40–60%
Reduction in documentation processing times in early CAYG deployments, fewer errors, smaller backlogs, faster FEMA submissions.
How Deloitte brought compliant, secure, streamlined disaster relief operations onchain.
Deloitte's Close As You Go™ platform replaces fragmented, paper-heavy FEMA reimbursement workflows with a permissioned AvaCloud L1, cutting documentation processing times by 40 to 60 percent for state and federal agencies.

The scale of the problem
3
Layers of government, federal, state, and local, coordinating in a single shared, permissioned environment instead of across fragmented systems.
100%
Of records, modifications, and approval steps captured in immutable audit trails meeting FEMA reimbursement and cross-jurisdictional compliance requirements.
Disaster relief was the wrong place for paper.
When a disaster strikes, federal, state, and local agencies have hours to coordinate. Under the legacy system, that coordination happens across email, PDFs, spreadsheets, and three different document-management systems. Reimbursement claims get rebuilt by hand, multiple times, by different agencies, looking at slightly different versions of the same data.
Close As You Go™ (CAYG) is Deloitte's answer: a shared, permissioned environment where every party works against the same record. AvaCloud provides the substrate, a deterministic execution environment with built-in KYC/KYB, audit-grade event capture, and the operational standards a federal client needs.
What's onchain, and what isn't
Sensitive recovery data does not belong on a public ledger. The permissioned L1 ensures only known parties see only the records they have authority over.
- Onchain: event records, claim states, modifications, and approval steps. The immutable audit trail FEMA reimbursement requires.
- Off-chain: the documents and PII themselves, in agency systems, referenced by content hash.
- Cross-jurisdictional: federal, state, and local agencies operate in the same environment, with role-based access enforced at the network layer.
Why AvaCloud
Deloitte's customers are federal and state agencies. AvaCloud manages the underlying infrastructure, the rolling updates, the monitoring, the SOC 2 posture, so Deloitte can focus on application logic and the workflow improvements clients actually buy.
