Core offering

Solve is a research company that addresses critical societal needs through applied innovation, science, and consulting engagements. It delivers research-driven services to institutional clients, including U.S. federal government bodies (e.g., a $200,000 award from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2023). The firm's offerings center on applied research and consulting rather than packaged software or hardware products.

Broad incumbents

• Booz Allen Hamilton: Large federal consulting and engineering firm serving US Department of Energy and other agencies on research, science, and mission-oriented programs; comparable to Solve as a buyer of similar federal R&D work but at vastly greater scale.
• Leidos: Major federal science, engineering, and consulting contractor that competes for DOE and other societal-impact programs; relevant as a much larger incumbent in the same client set Solve addresses.
• SAIC: Large federal IT and engineering services provider serving energy, science, and civilian agencies; competes with Solve on government research and consulting engagements.
• Deloitte (Government & Public Services): Global consulting firm with a large government and public services practice delivering research-backed advisory work; overlaps with Solve's consulting leg but at much larger scale.

Direct peers

• ICF International: Public consulting and digital services firm with deep federal energy, environment, and societal-impact practices; directly comparable to Solve's mix of research and consulting for government clients.
• RAND Corporation: Research institution that produces policy and societal-impact analysis for government and foundations; comparable to Solve as a research-driven organization addressing critical societal needs, though nonprofit.
• Battelle: Applied science and R&D organization that manages national laboratories and runs federally funded research programs; closely comparable to Solve's research-and-science mission mix.
• SRI International: Independent nonprofit R&D organization conducting contract research across societal-impact domains; comparable to Solve in business model (contract research) and customer base (government, foundations).
• MITRE Corporation: Federally funded R&D center addressing critical national and societal challenges; comparable to Solve as a research-driven firm serving public-interest missions.
• Guidehouse: Specialized advisory and consulting firm serving energy, environment, and public sector clients; directly comparable to Solve as a mid-sized federal-focused research and consulting competitor.
