Operational-fit doctrine
Defines the conceptual basis of AgencyFit and establishes the evaluation posture for government technology decisions.
AgencyFit Research
Field doctrine, institutional analysis, and operational-fit publications.
AgencyFit research defines the intellectual and practical foundation of the framework. It establishes a disciplined vocabulary for evaluating readiness, understanding operational conditions, and improving decision quality in government technology environments.
Publications support institutional credibility, practitioner alignment, and a shared evaluation language across agencies, vendors, and strategists.
Research focus areas
Evaluation failure patterns
Identifies recurring breakdowns in procurement, modernization sequencing, and vendor-led decision framing.
Capability and workflow interpretation
Examines how real work moves, where authority resides, and how staffing conditions shape adoption outcomes.
Security and governance integration
Establishes how control ownership, compliance, and security realities must enter evaluation earlier.
Publications
AgencyFit publications establish doctrine, clarify evaluation posture, and contribute to a more disciplined public-sector technology discourse.

Full paper available
A foundational paper outlining why government technology decisions should begin with workflow reality, staffing conditions, and execution environment rather than platform appeal or vendor momentum.
Read PaperWhy Capability Must Be Measured Before Modernization
Coming publication
Examines the recurring failure mode in which modernization initiatives assume institutional readiness without first identifying capability gaps, role strain, or workflow fragility.
Coming SoonSecurity Alignment Early, Not Retroactively
Coming publication
Explains why security evaluation should be introduced at the qualifying stage of decision-making rather than treated as a late-stage review.
Coming SoonVendor Accountability in Capability-Constraint Environments
Coming publication
Frames vendor responsibility within environments where staffing, authority boundaries, and operational capacity materially affect implementation success.
Coming SoonThe Case for Shared Methodology in Public-Sector Evaluation
Coming publication
Argues for a common evaluation language that agencies, vendors, and practitioners can use to improve decision quality and adoption outcomes.
Coming SoonWorkload Transparency as a Missing Evaluation Variable
Abstract
Introduces workload visibility as a critical but under-modeled variable in technology adoption.
Core doctrine
Technology should be evaluated as operational fit, not product appeal.
