Capabilities

Public records, turned into calls you can check.

Each score, brief and alert points back to the records it came from, so you can see how ArcLight got there.

01

Opportunity intelligence

SAM.gov opportunities and USAspending prime awards, collected into ArcLight's own store, deduplicated and timestamped on every refresh.

02

Explainable matching

Every open notice is scored against your capability profile, with the reasons against shown beside the reasons for.

03

Opportunity briefs

The buyer's award history, the likely incumbent with a stated confidence, overlapping competitors and the questions to settle before you bid.

04

Alerts on real change

Rules run against records that are new or have changed since the last refresh. A notice alerts you once, not every time it is fetched.

How it works

Profile. Score. Brief.

  1. 01

    Describe what you do

    Start from your own prime award history. ArcLight proposes a capability profile; you correct it.

  2. 02

    Score every open notice

    Each opportunity is scored on the factors your profile supports. Thin evidence lowers the confidence instead of guessing.

  3. 03

    Brief the ones that fit

    Open a brief for the notices worth pursuing, and set alerts for the ones you have not seen yet.

Evidence chain

Every inference shows its working.

ArcLight infers from public records, and says so. Briefs state what they were built from, and conclusions carry the evidence and confidence behind them.

  • Every record keeps its source and when it was last verified
  • Incumbency comes with a confidence level and its reasoning
  • Scores list the reasons against, not only the reasons for
