Question 1

What does Kraken Federal do?

Accepted Answer

We rebuild government contractors in three steps. Reset: strategy, pricing, story and marketing. Grow: pipeline, capture and proposals. Run: four operating systems so the company does not break when you win. We also do ISO implementation and the AI Strategic Assessment.

Question 2

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Founders of government contractors who are starting up the right way, or who have stalled and cannot see why.

Question 3

Where does an engagement start?

Accepted Answer

With a reset. We rebuild your strategy, your story and your marketing from the past performance you actually have, before we touch the pipeline.

Question 4

What are the four operating systems?

Accepted Answer

Contract launch, delivery, cash and hiring, and decision rights. Together they let a new contract start, run and get paid without every decision going through the founder.

Question 5

Do you write proposals?

Accepted Answer

We manage the proposal from strategy through review. We can run it with your own team or bring in writers and graphics support, depending on your budget and what you have in-house.

Question 6

How does Kraken Federal help with ISO certification?

Accepted Answer

We are an ISO implementer. We build your management system around how your company actually runs, train your team, conduct the internal audit and get you ready for the certification audit. An independent certification body audits you and issues the certificate. After that, we can conduct your internal audits and get you ready for each surveillance audit.

Question 7

What is the AI Strategic Assessment?

Accepted Answer

A ten-business-day review that finds where the business is losing owner time, pipeline and margin, and shows which of those problems AI actually fixes. You keep the roadmap whether or not you build anything with us.

Question 8

Who will I work with?

Accepted Answer

Tom Prokop leads every engagement. He founded a government contracting firm, won more than 70 contracts and grew it past $10 million and more than 100 employees.

Question 9

What sets Kraken Federal apart?

Accepted Answer

We have sat in your seat. Tom Prokop founded a government contracting firm, scaled it past $10 million in revenue and more than 100 employees at its peak, and exited. The advice you get comes from an operator who has made payroll, priced the bid and lived with the result. We also work further up the chain than most consultants: pricing, positioning, financials and the business behind the pipeline, not only the proposal. And we treat your business as if it were ours.

Question 10

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Tell us where the business is today. We will tell you what we would fix first.
