About Azimuth
Built so no veteran navigates VR&E alone.
VA Chapter 31 — Veteran Readiness and Employment — pays for a service-disabled veteran to retrain into suitable work. Getting into it means assembling evidence scattered across VA.gov, DD-214s, rating decisions, transcripts, VA forms, and counselor emails, with no single place that says what's needed, why, or what to do next.
Azimuth consolidates that process into one guided path. It ends in a counselor-ready package — a single document containing your case summary, career research, labor-market evidence, and supporting documents — that you hand directly to your Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor.
Three things we hold ourselves to
- Free, always. Refinery Consulting hosts Azimuth at no cost to veterans. No feature is gated, degraded, or delayed for not paying.
- Every claim cites its source. A fact that can't be traced to one of your documents, or to something you typed yourself, doesn't enter your package.
- Your original records are never altered. A correction creates a new version — what the VA actually issued is preserved exactly, including when its wording is odd.
What Azimuth doesn't do
Azimuth prepares your package — you still submit it yourself, to your counselor, on your own terms. Azimuth never submits anything to the VA on your behalf, and never contacts your counselor for you.
Who's behind it
Azimuth is built and hosted by Refinery Consulting, a small technology consultancy. Azimuth isn't affiliated with, or endorsed by, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
