## Products & Services

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue — approximately $45 million (source: ZoomInfo, likely 2024-2025 estimate). Total headcount reported as 305 (ZoomInfo, -1.6% YoY) or 511 (Built In, possibly broader definition). Conflicting headcount data exists; the lower figure likely reflects core employees, while the higher may include contractors or broader workforce.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep government expertise**: 40+ years of experience working directly with CMS and state Medicaid agencies, creating high barriers to entry for competitors.

- **Multi-state footprint**: Provides services in 16 states, with physical offices in Arizona, Hawaii, Florida, and California.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expanding federal and state contracts**: Recent award of the QIN-QIO 13SOW contract signals continued investment in Medicare quality improvement.

- **Data-driven quality improvement**: Emphasis on advanced analytics and informatics to support federal and state program goals.
