RIGHT FIT ADVISORS / MARYLAND
Public sector AI work needs a defined purpose, approved information and staff who understand when to review or escalate an output. RFA supports scoped AI adoption and training discussions for organizations in Maryland, connecting intended use with agency responsibilities, technical access and practical operating controls. Staff search should lead to inspectable source material rather than an unsupported policy conclusion.
Discuss your Maryland priorities ↗YOUR OBJECTIVE COMES FIRST
Maryland Commerce highlights life sciences, cybersecurity and IT, advanced manufacturing, logistics and artificial intelligence among its key industries. Use sector context to ask employers and program partners better questions, rather than assume every organization has the same need. An employer discussion about research-support project intake can examine a project brief, approved source collection and access request and identify the people who own the work. Public objectives, approval authority and the agreed service scope determine what follows.
Maryland Department of Commerce: industry context ↗Describe the administrative work, intended users and the decision the proposed tool supports. Distinguish drafting, search or intake assistance from an authoritative determination. The agency should establish the permissible use and accountable owner before implementation.
Identify approved sources, sensitive records and the environments in which tools may operate. Confirm access and review requirements with agency owners. A proposed connection must fit the supported interfaces and procurement or security process rather than assume unrestricted data access. Working example: Approved source register and retrieval test set.
Build practice around representative tasks, insufficient evidence and incorrect outputs. Explain source checking, appropriate information use and escalation. Training should distinguish a fluent answer from an answer supported by the approved material. For research-support project intake, agree how project leads, information owners and technical support contribute where those functions are involved.
Agree a first user group, acceptance evidence, support owner and change process. Review output quality and staff effort, including corrections. Wider adoption should follow agency review rather than depend on demonstration quality alone. Review check: Review source support and unanswerable cases.
THE RIGHT FIT APPROACH
Review the public objective, task, users and constraints. Establish the decisions, information and approvals required for a bounded first scope. Bring representative questions and approved source examples.
Connect the approved technical approach with task examples and review instructions. Test ordinary and difficult cases with the staff who will use the tool.
Review results, corrections and operating questions against the agreed criteria. Assign support and change responsibilities before expanding use.
DELIVERY ARRANGEMENTS
Plan Maryland delivery with the people responsible for the work. RFA coordinates from Miami, Los Angeles and Atlanta; remote sessions, collaboration hours and any requested site visits are agreed around your systems, access requirements and delivery scope.
PLANNING THE ENGAGEMENT
Define the permissible task with agency owners. Locating and summarizing approved guidance should not be assumed to authorize policy interpretation or an official decision.
Do not assume that authority. The agency must define permissible use, accountable decision makers and required review. Administrative assistance and an authoritative determination are different scopes.
Training should show how to inspect supporting sources, recognize missing evidence and escalate uncertainty. The review approach should match the consequences and intended use of the output.
No. This page describes potential service scope. Any engagement, procurement eligibility, required authorization and contracting process must be established separately with the agency.
