GC Procurement Advisor
The first working application prototype of the Policy-Anchored AI framework — tested against Government of Canada procurement scenarios, and available for structured walkthroughs and pilot discussions.
The hardest test for the framework.
Procurement is the proving ground because it stress-tests the framework against everything at once: policy thresholds, trade agreements, security and privacy triggers, procurement vehicles, accessibility, official languages, governance steps — and human accountability.
If the framework can produce a defensible, traceable result there, it can generalize to other compliance-heavy domains.
The framework, instantiated.
An informal request becomes structured facts, resolved against authority, into a traceable path forward.
The intake, made precise
- Commodity
- Estimated / lifecycle value
- Security level
- Personal information
- Duration & users
What actually governs it
- Government Contracts Regulations
- Trade agreements (CFTA · CETA · CPTPP · WTO-GPA)
- Procurement vehicles
- Governance triggers
A defensible path
- Structured requirement
- Obligations triggered
- Open questions surfaced
- Every claim linked to policy
The three disciplines, in practice.
Facts, not assumptions
It separates what was provided, inferred, missing, and provisional — and asks before it concludes.
Authority, resolved
Trade thresholds, security and privacy triggers, vehicle eligibility, and governance obligations are resolved against a structured policy model.
Traceable output
Every conclusion links back to the policy element behind it — reviewable, reproducible, defensible.
From a sentence to a defensible path.
“We need a cloud workflow tool for 200 users to manage internal case review tasks. The system may handle Protected B information including personal information. Estimated cost is $180,000 per year for three years.”
A general-purpose chatbot produces something plausible and untestable. The advisor produces something different in kind: it structures the request, then surfaces the obligations the facts trigger — a privacy assessment for the personal information, security and data-residency considerations for Protected B, trade-agreement thresholds from the lifecycle value, the vehicles the delivery model points to.
Where the facts are incomplete, it says so and asks — rather than baking a silent assumption into a confident answer. Every conclusion links back to the policy element behind it.
What this is — and what it is not.
- A working prototype and first implementation of the framework
- Tested against Government of Canada procurement scenarios
- Available for structured walkthroughs and pilot discussions
- Decision support for procurement officers, who remain the decision-makers
It is not a finished commercial product, and is not represented as production-certified for Protected B. It does not replace procurement officers, and the language model is never the authority for a compliance conclusion. The framework is demonstrated in procurement; it is not claimed as proven across every domain.
