Primary question
Do you know the problem but not the lane?
Start here when the problem is real but the right lead entity is not obvious yet.

Path briefing
Back to all pathsNot Sure Yet path
This lane exists because strong teams often know the stakes before they know the exact lane. The first meeting should reduce ambiguity, not punish it.
What is at stake
A surprising amount of momentum dies in the handoff between recognizing the problem and deciding who should even take the next meeting.
Primary question
Start here when the problem is real but the right lead entity is not obvious yet.
Likely lead
ASG is the right place to start when the shape of the work is still mixed. The job of the first call is to make ownership clearer, not force certainty too early.
What gets sorted first
ASG turns a mixed problem into a clean next move by sorting the lane, the review threshold, and the people who need to be in the room.
Primary concerns
Inside the route
The route pages are where the stakeholder view gets more specific and the handoff logic becomes tangible.
Scenario
Leaders with a live problem that may touch legal review, security review, infrastructure, or application delivery, but without a clear lead team yet.
Typical next move
Start with ASG. Bring the problem as it is. The purpose of the briefing is to leave with a clean lead team and an actual next step.
Once the route is visible, the handoff goes to the right operating entity and the work stops feeling like an abstract AI conversation.
What this lane is really sorting
What gets blocked first
People hesitate because they do not want to bring the wrong team into the conversation or sound under-formed in front of specialists.
What has to be true
The briefing has to be useful even if the final route is not obvious yet. That means sorting the review context, the deployment context, and the ownership model quickly.
Why ASG first
ASG is designed for exactly this moment. It keeps you from self-diagnosing the organization chart before anyone has heard the actual problem.
Proof in context
Routing posture
ASG exists to organize the first call and route it cleanly rather than pretending every problem belongs to one generic delivery team.
Role map
The split after that call stays explicit: MRI: IC and defense work with cybersecurity, CMMC, or restricted-environment deployment requirements; IPSA: private legal AI; AISF: standards and governance; ASI: IP development and AI product innovation; Agent Xero: application delivery.
Outcome
The goal of this path is not a long discovery ritual. It is a crisp handoff and a better second meeting.

MRI's public site lists Reston, VA, CAGE 10S34, and CMMC Registered Practitioner status. It also says cleared personnel for delivery are confirmed during contracting and highlights secure-enclave and air-gapped delivery environments.

IPSA's public site positions private-cloud or on-prem legal AI for research and matter workflows, with coaching and evaluation up front and source-grounded outputs at the core of the product story.

AISF was formally incorporated as a 501(c)(6) in November 2025. It houses the AI security standards work already underway through MRI's IC and defense engagements, and is building an AI Security Controls Matrix mapped to NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, ISO/IEC 42001, and OWASP guidance. Manbir Gulati, founding director and president, authored the AI evaluation methodology AISF now publishes as open standards.

ASI is the IP development and innovation engine within the ASG operating model — taking ideas into top-end AI products, owning the intellectual property, and building the systems that move from concept into production-grade delivery.
Supporting entity
Agent Xero's public site centers private software delivery, code review, and custom builds for teams that need product and application execution rather than infrastructure work alone.

First briefing
These are usually the details that make the lead team, review context, and next move obvious without turning the call into a long discovery loop.
