The Privateer's Charter · MMXXVI

Strike fast.
Ship true.

We are a veteran-owned engineering crew commissioned to deliver AI, machine learning, and hyper-automation for federal agencies and the prime contractors who serve them.

No headcount-by-the-hour. No subcontracted oceans. Just engineers who write code, sign contracts, and stand the watch.

Our North Star · Why we sail

Mission is the only
margin that compounds.

We exist for one reason: to enable government to leverage emerging technology and drive beneficial outcomes for the public. That sentence is our heading. Every contract, commit, and invoice is checked against it.

01
Mission over margin

We measure success by the difference we make for the public, not the line at the bottom of the ledger. Margin pays the crew. Mission steers the ship.

02
Outcomes, not headcount

We do not bill bodies by the hour. We are commissioned for results — working software, in production, serving the mission from day one.

03
Public good, in the open

What we build for one agency, we publish for all of them. Taxpayer-funded work should compound across government, not get locked in a vendor's vault.

The Flagship · Argus

A hundred
eyes on the
pipeline.

Argus is our open-source security platform — eleven scanners, one workflow, SARIF straight to GitHub Security. Built so federal teams can adopt secure-by-default CI without a six-month integration project.

v0.7.2 · AGPL-3.0
argus.huntridgelabs.com

11 scanners.
1 workflow.

Responsible Stewardship · The taxpayer's money

Cut waste.
Not capability.

Real efficiency is precision work. Done well, it strengthens the mission instead of starving it — and it's earned through engineering, not guesswork. That's the only kind of savings we put our name to.

Precision, not guesswork
Engineered stewardship
Automate the toil; redeploy people to the mission
Replace license lock-in with open source
Small outcome-based teams, not bloated T&M
Measure twice, cut once — with the data to prove it
Retire dead systems on a planned, tested transition
Savings that compound because the mission keeps running
Selective by charter
We don't chase every contract.

We take the work that moves the mission forward — and we pass on the work that doesn't. We're deliberate about who we team with, because our name ships with the code.

Mission-aligned, or we respectfully pass
Teaming partners we'd vouch for by name

“Every dollar saved is weighed against mission capability. We never cut muscle to hit a number.”
The stewardship rule
Open Source · Publish first, lock in never

The work, in the open.

We default to open. What we build for one agency, we publish so the whole government can use it — and so you can read it before you trust it.
