Hours of records review.
Minutes of reading.

Guidon reads the veteran's complete file — hundreds of pages — maps every condition to the current VA rating schedule, finds the evidence gaps and unclaimed conditions, and hands the accredited service officer a prioritized work plan to review, amend, and sign.

A guidon doesn't command the unit — it guides it. The software guides. You lead.

Reads everything

Blue Button exports, service treatment records, decision letters — organized into one case file with every key passage quoted.

Maps to 38 CFR Part 4

Candidate ratings with confidence levels — including staged ratings across time periods — quoting the controlling criteria, current as of this month's regulations.

Finds what's missing

Nexus letters, buddy statements, exams — and documented conditions that were never claimed. When two codes could apply, it names the deciding fact instead of guessing.

Triages the work

A priority-ranked action plan the officer amends and signs, plus open questions ranked by what they're worth to the veteran.

“This did in minutes what took people hours, and it was right. Then it missed something, caught itself, and corrected it. That’s when I trusted it.”

Every hour a service officer saves is an hour given back to a veteran who earned it.

The Guidon Pledge

We believe any company bringing AI into veterans' claims owes the people doing this work a public, permanent commitment. This is ours — and we invite every company in this space to sign the same one.

  1. No veteran will ever pay us anything. Guidon is provided to offices and organizations only.
  2. The accredited representative holds final authority. Every output is a draft for human review and signature. No auto-submit exists in our product.
  3. We publish our accuracy — including our misses. Benchmarked against published Board decisions, updated continuously, explained plainly.
  4. When the record doesn't decide, we ask instead of guessing. No confident answers without evidence behind them.
  5. Veteran data is never sold, shared, or used to train AI models. In the contract, not just the brochure.

Founding Offices Council. Guidon's first pilot offices hold named seats steering the roadmap. This tool is built with county and state service officers, not just for them — and the people who join earliest shape it most. Founding offices lock their pricing for three years.

Works beside the tools you already trust

VetraSpec and VetPro are systems of record — forms, tracking, submission. Guidon is the analysis step before them: the reading, the mapping, the work plan. Nothing to replace, nothing to migrate, nothing to install. It's a browser tab, and its outputs print and export into the workflow you already run.

Who's behind Guidon

Chancey Cunningham, founder of Guidon, U.S. Marine Corps veteran

Chancey Cunningham served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2002 to 2010, including a deployment to Iraq — and then went through the VA claims process himself, with a veteran service officer and with paid consultants. He built Guidon because the people helping veterans for free deserved better tools than the people charging them thousands.

The first file Guidon ever analyzed was his own — all 465 pages of it. It matched every condition the VA had rated, and found ones nobody had ever claimed.

The pilot

Free for 30 days. 1–2 officers, real cases, your pace. We measure one number together: hours per claim, before and after. If grant funding would help beyond the pilot, we'll draft the application language for you — Arizona's Veterans' Donation Fund and the federal Dole Act §302 CVSO grants both fit.
