THE INVENTORY
Each line is a table we maintain, with its coverage window and how often it refreshes. Counts update as the loaders run.
Counts marked ≈ are rounded.
Not another opportunity feed
Opportunity trackers tell you what's posted. GovTrace tells you what it's connected to.
Every record that lands is linked to the offices, incumbents, people, rules, and postings it touches, before anyone asks a question. The pattern is already there when you look.
Every contract action since FY2022, from FPDS and beyond. Who won, at what price, how it was modified, when it recompetes. Opportunity feeds start where this has already been for four years.
A continuous scrub of the job boards, tied back to the companies and the contracts. Competitor hiring is the earliest public signal of what they're chasing.
Rules, deviations, memos, oversight reports, patents, and trademarks are versioned and diffed. You see the change, not the whole document.
For our report clients
If you receive custom reports from us, this is the engine behind them. Same data, same connections, pointed at your market.
01 · INGEST
FPDS, SAM.gov, GAO, the courts, the Federal Register, the job boards, USPTO, ADS-B. Each on its own schedule, each checked against the last pull.
02 · CONNECT
Names resolve to UEIs, offices, and programs. New records attach to what they touch. The links are stored, so answers are a lookup, not a search.
03 · ASK
Reference classes, precedent with page cites, labor rates, recompetes, who's hiring. Every number carries its as-of date and source.
Every weekly Insight is one of these questions, asked of the whole market. Your report is the same question, asked of yours.
The live wire
Every record as it lands, newest first. Filter to what you care about. Refreshes on its own.
The wire goes live when the loaders connect to this page. Subscribe above and you'll hear the moment it does.
