The unfinished job is the quality of evidence entering adjudication.

Market opportunity

VA is processing claims faster. VBB helps make the claims entering that system more decision-ready.

VA is processing claims faster while original claims with eight or more medical issues have grown sharply. Supplemental claims dominate the pending inventory. Those are VA-reported conditions of the mission — not VBB results. The commercial opening is evidence quality upstream of adjudication.

Figures as reported by VA, July 2026. These are not VBB results.

Team

Process. Engineering. Lived experience.

  Leigh Ann Bryson

  Co-founder · Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt

  Leigh Ann owns the process. A Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt with more than thirty years serving the military and federal operating environments, she applied first-pass yield, defect taxonomy, and upstream error-proofing to the military-to-veteran evidence lifecycle. Evidence First-Pass Yield™ is her operating methodology — the engine that maximizes A Promise for a Promise with direct ROI for the people who use the system. It is not a slogan pasted onto a chatbot.

  Tanner Tobey

  Co-founder · Engineering, development, and security · CISSP

  Tanner owns the system. CISSP-certified disabled veteran — combined Active Duty and civil service — and principal engineer for Zero Trust architecture, Azure Government readiness, and the Evidence Gate. He teaches DevOps and Cyber Security at PC Professor in South Florida. Priorities: God, family, and service to veterans. AI is the enabler. The redesigned process is the product.

  Tom Asbury

  Voice of the Veteran

  Tom Asbury's lived experience informs the requirement. A combat veteran whose service includes Somalia (Mogadishu era) and later Iraq and Afghanistan environments, he has spent decades navigating the fragmented military, healthcare, benefits, and civilian systems veterans encounter after service. He identifies the failure points because he lived them. His story defines the problem. It is not used as a marketing prop.

  Jacob Stevens

  Chief Operating Officer

  Jacob is Chief Operating Officer. He turns chaos into order — leadership of products, process, projects, and people, built through quality assurance and senior mobile-application development. At Vet Battle Buddy, he owns pilots, partner conversations, and the operating discipline that takes evidence-readiness from doctrine to a system government can actually run. Data-driven decisions. Humans stay in command.

What is hard to replicate

• Lived combat-veteran journey knowledge — where the system fails the service member and the veteran.
• Federal process expertise — understanding how government actually operates.
• Lean Six Sigma methodology — defects, variation, rework, waste, bottlenecks, measurable yield.
• Evidence engineering — availability, provenance, completeness, decision readiness.
• Technology architecture — automating and scaling the redesigned process.
• Continuous improvement — measuring whether the intervention actually improves outcomes.

Revenue model

• Government and enterprise pilots

  Bounded 90-day evaluations with named Evidence First-Pass Yield measures. Expansion is earned, not assumed.

• Organizational readiness

  VSO and claims-support workflows that keep accredited humans in command.

• Public educational layer

  Free Heat Map builds trust. Detailed reports and journey tracking are earned after value — not a dark funnel.

Diligence, on the record

• Origin: defects first, AI second — the process is the product.
• Team: Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt methodology + CISSP engineering + lived combat-veteran experience.
• Category: evidence readiness and Evidence First-Pass Yield™ — not claims filing, not a chatbot.
• Commercial motion: 90-day bounded pilots with named measures; expansion is earned.
• Proof policy: no invented public ROI, no fictional case studies, no rating predictions.
• Trust: SAM.gov registered, FedRAMP Moderate alignment in progress, human override mandatory.
