Scotty isn't a startup, it's the evolution of two decades of excellence. Built by The Performa Group, we have spent 20 years developing the trusted, unified data foundation (the BIDS Data Universe) that powers government budgeting. Scotty is how government finance leaders explore, understand, and apply Government Budget Intelligence, built on that same foundation of security and one trusted view across government.
Our Foundation
For over two decades, The Performa Group has been the silent backbone of government financial infrastructure. We built BIDS (Budget Intelligence & Decision System) and the financial reporting tools that state and federal agencies rely on daily.
Scotty AI was born from a simple insight: our clients didn't need another dashboard. They needed an intelligent partner that could translate decades of financial data into clear, actionable decisions in seconds.
This isn't a pivot or a rebrand. It's a natural evolution, the same mission-critical standards applied to a new frontier.

Executive Biography
A visionary leader at the intersection of government finance and digital transformation.

His conviction: that the same rigor that built the BIDS Data Universe could be applied to artificial intelligence, not to replace human judgment, but to help experienced professionals spend less time reconciling data and more time reaching better decisions.
"We didn't build Scotty to replace legislative expertise. We built it to give that expertise a 10x multiplier in speed and precision."Brendan Hayes, CEO of The Performa Group
