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 Challenge
Disaster relief runs on fragmented systems when speed matters most.
Federal, state, and local agencies each operate with their own systems, documentation standards, and timelines. The fragmentation slows claims, increases administrative burden, and creates room for errors and incomplete submissions, exactly when communities need recovery support fastest.

Layers of government, federal, state, and local, coordinating in a single shared, permissioned environment instead of across fragmented systems.

AvaCloud Solved the Problem
A permissioned, government-grade execution environment for relief claims.
Close As You Go™ is a Deloitte-built SaaS platform that helps demonstrate eligibility and manage documentation required for public assistance disbursement and reimbursement. It centralizes documentation, accelerates review cycles, and improves accuracy for FEMA-facing submissions across state and federal agencies.
AvaCloud provides the compliant, purpose-built infrastructure that powers CAYG. Deloitte created a permissioned environment where only government-authorized entities participate in the workflow, with deterministic, high-performance execution for time-sensitive claims and private data capabilities that keep sensitive information secure.
AvaCloud manages the underlying infrastructure, upgrades, and monitoring, so Deloitte focuses entirely on the CAYG application instead of operational overhead. The result is a streamlined, transparent, reliable disaster relief grant system that reduces administrative delays and accelerates support for communities recovering from disaster.
"Close As You Go™ demonstrates how modern blockchain infrastructure can strengthen disaster recovery by improving transparency, reducing administrative burden, and accelerating the delivery of critical support to communities in need.", John Wu, President, Ava Labs
Purpose-Built for Government-Grade Data & Claims Processing
Four capabilities that turn fragmented workflows into a single audit-ready system.
AvaCloud's deterministic execution, permissioned access, built-in compliance, and managed operations combine to give CAYG something traditional systems could not: reliability, privacy, and coordination at the moment disaster relief programs need them most.
Streamlined Claims Processing Layer
CAYG uses AvaCloud's deterministic execution environment to coordinate documentation, approvals, and verifications without duplication. A unified workflow layer replaces fragmented systems, reduces manual processing, and accelerates FEMA submissions.
Secure, Permissioned Data Coordination
Permissioned architecture restricts data access to verified government entities. Agencies exchange information and validate claims with tamper-proof records, privacy and regulatory requirements maintained throughout.
Compliance-Ready Infrastructure
Built-in KYC/KYB, traceability, and reliable state consensus let CAYG meet the strict standards required for FEMA reimbursement. Every record, modification, and approval step is auditable across jurisdictions.
Automated Operations & Scalability
AvaCloud's managed services power CAYG with automated upgrades, monitoring, and seamless scaling. Predictable performance during high-urgency disaster periods, when efficiency matters most.
The Workflow
From local submission to FEMA reimbursement, on a single audit trail.
Three layers of government coordinate in one permissioned environment. The user experience stays simple; the audit trail is automatic.

Results
Faster recovery outcomes for affected communities.
Early deployments of CAYG have demonstrated significant efficiencies in how disaster relief claims are validated and submitted, fewer errors, smaller backlogs, and accelerated FEMA turnaround.

Avalanche L1 on AvaCloud
Permissioned infrastructure for any government-grade workflow.
Deloitte proved that disaster relief, one of the most fragmented, time-sensitive, compliance-heavy workflows in government, can run on a managed AvaCloud L1 without rebuilding from scratch. The same architecture is available for any agency or systems integrator standing up audit-ready, multi-stakeholder coordination at scale.
