AI for government services.
Government services is a named priority sector in Canada’s AI for All strategy, with procurement positioned as a strategic anchor customer. Prior Signal builds trusted, source-traceable, data-resident AI for public-service delivery — and for the suppliers who serve it.
Procurement is the standard now.
When the government makes itself the anchor customer, its requirements become the market’s: privacy, transparency, evidence, human accountability, and Canadian data governance. AI that cannot show its sources or run under those constraints will not clear procurement.
That is the work we already do — built around the test of someone checking it later.
What we build for the public sector.
Trusted agents for service delivery
Intake, triage, document and case review — grounded in the record, cited, and bounded, with humans owning the decisions that affect rights.
FOI / ATIP and public-records intelligence
Request strategy and returns analysis, and structured public-records research that holds up to scrutiny.
AI governance for procurement
Operational guardrails — evidence requirements, prohibited uses, privacy constraints, incident response — that a procurement reviewer can verify.
Data-resident, self-hostable systems
Model-agnostic builds that can run under Canadian governance when residency and sovereignty are requirements, not preferences.

Common questions.
How does AI for All affect public-sector suppliers?
- The strategy positions government procurement as a strategic anchor customer and names government services a priority sector. That makes the public sector's requirements — privacy, transparency, evidence, and Canadian data governance — the de facto market standard. If you sell to government, those requirements are your roadmap.
Where do trusted AI agents fit in public services?
- Intake, triage, document and case review, FOI/ATIP handling, policy and regulatory monitoring, and customer-operations support — work where a grounded, cited, auditable agent helps. Not final eligibility or benefit decisions, which stay with a qualified human.
What about data residency and sovereignty?
- The strategy's sovereign-AI pillar elevates Canadian data governance and self-hostable infrastructure from a preference to a procurement question. We are model-agnostic and can deploy on data-resident, self-hostable systems for sovereignty-sensitive work.
Do you do FOI / ATIP work?
- Yes. FOI/ATIP request strategy and returns analysis is a core capability — scoping requests so they actually produce records, and reading the returns against the exemptions claimed.
