Software for work where a wrong answer is expensive.
We build tools for people doing exacting technical work—the kind of work where a confident guess costs more than no answer at all.

Who we are
A software product company.
We are a software product company. We build and own our products; selective custom development is a secondary line of business, not our primary identity.
Sheridan Labs is two people—a father and a son—building in Kansas City.

What we’re building.
Two products for exacting technical work in two very different markets.
Automotive service
FaultNav
Guided diagnostics for technicians. It walks a tech through the manufacturer’s own diagnostic procedure, step by step, hands-free—and never tells them what the fault is. The tests do that.
Built voice-first, so a technician can work a procedure with both hands in the engine bay.
Defense contracting
ControlTrail
CMMC readiness for contractors in the defense industrial base. It tracks evidence against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, so a contractor knows exactly where they stand before an assessor asks.
The operational system of record underneath a customer’s SSP—not a certifying body.
How we build
We’d rather be unhelpful than wrong.
When our software can’t be certain, it says so and hands you the source it was working from. It never fills the gap with something plausible.
