MIKE KOMOROUS / PRINCIPAL ADVISOR

Principal-led delivery on every engagement.

BACKGROUND

Before the deadline
panic starts.

I know what proposal pressure looks like from the other side of the table. I have seen the decision memos, the budget logic, the staff conversations, and the evaluation habits that determine whether a contractor gets taken seriously.

I built DoD Industry Advisor to give small businesses access to that judgment before the deadline panic starts.

NDA-first, private, evidence-backed, senior-only, scoped to outcomes, and conflict-free.

Private AI enclave

AI-accelerated research runs on private on-premise hardware with zero commercial LLM exposure.

Evidence-backed

Every material claim carries a citation to a primary source.

Conflict-free

DIA does not represent competing bidders on the same program. If a conflict emerges, we disclose and decline.
