Overview
Ad Hoc helps federal agencies improve their digital services by forming small, highly skilled teams that handle consulting and development on government projects. They run project-based work where teams gather requirements, design, build, test, and iterate to deliver usable digital services, sometimes open-sourcing components. The firm differentiates itself by focusing on the federal public sector, using open-source tools, and sharing a transparency-focused development process plus a maturity model to help agencies gauge progress. Its goal is to make government digital services easier to use, more accessible, and more efficient for the public.
