You're a new company. Why should I trust you?
Gravitas Grove LLC was incorporated in January 2026, but our team brings over 15 years of relevant experience. Our founder built automated data systems serving 1,000+ users and generated 3.7 million forecasts in rigorous academic research. We've structured our practice specifically for government work, with methodology documentation, reproducibility standards, and audit-ready deliverables. Our pilot program lets you evaluate our work with minimal risk before larger engagements.
What's included in a pilot project?
Pilot projects are focused, fixed-scope engagements designed to demonstrate our capabilities. A typical pilot might include a single Title VI analysis, a housing data assessment, or a custom dashboard prototype. You get the same quality documentation and methodology rigor as larger engagements, with a defined scope, fixed cost, and no commitment beyond the pilot. It's a low-risk way to evaluate our fit for your needs.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary by scope. A focused Title VI compliance analysis typically takes 4-6 weeks. A comprehensive housing needs assessment runs 8-12 weeks. Custom data systems and dashboards range from 6-16 weeks depending on complexity. We provide detailed timelines during the scoping phase and hit our deadlines. Pilot projects are usually 2-4 weeks.
What does a project cost?
We provide fixed-price quotes based on scope — no hourly billing surprises. Pilot projects typically range from $5,000-$15,000. Full Title VI analyses run $15,000-$35,000 depending on agency size and complexity. Housing needs assessments are $25,000-$75,000. Custom data systems vary widely by scope. We can often phase work to fit budget constraints.
Do you have references?
Yes. Client references and detailed project documentation are available upon request for qualified procurement officers. We maintain confidentiality for client identities but can arrange direct reference conversations under NDA when appropriate. Our methodology documentation and sample deliverables are also available during the evaluation process.
What's your security posture?
We follow government data handling best practices including encrypted data transfer and storage, access controls, and documented data handling procedures. All work is performed on secure systems with regular backups. We can work within your agency's security requirements and sign appropriate data handling agreements. For projects requiring specific certifications, we can discuss compliance paths.
Do you subcontract work?
Our core team handles all primary analysis and deliverables. For specialized needs — like certain GIS work, financial auditing, or grant writing — we engage vetted specialists from our professional network. All subcontractors are disclosed and work under our quality standards. You always know who is working on your project.
Where are you located?
Our headquarters is in Mansfield, Illinois. We serve clients nationwide with particular expertise in Midwest markets. Most analytical work is performed remotely, but we're available for on-site meetings, presentations, and training throughout CONUS. Our hybrid model keeps costs down while ensuring face-to-face engagement when it matters.
