaluates, builds, governs, and teaches. The work starts by making the decision legible: what should change, who owns the outcome, what evidence will count, and which risks have to remain visible.
The result might be a portfolio and roadmap, a bounded pilot, an implemented workflow, a training program, or a combination. In every case, the recommendation, test, controls, and handoff remain inspectable.
Five decisions, from intent to accountable operation
Frame the mandate
We define the outcome, accountable owner, affected people, operating constraints, and the decisions AI may support before discussing a product.
Map the work and select the use case
We examine the workflow, systems, data, exceptions, and current evidence so the first move is useful, bounded, and proportionate to the risk.
Write the proof plan
Together we set representative tests, success and stop criteria, human review points, data boundaries, and the evidence needed to make the next decision.
Implement what clears the bar
We evaluate credible options, configure or build the narrowest viable system, connect it to the operating environment, and test it on approved work.
Govern, train, and transfer
We document controls and exceptions, prepare the people who will operate and oversee the system, and leave a clear owner, runbook, and next-decision record.
The discipline stays consistent across the work
The decision comes before the tool
We start with the outcome, authority, workflow, and constraints. A recommendation can be to buy, build, narrow the use case, sequence prerequisites, or stop.
Evidence comes before scale
Claims become test cases and acceptance gates. A pilot earns a wider rollout through documented performance, not enthusiasm or a vendor demo.
Controls live inside the work
Human review, escalation, access, monitoring, and exit conditions are designed into the operating workflow rather than added after deployment.
Capability stays with your team
The engagement leaves named owners, decision records, operating documentation, and role-specific training—not an unexplained system only a consultant can run.
The operating conditions are not fine print
Confidential work starts with boundaries
Mutual NDAs are standard. Access, acceptable test material, retention, and vendor-onboarding requirements are defined before sensitive work begins.
Your operating context is part of the design
Architecture, data handling, access controls, procurement constraints, and existing systems are treated as inputs—not cleanup after a tool has been selected.
Senior people stay close to the work
Strategy, evaluation, implementation, and training are led hands-on. Decisions do not disappear through layers of account management.
Accountability remains human
AI can prepare, retrieve, classify, draft, or recommend. Named people retain authority for exceptions, consequential judgment, approval, and escalation.
Inspect the work, not a wall of claims
Checkable, today
Soxoa makes its operating record visible through live products, published methods, and inspectable examples. Here is what can be checked today.
Two products running in public
MentionedOn and Intakra are live, and each publishes its dataset and methodology so the headline numbers can be checked rather than taken on trust.

One method, three focused practice areas.
Choose the capability closest to the decision in front of you. Complex mandates can combine implementation, public-sector delivery, and training under one workplan.
What you bring, and what remains after we leave
What you bring
- The mandate, operating problem, or decision that needs to move
- People who understand the work and can own the outcome
- Approved examples, system context, and known constraints
- Relevant policy, security, privacy, procurement, or workforce requirements
What leaves with you
- A recommendation with assumptions, trade-offs, and a decision record
- An evaluation or pilot record tied to written success and stop criteria
- A working system or an actionable operating plan, depending on the mandate
- Controls, runbooks, training materials, ownership, and the next decision
The questions that come up first
What kinds of mandates can Soxoa take on?
Soxoa works across AI strategy, use-case selection, tool evaluation, implementation, governance, and role-specific training. An engagement can cover one of those capabilities or combine them under one workplan.
Do you sign NDAs or work under our vendor terms?
Yes. Mutual NDAs are standard, and vendor-onboarding requirements can be reviewed before substantive work begins. Public-sector procurement, authority, and security requirements remain controlled by the agency or contracting body.
Do we need a technical team to work with you?
Not for every engagement. We can lead evaluation, implementation, and enablement, but we do need access to the people who understand the work and can make decisions about data, exceptions, approvals, and ownership. When technical teams are involved, we work inside their architecture and delivery standards.
How is pricing structured?
The workplan and commercial structure follow the mandate, so Soxoa does not publish prices for its own work. A bounded commercial one-workflow implementation, training, advisory, ongoing delivery, and public-sector work are each scoped around the audience, systems, governance requirements, and deliverables, with scope, price, and terms agreed before work begins.
Do we have to start with the free automation assessment?
No. The no-cost assessment is an optional entry path for a clearly bounded commercial automation question. Strategy, training, ongoing advisory, and public-sector engagements usually begin with a working conversation about the mandate and constraints.
Bring us the decision that needs to move.
A working conversation is the right first step for strategy, training, ongoing delivery, or public-sector work. If your question is a bounded commercial automation opportunity, the no-cost assessment remains available as an optional diagnostic.
