In addition, the best "do-ers" to execute pilot programs aren't always (perhaps even are rarely) good educators for the next round of specialists to scale up the program. They'd rather be on the ground than writing documents about best practices. So a lot of institutional knowledge from the pilot programs are lost.

There's probably a good opportunity for an app/service/startup that makes recording this institutional knowledge more seamless for the on-the-ground "do-ers," but I'm not sure what the business model would be.

Most government social programs take bids for outside companies to do technical assistance or manage the grant's data. Get an office on K Street in Washington D.C. and bid on that part of the grant.
