How it works

APDGPT guides you through each stage of APD creation with a clear, structured workflow. It brings together your information, team input, and compliance requirements in one place. The result is a fast, predictable process that produces complete, submission-ready APDs.

What the process looks like:

Collects your project details and past documents to establish context and automatically build the foundation of your APD.
Generates structured APD content using CMS-aligned templates and guided prompts tailored to your agency’s needs.
Enables real-time collaboration and review so teams can refine sections, add details, and approve updates in one shared workspace.
Validates every section for compliance and produces a polished, submission-ready APD with export options for CMS review.

common questions

We’re here to help you understand APDGPT.

Cadet’s APDGPT evolves with you, learning your processes and giving your team the power and capacity of a much larger organization.

What types of APDs does APDGPT support?

APDGPT supports Planning (PAPD), Implementation (IAPD), Update (UAPD), and Operational (OAPD) APDs. It also imports past APDs, SS-As, RFPs, and project documents to build consistent, reusable content for new submissions.

How is APDGPT licensed?

Licensing is flexible. Agencies can license APDGPT as a standalone product or as part of the larger CADET platform. Options include annual subscriptions, multi-year agreements, or enterprise bundles with other service packs like RFPGPT or ExcelerPlan.

Where is APDGPT hosted?

APDGPT is hosted on U.S.-based, FedRAMP-aligned cloud infrastructure with strict data residency requirements. All information stays within the United States, and no AI training ever uses customer data.

Does APDGPT require any installation or special hardware?

No. APDGPT is fully browser-based and works on standard government laptops and networks. Agencies simply log in via their existing SSO provider (Okta, Azure AD, SAML, etc.) and begin working.

What kind of support is available?

Agencies have access to a secure 24/7 support portal, onboarding sessions, documentation, and training resources. Priority support is available for enterprise deployments or resellers working with multiple states.

Can APDGPT help us track performance or update APDs over time?

Yes. APDGPT includes dashboards, document history, and performance tracking to monitor cost, timeline, staffing efficiency, and progress toward APD outcomes. This makes updates and reporting far easier than manual tracking.

Will APDGPT continue to evolve?

Yes. The platform is built to expand with new service packs, API integrations, collaboration features, and AI capabilities. APDGPT already integrates with the broader CADET ecosystem, and future releases will add deeper automation for procurement, performance management, and governance.

What does a reseller get with the APDGPT reseller program?

Resellers get discounted licensing, co-branded collateral, access to demo environments, and priority support for sales and delivery. Because agencies using APDGPT have seen up to an 80% reduction in APD development time and over 400 staff hours saved on a single APD, you’re walking in with a very tangible value story for procurement and modernization deals.

How does APDGPT fit into my existing services?

APDGPT fits neatly alongside strategy, enterprise architecture, PMO, MITA work, and system integration. You can use it to accelerate APDs you’re already writing, bundle it with transformation roadmapping, or anchor a broader “AI-enabled planning and procurement” offering.

Do I need a deep APD or CMS background to sell this?

No. APDGPT bakes the structure, checklists, and compliance guardrails into the product. You need to understand the problem agencies face and how the tool solves it; the detailed APD and CMS language is generated and guided inside the platform.

What kind of onboarding support do resellers receive?

Cadet provides enablement sessions, demo scripts, sample APDs, positioning guides, and help on early sales calls. For bigger pursuits, we can co-present with you to shape the offering, address technical questions, and align APDGPT to the state’s roadmap.

Is there a clear ROI story I can share with clients?

Yes. In addition to the time savings, a state deployment of the broader CADET platform (with APDGPT as a core component) projected around 85% ROI within three years and over $1.2M in annual efficiency gains by reducing outsourced APD/RFP work and eliminating rework.

How much technical work is required from my team?

Very little to get started. APDGPT runs as a secure, hosted solution with SSO and basic configuration handled during onboarding. Deeper integrations (SharePoint, Teams, EA tools, Jira, etc.) can be added as upsell services if you or the agency want them.

Can I bundle APDGPT with other Cadet products?

Yes. Many resellers position APDGPT together with RFPGPT (RFP generation), RespondNow (vendor response automation), and ExcelerPlan (cost and benefit modeling) to cover the full lifecycle from planning through procurement and performance. This creates larger, stickier engagements and multi-year revenue instead of one-off projects.

How does APDGPT actually help my agency?

APDGPT accelerates the entire APD process-drafting, collaboration, compliance checks, approvals, and exports. Agencies using APDGPT have documented up to an 80% reduction in APD development time, turning multi-month efforts into days or weeks.

How is APDGPT secured to meet federal and state compliance requirements?

APDGPT meets or exceeds federal standards through FedRAMP-aligned hosting, SOC 2 Type II controls, multi-factor authentication, and granular RBAC for all users. Data is encrypted using TLS 1.3 and AES-256, stored only within U.S. regions, and protected by strict isolation across tenants. Every change, access event, and edit is logged to support CMS, MITA, FISMA, and state oversight audits, ensuring sensitive planning information remains fully secured and compliant.

Can multiple teams work together inside APDGPT?

Absolutely. Program, fiscal, IT, vendors, leadership, and reviewers can collaborate in one secure workspace. Every change is tracked, roles control what each person can see or edit, and version history keeps everything organized for review and audit.

How hard is it to onboard our agency?

Most agencies can begin creating APDs the same day the platform is activated. SSO, roles, templates, and permissions are configured during onboarding, and Cadet provides support to get your first APD underway quickly.

Does APDGPT help with audits or federal reviews?

Yes. APDGPT maintains audit-ready records, including version history, approvals, comments, rationales, and document lineage. This eliminates manual reconstruction during CMS or oversight reviews and increases transparency across the APD lifecycle.

Can we integrate APDGPT with our existing tools?

Yes. APDGPT integrates with AWS, Snowflake, SharePoint, Teams, Slack, Active Directory/Okta, Jira, Confluence, and EA tools. It is designed to fit directly into your existing stack and workflows without requiring system changes.

What kinds of APDs can APDGPT generate?

APDGPT supports Planning APDs (PAPD), Implementation APDs (IAPD), Update APDs (UAPD), and Operational APDs (OAPD). It can also ingest previous APDs, SS-As, procurement documents, and roadmaps to generate new content quickly and consistently.
