Oversight & Knowledge

You hear what is going on out there on a Monday, not from a customer.

Tenders, grants, new standards and what the competition is doing are read, filtered and pulled together on one page once a week.

The problem

In May a painting and decorating firm hears about a renovation grant because a customer asks about it on the phone. The deadline for applications closed two weeks ago. The grant had been in the official gazette since February, three paragraphs down the page, among twelve other schemes.

Tenders, grant schemes, new standards, register entries: all of it is public. It is just that nobody reads it, because sixty sources and an ordinary working day do not leave an hour to spare. So you end up relying on somebody eventually telling you.

The damage rarely shows up at once. It shows up two years later, when the competitor in the next village is already advertising that it meets the new standard and you are only starting to work out your costs. You then make up the ground on price.

What you get

✓
Tenders for your trade from the portals in your region, filtered by service, contract size and distance.
✓
Grant schemes with their deadlines regional, federal and EU, each with the date from which you can apply.
✓
Moves by the competition new firms, new sites and register entries within whatever radius you set.
✓
Standards and regulations what applies to your work, from when it applies and how long the transition period runs.
✓
Price and materials indices the quarterly figures from the statistics offices, so that your costings and variations have something to back them up.
✓
One report on Monday morning four to six items, each with its source, its date and one sentence on what it means for you.
✓
Graded by urgency high, check or noted, so that not everything carries the same weight.
✓
Deadlines move into the diary an application deadline sits in the diary with time to spare, not only in the report.

The report lands in your inbox, your chat system or your project tool, wherever you look first thing anyway.

How it works

01

Capture

Around sixty sources are read: tender portals, official gazettes, company registers, standards bodies, statistics offices and your competitors’ own websites.

02

Process

Every item is checked against your profile: trade, size, radius, type of customer. Whatever does not fit drops out; the rest is cut down to three lines and ranked.

03

Deliver

On Monday morning the report is ready, the deadlines are in the diary, and anything genuinely urgent comes through straight away rather than in seven days’ time.

04

Review

After three months you see which sources actually lead to something. The others are narrowed down or dropped.

What you own

The list of sources, the filter rules and everything collected so far sit in your own accounts. If you stop tomorrow, you keep the radar and everything it has found.

We do not make you dependent on us. You are not renting a system, you are getting one.

Common questions

Sixty sources and four items at the end of it. Doesn’t anything get lost along the way?+

It can, and we would rather say so up front. That is why the filters start deliberately wide: for the first few weeks you get more than you need and gradually strike out what does not fit. Whatever you have struck out once does not come back.

Does the AI read the sources, and can you rely on it?+

It reads everything first and summarises, and every item links to the original. Before you decide anything you open the source, not the summary. An invented deadline would be the most expensive mistake of all, so every date says where it came from.

Where does the data come from, and is it above board?+

Only publicly available sources: official gazettes, registers, statistics offices, standards bodies and public websites. No bought-in address lists and no data about individuals.

There are eight of us and we never bid for tenders. Is it worth it?+

Then a good part of the value goes. What is left is grants, standards and materials prices, and that can be enough on its own. We check which sources will yield anything at all for your business before we quote, and we tell you straight.

We already have the Reporting cockpit. Is this not the same thing?+

No. The cockpit looks inwards, at your own figures. The radar looks outwards, at tenders, grants, competitors and indices. The two answer different questions and do not get in each other’s way.

On Monday you know what matters this week.

An intro call, free and with no obligation. We show you a sample report with real items from your own industry and tell you honestly whether there is enough in it for you.
