An independent firm built for a single purpose: verifying federally funded broadband infrastructure.
Eagle Peak Advisors was established to address a specific gap in the federal broadband deployment ecosystem — the need for an independent assurance discipline focused exclusively on verification, validation, and data integrity.
To ensure accountability and accuracy in federally funded broadband infrastructure deployment through independent verification, field validation, and rigorous data integrity work.
The federal broadband investment of the past decade is among the largest infrastructure commitments in a generation. Programs at the Department of Commerce, USDA, Treasury, and the FCC have committed tens of billions of dollars to closing the digital divide. The success of these programs ultimately depends on whether the infrastructure they fund is actually built, accurately mapped, and performs as required.
Eagle Peak Advisors exists to provide the independent assurance that supports that accountability. We do not design networks, sell equipment, or build infrastructure. Our work is structured around a single discipline: verifying that what was reported, mapped, and certified is what was actually built and is actually performing.
Three principles govern our practice.
Independence
We accept engagements only where our role as an independent verifier is unambiguous. We do not perform design, construction, or supply work that would compromise the objectivity of our assurance. Our reporting reflects what was observed and measured — not what a client wishes to be reported.
Technical Rigor
Our methods are documented, repeatable, and aligned with the technical requirements of the federal programs our clients operate under. Sampling design, field protocols, and performance testing methodology are written down, reviewed, and traceable to the standards they are intended to verify against.
Field Expertise
Verification is conducted in the field, at the location level. Our practice is built on the conviction that meaningful broadband assurance cannot be delivered from a desk. Direct observation, on-site measurement, and geo-referenced evidence are the foundation of every engagement.
How we work
Every engagement begins with a written scope of work and methodology document. We define the verification objectives, the population under examination, the sampling approach, the field protocols, and the form of the deliverable before any field activity begins. This documentation is shared with the client and, where applicable, with the program administrator or auditing authority.
During execution, we maintain chain-of-custody documentation for every field observation and measurement. Photographs are geo-tagged. Performance tests are timestamped, logged, and attributable. Datasets are versioned. The goal is a final deliverable that an auditor could trace from a single line item back to the source observation without ambiguity.
Our reports are written for the audiences who will use them: state broadband office staff, federal program officers, engineering primes, and compliance reviewers. We present findings precisely, with explicit statements of methodology limitations and confidence levels where relevant. Where our findings disagree with reported data, we say so plainly and document the basis.
