The Lab Model Is Industry Neutral
We stand up applied AI labs across industries. The stages do not change, and neither does what a lab is made of. What changes is the vocabulary, the business systems it connects to, and the regulations it has to respect.
If you want to know what a lab builds, the use case pages are the better place to start. They are organized by function, since the work carries across industries.
Where We Work
Each page covers the pain points we hear most in that industry and the use cases that address them.
A SEPARATE PRACTICE
Aerospace, Defense & Government Contracting
This is where we proved the model, in a heavily regulated environment. In this sector, FAR and DFARS, cost accounting standards, DCAA audit exposure, earned value management, ITAR, and CMMC shape what a lab is permitted to build. That practice has its own section, its own accelerators, and its own compliance posture.

A reconciliation problem in a hospital and one in an aerospace supplier are largely the same problem in different vocabulary. Start here.
Common Questions
- Do you only work in certain industries?
- No. The lab model is industry neutral. It works wherever there is defined, high-volume work sitting on top of a business system that already holds the answer, which covers the industries we have worked in so far. What changes between one and the next is the vocabulary, the systems, and the regulations the lab has to respect.
- What if our industry is not listed?
- The list reflects where we have done the most work rather than the limit of where the model applies. If your business runs on enterprise systems and your teams are carrying a backlog of repeatable work, the model fits.
- Do you build industry-specific solutions or generic ones?
- Mostly specific, since the value sits in fitting your process rather than an average of everybody's. The accelerators we have already built give you a head start where one matches, and the lab extends it. Where none matches, the lab builds against your requirements from the start.
- Can you work with our existing ERP?
- Yes. We integrate with SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, NetSuite, and other major platforms, and with the CRM, HCM, PLM, and data systems around them. Connectors are built during stand-up, and you do not have to modernize anything first.
- What compliance frameworks do you support?
- It depends on your industry: SOC 2, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, FDA and GxP, FedRAMP, CMMC, ITAR, and FAR and DFARS among others. The compliance posture is established during stand-up. For aerospace, defense, and government contracting there is a dedicated practice with its own section.
- How is Mach12 different from a traditional consulting firm?
- A consulting firm sells you a project and leaves with the capability. We build the capability into your organization and hand it over. The deliverable is a lab that keeps shipping after we scale down.
- Do you work with mid-size companies or only large enterprises?
- Both. The model scales down cleanly. A smaller company usually has fewer systems and shorter decision paths, which often means the first build ships sooner than it would at a large enterprise.
- We operate in several industries. Does that complicate things?
- Not much. The lab is built once and applied across the portfolio. Multi-industry and multi-entity organizations often see more value from a single lab than from separate efforts per division, since the patterns and the platform get reused.
