Turn scattered AI ideas into an OMB-ready inventory — without the annual scramble.

Keystone is where every Commerce bureau submits AI use cases, catches duplicates before they're funded, and produces the report in the exact format OMB reviewers require. Governance built in, not bolted on.

How it works

From a submitted idea to a funded, reportable use case, in three steps.

Submit

Plumb walks a submitter through a short intake in about two minutes, asking the follow-up questions a reviewer would.

Vet & de-dupe

Every use case is checked against what's already in flight across bureaus, so duplicate effort gets flagged before it's funded twice.

Fund & report

Leadership reviews a role-based roll-up of the portfolio and exports the current OMB inventory in one click.

What Keystone does

Purpose-built for the AI use case pipeline federal governance actually requires.

AI-guided intake

Conversational intake that captures the substance of an idea while it's fresh, and leaves the governance record for reviewers to complete during vetting.

Built-in OMB inventory

Every field the OMB inventory requires has a home in the data model, so the record is filled in as a use case is vetted rather than backfilled at year end.

Cross-bureau duplicate detection

Flags overlapping or duplicate efforts across bureaus before they're funded twice.

One-click OMB inventory export

Generates the OMB inventory export in the exact format reviewers require, no manual reformatting.

Role-based roll-up

Submitters, reviewers, and leadership each get a dashboard scoped to what they're responsible for.

Why it holds up

Built to the OMB inventory field set

Every field the OMB inventory requires is mapped field-for-field, and completed by reviewers during vetting rather than demanded of submitters up front.
