For USAEDC members
AI for export programs,minus the reporting grind.
Your team spends weeks a year assembling UES, MAP, FMD and RAPP reports by hand. Those hours should go to the markets.
For FAS cooperators, commodity groups, and state regional trade groups: in two weeks I set up one reporting workflow on your own data, and your staff signs off on every figure.

Your problem
Can AI write our UES, MAP, FMD and RAPP reports?
The draft, yes. It assembles the results summary from your own trip reports, invoices and market data, cites each figure, and flags the ones that conflict. Your staff signs off before anything goes to FAS. The reporting itself keeps growing.
U.S. agricultural exports reached $176.3 billion in fiscal 2025, and the programs that promote them keep growing. MAP is funded at no less than $200 million a year, FMD at $34.5 million, and RAPP added $300 million a year in 2024 and 2025 (Congressional Research Service). Every dollar comes with reporting, and no one is funding another headcount to produce it.

My fix
Four AI systems built for FAS cooperators
MAP, FMD and RAPP reporting that assembles itself
The numbers and activities you already track get pulled into UES, MAP and RAPP formats automatically. Your team reviews and approves.
Instant answers from your own export-program data
Ask a question in plain language and get the answer out of your own files, instead of hunting across shared drives and three years of inbox for the number a board member asked for.
Market intelligence for your priority markets
Hundreds of sources monitored across languages, with the relevant few surfaced daily. The morning news triage stops being somebody’s job.
A searchable archive of your missions and market reports
Years of market reports and trade-mission debriefs in one place you can search. The knowledge stays when staff move on.
Where to start
Start with an AI automation audit: two weeks, one workflow
Before any retainer, a Reporting and Data Audit. I map where your team's UES, MAP and RAPP hours go, find the data nobody can reach, and set up one workflow on your own data. You keep it, plus a written plan with costs for the next steps.
US$5,000 to $7,500 depending on team size, as of November 2026. Fixed before we start.

Common questions
AI for cooperators: questions members ask
Can AI help with MAP and RAPP reporting?
Yes. Most of that work is assembling data you already hold into the format FAS asks for. It is repetitive and rules-based, which is what AI does well. Your team reviews and approves before anything is filed.
Why does the reporting keep growing?
Every UES cycle asks for more documentation. MAP and FMD activities have to be measured and defended. RAPP added a second layer of grant administration on top of the first. Congress funds MAP at no less than $200 million a year and FMD at $34.5 million, and USDA added $300 million a year through RAPP in 2024 and 2025. Every dollar comes with reporting, and nobody is funding another headcount to produce it.
We're a small cooperator staff. Is this too much for us?
No. The system is sized to the team you have. I build it alongside your people, and you own it when the engagement ends.
Do you work with state regional trade groups as well as cooperators?
Yes. Cooperators, commodity groups, and SRTGs all carry the same reporting and data burden, at different scales.
What does it cost to start?
The Reporting and Data Audit is US$5,000 to $7,500, fixed before we start, and takes two weeks. Ongoing work runs as a retainer from $10,000 a month.
Does this replace our people?
No. It removes the busywork so your people can spend their time on the work only they can do.
