A structured 45-minute conversation that maps your real capability, where the federal market fits, and what it will honestly take to win work. Every Maybury Global engagement starts here — because everything downstream depends on getting this right.
They pick NAICS codes in ten minutes on SAM.gov, chase bids that look interesting, and wonder why the results are inconsistent. The federal market rewards specificity. Guessing is expensive.
The assessment is a conversation, not a form. We work through six areas in 45 minutes and finish with a written summary of what we heard.
Deliverables, not marketing. The specific work your team is best at — the version a contracting officer would need to hear. Scope, units, equipment, team size, geographic reach. Anything a proposal or capability statement would eventually need to reference.
Past performance, federal or commercial. Contract or client name, dollar value, period, and outcome. This is the evidence that everything downstream — codes, pursuits, proposals — will be built on.
SAM.gov registration, past bids, previous consultants, prior awards. If you stepped away from GovCon before, we want to know why — what worked, what did not, and where the friction actually was.
Target contract size, target agencies if any, target timeline. Whether you are trying to win a first federal contract, scale existing federal revenue, or team as a subcontractor with a prime. Different goals mean different next steps.
Back-office posture — accounting, HR, contracts, cybersecurity. Cash position and financing history. Certifications and socioeconomic status. What is ready today and what needs to be ready before award.
Some companies leave the call with a recommended engagement. Some leave with a clear no — federal is not the right market for them yet, or ever. Both are legitimate outcomes. We tell you which one we heard.
One page describing what your company actually does, written the way a federal reader needs to see it. Yours to keep, whether you engage further or not.
Honest assessment of whether the federal market fits your capability today, later, or not at all. With reasoning.
What is in place today across codes, past performance, back office, and capital — and what would need to change before pursuing federal work seriously.
The one or two services that would move the needle first. Sometimes that is us. Sometimes it is not, and we say so.
How long the recommended path actually takes. Not "get started today" pressure. Honest weeks and months, so you can plan.
If it makes sense to work together, a scoped proposal with fixed pricing. If it does not, a short note explaining what we would recommend instead.
The first 45-minute assessment call is free. No cost, no obligation, no follow-up drip campaign. If a deeper engagement makes sense afterward, we quote it in writing with fixed pricing. If it does not, we say so.
No catch. The assessment is free because we cannot honestly recommend a service until we know your situation, and you cannot honestly evaluate us without a conversation. Both sides need the same 45 minutes. Some assessments end with an engagement; some end with a "not yet" or a "not us." Both are wins for us.
Helpful if you can bring: a rough list of what you do, any past performance you can speak to specifically, your SAM.gov status if registered, and any prior federal experience. Not required. If none of that exists yet, that is exactly what the assessment is for.
Jameel Hasan, founder. Every first assessment is with the founder. That does not change as the company grows — the entry-point conversation is the most important one, and we do not delegate it.
We tell you plainly, explain the reasoning, and — where we can — point to a better fit. State and local procurement, commercial channels, or a specific vertical that matches your capability better. The wrong recommendation would cost you money and cost us reputation. Neither is worth it.
Usually within a week. The scheduling link at the top of the page shows real availability.
