Engagement Model & FAQs

CBC takes a contractor-style approach rooted in senior expertise. Here’s how CBC works with government, industry, and cross-sector partners.

  • No. Candice is the principal on all client work, but CBC operates like a small contractor. When an engagement requires additional expertise, we bring in senior professionals with deep government or private-sector experience.

  • Both. CBC’s work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and public-private partnership. We support tech companies navigating government and policy and government stakeholders navigating emerging technology. CBC is the bridge between the two.

  • CBC scales like a contractor: if the effort requires additional capacity or specialized expertise, we assemble a senior team tailored to your needs and led directly by Candice. In other words, clients get Candice plus a senior bench — never an outsourced or junior team. Clients always know exactly who is working on their project.

  • Traditional firms often sell clients on senior leaders while delegating execution to junior staff. CBC’s model is intentionally different and high touch — you get senior-level strategy and delivery throughout, with transparent staffing and no surprises.

  • Yes. CBC supports organizations operating across multiple levels of government and helps tech and policy leaders navigate the nuances between them.
