What we bring to the kickoff.
Not a pitch deck β a gap analysis. A plan we can start the moment the conversation ends, through a scoped engagement to a real FedRAMP High ATO, and reaching federal buyers together.
A forward-looking proposal from public information β not a claimed deal, commitment, or endorsement.
Gap analysis β engagement β ATO β federal GTM.
00Publish the study, scope the gap
Now Β· 0β30 days- Publish this cited study so our team is aligned on Knox's model, leadership, and track record from day 0.
- Bring a concrete gap analysis to the kickoff: where π€« One Platform's consent kernel and receipt ledger already satisfy NIST 800-53 High controls, and where real work remains β the honest starting point, not a sales pitch.
01A scoped authorization engagement
1β3 months- Engage Knox to run the authorization pipeline against π€« One Platform β the same 90-day, fraction-of-cost model already proven on Celonis.
- Hemant Baidwan's team reviews the architecture against real FedRAMP High control requirements β the fastest way to know exactly what 'in pursuit' still requires.
02Authorization, then the case study
3β9 months- Target a FedRAMP High ATO for π€« One Platform β converting an honestly-stated pursuit into a real certification our compliance pages can state as shipped.
- A public case study for both sides: Knox proves the model works on a genuinely novel architecture (consent-first, edge-owned compute), not just conventional SaaS.
03Sell together into government
9+ months- Reach federal agencies through Carahsoft, the channel Knox already trusts and government already trusts.
- Extend the same track toward DoD Impact Levels, stated honestly at every stage β never claimed before an assessment says so.
One engagement, scoped honestly.
We are not asking Knox to take our word for βconsent-first.β We are asking for the same rigor Hemant Baidwan brought to DHS and the FedRAMP Board β point the authorization pipeline at our actual architecture, and tell us honestly what it takes to convert βin pursuitβ into certified. Everything above is a plan we can start on our side the day the kickoff ends.
