Capability Statement
Thorium Development Group is a veteran-owned small business in Tampa, Florida. We build production AI systems for environments where the output faces an unforgiving standard — a government template, an engineering tolerance, an acceptance criterion — and “mostly right” is worthless.
Production pipelines that take unpredictable input (Word, Excel, PDF, scanned and legacy formats) and produce structured, validated data. Built for environments with no tolerance for silent error.
Usable structure from legacy technical documentation, engineering drawings, and defense technical-data standards (S1000D, MIL-STD-3001 family) — figures and illustrated parts data, not just prose.
Every AI output traceable to its source. Guardrail and automated-review layers so AI output can meet government acceptance criteria — extraction joined to a verifiable checking layer, not unaudited model output.
Automated completion of customer-mandated Word/Excel templates that must conform exactly to the original format for government submission.
Semantic search and knowledge-indexing pipelines for corpora where ordinary keyword and embedding matching break down.
Architecture through production operations; systems carried from prototype into operational use in both government and commercial settings.
All work is architected and delivered by the founder: 20+ years of software engineering and engineering leadership, hands-on throughout.
Six years USAF (Korean linguist/translator; Joint Service Commendation Medal); five years as a Technical Director at the National Security Agency, delivering enterprise analytics platforms supporting 30,000+ government users and 2,000+ internal applications.
Current client revenue from production AI systems in daily use.
Self-funded feasibility work against real Distribution Statement A Navy technical manuals preceded TDG's Navy SBIR Phase I proposal (DON26BZ05-NV078, submitted Sept 2026).
NIST SP 800-171 / CMMC Level 2 (Self) path; DCAA-aware timekeeping and job-cost accounting in place.
Designed and operates a production platform that ingests jobs, resumes, and pursuit correspondence via email-routed AI agents; extracts structured facts from Word/Excel/PDF; scores candidates against labor-category rule sets; and completes mandated submission templates exactly to format.
Interprets civil engineering drawings and produces automated cut-and-fill calculations — structured extraction from technical graphics.
Persistent organizational knowledge with automated review that reduces hallucination and enforces standards on AI coding agents.
Led engineering for a multi-chain trading platform processing $500M+ in volume.
