  • Skymantics Awarded Key IRS Contract to Expand AI-Powered Simulation Engine for Fraud Detection

    Skymantics Awarded Key IRS Contract to Expand AI-Powered Simulation Engine for Fraud Detection

    Phase 4 extension of SimoN platform will enhance tax compliance capabilities and provide critical support for the agency’s modernization and predictive analytics goals.

    MELBOURNE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2025 / As the U.S. federal government accelerates its strategy to procure advanced Artificial Intelligence solutions, Skymantics, LLC is at the forefront, providing innovative AI and synthetic data capabilities to modernize the nation’s critical infrastructure. The company’s leadership in this space is demonstrated in the award of a Phase 4 contract to continue to support AI solutions for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The contract award is for the continued development of its Simulation of the Nation (SimoN) synthetic data engine, an IRS-specific implementation of Skymantics’ core DataGenesis AI based synthetic data platform that is central to the agency’s testing and modernization efforts.

    The SimoN platform provides a crucial business value to the IRS: it allows the agency to rigorously test its complex tax systems using high-fidelity synthetic data, thereby protecting sensitive, real taxpayer information from exposure. This enhances security and privacy while ensuring system integrity. SimoN currently supports over 180 data elements with over 300 dimensionalities representing real world data relationships.

    This Phase 4 contract significantly expands the engine’s scope beyond its original testing function. Skymantics will enhance the platform to generate sophisticated data models that simulate non-compliant and potentially fraudulent activities. This directly empowers the IRS’s mission-critical work in the following ways:

    • Enhances Fraud Detection: Provides a safe and renewable data source to train and validate fraud detection algorithms, increasing their accuracy and effectiveness.

    • Strengthens Tax Compliance: Allows the agency to model and understand complex compliance data scenarios, improving the IRS’s ability to ensure a fair and equitable tax system.

    • Enables Predictive Analytics: Creates a foundation for the IRS to develop advanced predictive models to anticipate and counter emerging threats to the nation’s revenue system.

    • Ensures Downstream Integration: Includes built-in ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) support to natively interface synthetic data into the IRS Modernized e-File (MeF) system, ensuring seamless compatibility for end-to-end testing.

    “We are proud to continue our support of the IRS with our cutting-edge SimoN platform,” said Brad Molander, Head of Engineering. “This award validates our confidence in the power of our synthetic data engine to solve mission-critical challenges. What began as a revolutionary tool for automated testing is now evolving to directly support the IRS’s vital compliance and fraud detection efforts, providing even greater value to the agency and the public.”

    Skymantics is also seeking to expand its capability to support air traffic management, building on its history of supporting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) since 2015. With the recent budget legislation and directive to build a brand-new Air Traffic Control (ATC) system, there is an opportunity to integrate Skymantics’ next-generation AI and data analytics to improve safety and efficiency.

    “The federal government’s commitment to investing in AI technologies is creating a significant growth opportunity for our advanced capabilities across multiple sectors,” said Charles Chen, CEO of Skymantics. “Our recent contract with the IRS is a powerful testament to the innovation and personalized approach our team delivers. Now, with the additional spending in air traffic management, we are eager to extend our DataGenesis AI product to support the FAA’s critical modernization efforts and help make our skies safer. We have a proven track record and are confident that our technology can play a vital role in developing the more intelligent air traffic control systems of the future.”

    About Skymantics, LLC: Skymantics, LLC is an SBA-certified 8(a) small disadvantaged business specializing in applied Artificial Intelligence and data modernization. Grounded in the core values of creativity, collaboration, and excellence, the company’s mission is to drive positive change by putting emerging data technologies into practice.

    The new, merit-based credential is available to any qualified nurse – from any country – to recognize their competencies, regardless of where they choose to live and work. It is awarded upon passage of TruMerit’s Nurse Qualifying Exam (NQE), which applicants may take after verification of their nursing education and licensure.

    Previously known as the CGFNS Qualifying Exam and used by nurses migrating to the United States, the NQE was reinvented with a global focus to support the ongoing evolution of nursing practice worldwide and particularly the emergence of key challenges such as digital health, mental health, and climate change. This was achieved through a collaborative process involving more than 70 nursing experts from 50 countries, with all World Health Organization regions and World Bank country income levels represented. The experts agreed upon a core set of nursing practice standards after analyzing nursing competency frameworks from 37 countries.

    In addition to its role as a key requirement for the CGN credential, the upgraded exam continues to support other TruMerit programs – such as the VisaScreen® Visa Credentials Assessment Service and the Certification Program® – as a shared global framework for validating the applied knowledge and practice competence of nurses worldwide.

    “The Certified Global Nurse credential offers nurses everywhere a common framework for meeting globally agreed-upon essential nursing practice standards,” said Dr. Peter Preziosi, TruMerit’s President and CEO. “When nurses carry the credential, their employers and colleagues will know that their applied nursing knowledge and skills are validated against a global benchmark, attesting to their qualifications for delivering quality healthcare.”

    The credential is ultimately intended to provide nurses with greater mobility within the profession, within their native countries, and across geopolitical boundaries throughout their careers.

    “By signifying work-readiness on an international scale, and thereby helping expand the pool of readily identifiable qualified nurses worldwide, global credentialing will become part of the solution to the challenges health systems are facing around the world,” said Preziosi.

    “We hope this credential can contribute to a sustained, collaborative effort involving many stakeholders-health ministries, international agencies, health systems, nursing schools, and nursing associations worldwide-to harmonize nursing education and practice and support the future growth of the global nursing workforce,” he said.

    The Nurse Qualifying Exam is a proctored examination that will be offered four times a year at more than 1,000 Kryterion testing centers located around the world, with the first test window scheduled for November 10-14, 2025. Nurses who wish to earn a CGN credential and sit for the NQE in November must apply by September 30 at the TruMerit website, where they will find more information on the credential and how to prepare for the exam.

    The testing schedule for 2026 will be announced later this year.
