🎯 Overview
- Client Role: Mona P., Certified and Licensed Healthcare Provider
- Sector: Medical Products & Services
- Region: South Carolina
- Use Case: Navigating state procurement policy disruption
- Tools Used: ARCemedes chatbot + Qwilla AI
🧩 The Challenge
In response to evolving federal guidance, the State of South Carolina began reviewing and preparing to potentially discontinue a long-standing procurement listing program. The client’s business—listed in that program—depended on this system for visibility and contract access across state departments.
“I never imagined I’d be decoding state procurement jargon in a government meeting. But when the process was preparing to block my small business from qualifying for other contracts I knew we could handle, I realized something had to change. With the ARC Framework — and a well-timed assistance from Qwilla AI — I didn’t just make sense of the system. I learned how to reframe the rules, ask the right questions, and recover the visibility we’d lost. This is how ARC helped me cut through the noise and make the meeting count.” – Mona P.
She had a high-stakes meeting scheduled with a primary contact at the State Office—but lacked both procedural understanding and a strategic entry point.
“I didn’t understand the internal procedures. I had no idea what to say.” – Mona P.
🛠️ The ARCemedes🐙 / Qwilla AI 🦎Intervention
Instead of entering the meeting unprepared, the client used Qwilla AI paired with the ARCemedes chatbot to:
- Clarify what was changing versus what could be leveraged
- Research state procurement structure and policy triggers
- Generate 10 targeted, high-leverage questions to use in her meeting
⚡ Client “Eureka!” Moment
“When I shared those questions, the official said: ‘These are REALLY great questions.’ That changed everything.” – Mona P.
🌟 The Transformation
From confusion → clarity. From risk → momentum. From uncertainty → strategic leverage
From confusion to clarity. From policy risk to strategic repositioning.
By using ARC to organize her thinking and Qwilla to surface the right questions, the client reframed the meeting from a reactive conversation into a proactive strategy session.
She walked away with:
- A revitalized sense of control in a complex bureaucratic system
- Clear direction on how her services could be integrated into other procurement pathways
- Direct referrals to other state departments
“Thank you, Qwilla. You’re awesome.” – Mona P.
