Contact
We would be glad to hear from you. If your team is trying to understand what open source you depend on, decide what to adopt, prepare for SBOM or compliance review, set governance rules, evaluate AI tooling, or define how to engage with a community, reach out and we can talk through what would be useful.

What to send
What happens next
We will read what you send, clarify the shape of the work, and suggest a practical next step. That may be a focused assessment, a governance setup, implementation support, or a conversation about whether The Ranger Group is the right fit.
Pricing & engagement shape
We do not publish a fixed rate card because the right scope depends on the decision, stakeholders, timeline, and procurement path in front of your team. We will clarify the shape of work before proposing a budget.
A short, fixed-scope review of an open source dependency question, SBOM need, adoption decision, AI tooling concern, or governance gap.
A small engagement designed to prove value, reduce risk, and create a usable artifact before a larger procurement or program commitment.
Policies, decision rights, review paths, workshops, and lightweight operating routines that teams can actually follow.
Practical help turning recommendations into repeatable workflows, training, stakeholder alignment, and internal practice.
For state, local, education, and government-adjacent teams, a pilot, assessment, or limited purchase order can be a better first step than a broad proposal. We aim to work as a practical partner: understand the procurement context, communicate value to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and avoid asking teams to buy more than they are ready to use.
We work with public sector teams, universities, nonprofits, civic technology groups, government contractors, and mission-driven enterprises. Public-sector teams can also review the state and local open source readiness path.
Not ready to reach out?
The checklist can help your team gather useful details before a compliance review, adoption decision, SBOM conversation, governance effort, or AI tooling evaluation.
AI questions
Review the AI and open source governance path if the decision involves models, frameworks, dependencies, licensing, procurement, or internal use policy.
