I What's broken

The tools you're using today are costing you the wrong things.

The opportunities that were actually for you — the ones that don't use your keywords. Federal solicitations are written by the agency, not by you. When your filter is "NAICS 541512 + cybersecurity," you miss the ones that said "cyber risk posture" and the ones that said "zero trust." A good match written in unfamiliar language reads like no match at all.

Weeks of capture-manager time on pursuits you were never going to win. A non-trivial federal response costs $5,000 to $50,000 before the ink dries — capture-manager hours, subject-matter-expert pulls, pricing, compliance review. The wrong pursuit is not just the money you spent on the wrong proposal. It's the opportunity you missed because this one ate the week.

A tooling budget line you can't justify to your CFO. The enterprise platforms have the data, but they cost $15k to $75k per seat, per year, and are built for capture teams at primes. For a firm doing $3M in federal services revenue, they're not on the table.

II What you get

Every opportunity, scored for you, with the reasons.

Every federal, state, and local opportunity, grant, and recent award, distilled into a clean brief — what the work is, who it's for, the dates that matter, and the compliance flags — and ranked against your firm's capabilities, certifications, and past performance.

Every score comes with the reasons in plain English. Not a number in isolation. Not a "relevance: high" badge. A factor-by-factor read that a capture manager can defend in a Monday pipeline review and a CEO can use to make the bid/no-bid call without squinting at the solicitation for fifteen minutes first.

The thing we ship that nobody else does is the reason.

III What it's worth to you

Fewer bad pursuits. More real ones.

Catch what you were missing

Beyond the keyword

The opportunities written in unfamiliar language surface for you anyway, because the match looks at what the work is, not just the words the agency used to describe it.

Walk away earlier

No-bid with confidence

When a score is low, you see why in plain English. Incumbent lock, geography mismatch, size class off — the reason is right there. You close the tab, you keep your week.

Defend the pursuit

Reasons you can share

When a score is high, the reasoning is a starting brief for your capture-planning call. Not a black box — a paragraph your team already agrees on before the pursuit kickoff.

IV Who it's for

Federal, state, and local contractors.

Small-to-mid contractors — firms doing $1M to $50M in federal, state, or local work, typically with at least one of 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, or HUBZone certification. Services-heavy NAICS in IT, professional services, construction, R&D, and logistics. Teams where the bid/no-bid decision lives in a CEO's head or on a capture manager's desk, not in a dedicated GovCon tooling budget line.

Federal coverage is live. State, local, and education (SLED) ships next — same scoring engine, same per-factor explainability, applied to state procurement portals, eProcure systems, education co-ops, and Sourcewell. If you sell across both surfaces, you stop juggling tools.
