About

Built from the front lines of federal BD

Crucible Insight was founded by acquisition and BD professionals who got tired of doing proposal screening by hand. We build the tools we wished existed — purpose-built for the complexity and compliance demands of government contracting.

Our stack combines battle-tested AI models (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google) with deep domain logic: evaluation criteria templates, FAR/DFAR compliance mapping, multi-stakeholder review workflows, and continuous CMMC compliance management.

We ship fast and learn from real users. DARA started as a WordPress plugin, proved the value, and is graduating to full multi-tenant SaaS. COM is being shaped by the DIB contractors who actually live inside CMMC programs.
