Our Mission:
Are you tired of feeling like you're not speaking the right language when pitching your product or service to the DoD? Our founder, Phillip Dominguez, witnessed too many companies with innovative solutions struggle to gain traction simply because they didn't understand the nuances of government procurement, enterprise level decision-making and timing. Leveraging knowledge from his growing network of senior and executive level interactions, he created S7 to empower businesses like yours to confidently and effectively articulate your value to government clients, addressing every angle from technical specifications to long-term logistic support. Unlock your potential for success in the DoD market.
Proverbs 16:16: “How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!”

Our Costs
Our Value Philosophy: Strategic Investment for DoD Success
At S7 Strategies, we believe that strategic guidance in the DoD market is an investment designed to deliver a high, measurable return—not a commodity expense. Given the high-stakes nature of defense contracting, our value is defined by the confidence, clarity, and accelerated path to success our proprietary knowledge provides.
We do not charge based on time; we charge based on the strategic outcome we help you achieve.
How We Structure Your Investment
Our engagements are structured to align with your strategic goals and ensure high-value delivery. We provide clear, fixed-price quotes based on one of two primary models:
• Fixed-Price Solution Programs: We bundle our core services—such as the Digital Readiness Accelerator or the Executive Leadership Integration—into comprehensive packages. These programs have a defined scope and a single, predictable investment figure, eliminating surprise costs.
• Ongoing Strategic Retainer: For clients requiring continuous support, strategic foresight, and periodic access to our deep knowledge base, we offer advisory retainers. These provide predictable monthly access to maintain market momentum and alignment.
Who We Serve
Our investment level is tailored for organizations that are serious about securing or expanding their position within the Department of Defense's most critical commands (NAVSEA, NAVAIR, PEO IWS). If you are looking for a decisive strategic partner focused on leveraging high-level knowledge to achieve major defense objectives, we are the right fit.
