TALON Labs is the govcon intelligence platform from ProdX Labs. Two products: TALON: Ready (digital readiness evaluation) and FORGE (teaming matchmaking). Powered by proprietary UX evaluation methodology — not keyword databases, not templates. Expert-driven analysis backed by Nielsen's 10 heuristics, Gestalt principles, WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards, and 200+ atomic checks.
Founded by Christina Murphy, a UX strategist with 20+ years in design, federal contracting, and SOCOM-adjacent work.
ProdX Labs builds tools for government contractors who are serious about winning. The company partners with Made By Blend for design and development execution.
Digital readiness evaluation — 200+ point website and capability statement scoring for government contractors.
Teaming matchmaking platform — find the right partners based on capability, clearance, and contracting archetype.
Website redesign, capability statement design, and branding — delivered with Made By Blend.
The only govcon teaming platform that matches on capability gaps, clearance compatibility, and contracting archetype — not just NAICS code overlap.
Companies are categorized by contracting personality based on a 25-question assessment.
Companies must demonstrate digital readiness to be matched. Your TALON score determines match visibility and priority placement in the FORGE ecosystem.
TALON evaluations seed the match database. Companies evaluated through TALON: Ready are added as passive profiles, expanding the pool of potential teaming partners even before they register on FORGE.
We evaluate from the outside in — exactly how a contracting officer, teaming partner, or cleared talent prospect experiences your company.

Can they verify your credibility and past performance?
Does your site signal you're a reliable subcontractor or prime?
Can cleared talent find you and see a reason to apply?
Do peers and competitors take you seriously?
