ClearOS was founded in 2025 by a former state CIO, a recovering FCA counsel, and the engineer who built the document-processing pipeline at a top-five health insurer. We exist to make government back offices fast, fair, and honest.
Government has been under-resourced for two generations. Backlogs aren't a sign of laziness — they're a sign of arithmetic. We build the layer that closes the gap between citizen volume and civil-service capacity, without compromising due process.
We measure ourselves on three things: cases per week, override rate, and citizen satisfaction. We publish all three.
