GovCons can discover how firms of all sizes and types are adapting to challenges and using AI to reshape growth, operations, forecasting and risk management, based on proven strategies from firms that are staying compliant and profitable.

The GAUGE allows GovCons to benchmark their company to their peers in five key areas:

G – Government compliance: Business systems, efficiency, and audits 

A – Accounting: Margins, indirect costs, and DSO 

U – Utilization: Resource planning maturity, project management, and roles 

G – Growth: Win rates, proposals, resources, and challenges 

E – Efficiency: Wrap rates, fringe, and the impact of resource management 

This presentation will focus on special insights for small businesses as well as the special theme for the 2025 GAUGE Report of resource and operational maturity of high-performing GovCons. The data underscores how firms are embracing centralizing project management offices (PMOs), AI-powered tools, and scalable systems to support growth across multiple programs and locations. The report provides benchmarking data and best practices rooted in real-world performance, from compliance to forecasting.
