Web Platform

One workspace for the whole federal market: the budget, the contracts, the opportunities and the intel around them, all linked. Follow a dollar from the budget line to the office that spends it, the contract, the next bid and the protest. No query language, no spreadsheet wrangling.

Ask Hitch

Every page carries a built-in AI analyst. Ask in plain English. Ask Hitch pulls from budgets, contracts, opportunities and the people behind them, and cites every claim to the record.

02 — The Hitch MCP

Answers your AI can use, not raw rows.

Most federal-data MCP servers hand your AI the same USAspending and SAM.gov fields you could download yourself. Ask one for the top vendors at NAVSEA and it stops at "Department of the Navy." Hitch hands your AI the structure an analyst builds by hand, so the first answer is the useful one.

What your AI gets	Free API wrappers	Other GovCon MCPs	HitchAI
Vendor families	Parent tree at best	1 of 9	Whole corporate family — subsidiaries and joint ventures — rolled into the totals
Agency down to the office	Stops at the department	1 of 9	Office codes, funding vs. contracting side
Contract vehicles	One contract at a time	3 of 9	Vehicle pages: holders, ceiling, top buyers
Opportunity value and award date	—	3 of 9	Estimated range, basis and confidence — labeled as estimates
Incumbent	—	2 of 9	The contract on record, or a labeled prediction
The solicitation, read for you	—	4 of 9	Clearance, CMMC, award basis, CLINs, page limits — with the quote
GAO bid protests	Rare	4 of 9	Docket and decisions
DoD budget line items	—	0 of 9	RDT&E, Procurement, O&M and MILCON, to the project
Congressional marks	—	0 of 9	HASC, SASC and House appropriators, with bill status
DoD daily contract announcements	—	0 of 9	Searchable, by company and date
Selected Acquisition Reports	—	0 of 9	All 42 FY 2027 MSARs

“Other GovCon MCPs” counts how many of nine commercial servers offer what the HitchAI column says, from their published tools and docs; free wrappers were tested live. Highlighted rows: no other MCP server we tested offers them. October 2026.

One chain, one server

Follow a dollar from the budget line, to the office that spends it, to the contract, the next opportunity and the protest — in one conversation.

Honest about what it knows

Every estimate says it is an estimate, with its basis. A missing value reads “not stated,” never “no.” Answers carry their as-of date.

Works where you work

Claude and any MCP client. Up to 119 read-only tools on one key: your AI can look anything up and change nothing. Some domains depend on your plan.

On the server

Budget, contracts, opportunities and the intel around them, linked, so your AI can follow one question across all of it.

03 — Approach

From raw data to competitive advantage.

Ingest

We pull from authoritative federal sources — budgets, contracts, subawards, and entity registrations — and normalize them into one model.

Reconcile

Every figure is validated and traceable. Obligations stay signed, levels never get summed, fiscal years never get crossed.

Curate

We build class-leading vendor, agency, and contract-vehicle hierarchies — the connective structure most sources never provide.

Connect

AI extracts and links entities across every source, so budgets, contracts, and the companies behind them read as one picture.

Analyze

We turn the data into a thesis — where the money is moving, who's winning, and where your shot is widest open.

Deliver

Feed, dashboard, deck, or memo — in the format your decision actually needs, when it needs it.

04 — About

The story behind HitchAI.

Why “HitchAI”?

We needed a snappy name for a platform grounded in the FYDP. Charles Hitch was the economist who introduced program budgeting in Robert McNamara's Pentagon — the discipline that became the Future Years Defense Program. Let's just call him the Father of the FYDP, and leave it at that.

Who's behind it

HitchAI was founded in July 2026 by Kevin Brancato. Kevin believes strategic market intelligence should be in the hands of every defense and federal contractor — and that AI is making that possible.

Why work with Kevin

Ph.D. Economist — George Mason University
10 years at RAND — weapon-system costs & manpower management
10 years at Bloomberg Government — defense analysis & business-intelligence tools
5 years at TechnoMile — a next-generation Growth & Contracts platform

05 — Pricing
