Hupside and Carahsoft Partner to Bring Original Intelligence Infrastructure to the Public Sector

WASHINGTON and RESTON, Va. - March 25, 2026 - Hupside, the creator of the world's first Original Intelligence infrastructure platform, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®, today announced a partnership to support Public Sector organizations as they scale Artificial Intelligence adoption. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Hupside's Master Government Aggregator^®, making Hupside's solutions available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft's reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions - Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint, OMNIA Partners and E&I Cooperative Services Contract contracts.

As Generative AI becomes embedded across Government operations to power drafting, analysis, intake and decision support, agencies face a growing challenge. While AI delivers efficiency, it also drives output convergence at scale, making it harder to distinguish where human judgment, accountability and discretion must remain in the loop. Most agencies lack objective ways to identify which individuals and teams create value beyond AI, and where over-automation introduces mission, trust or legitimacy risk.

Hupside addresses this gap by providing the first infrastructure platform designed to measure, benchmark and operationalize Original Intelligence, or the human capacity to generate insight, judgment and solutions beyond AI's statistical norm.

"In Government, effectiveness isn't defined by access to AI tools," said Jonathan Aberman, Co-Founder and CEO of Hupside. "It's defined by knowing where human judgment must lead automation. AI optimizes for what is likely. Government missions depend on people who know when what is likely is not what is right. Our Original Intelligence infrastructure gives agencies an objective way to identify AI-ready talent and ensure AI adoption strengthens-not erodes-public trust."

At the center of Hupside's platform is Hupchecker, a research-backed system that measures Original Intelligence by benchmarking human responses against both other humans and leading AI models. Unlike traditional assessments, Hupchecker cannot be gamed by using AI. AI-generated responses cluster toward a statistical center, while authentic original human thinking diverges. In minutes, agencies gain clear insight into who expands the idea space, who over-relies on AI and how teams are likely to perform in AI-enabled workflows.

Built on years of cognitive science research and validated across large datasets, Hupside's Original Intelligence infrastructure helps Public Sector organizations address responsible AI adoption, workforce modernization, mission resilience and risk management. By making originality measurable and actionable, agencies can better align talent to roles, target AI training effectively, reduce downstream errors and appeals and preserve accountability where automation alone falls short.

"By adding Hupside to our portfolio, Carahsoft and its reseller partners are helping agencies address a critical blind spot in AI transformation," said Tiffany Goddard, Program Executive for HR & Training Technology Solutions at Carahsoft. "Hupside complements AI and emerging technology investments by providing objective insight into the human side of adoption-to determine who creates value beyond the tools and how to deploy AI responsibly at scale."

Hupside's solutions are available through Carahsoft's SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042, NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement #AR2472, OMNIA Partners Contract #R240303 and E&I Contract #EI00063~2021MA.
