Nothing gets past it.
And it shows its work.

Last week, a hazmat-testing RFQ went up on the Kodiak Island Borough website on a Tuesday afternoon. Here’s what happened to it — and what happens to every opportunity posted anywhere in Alaska.

Somewhere you weren’t looking

Alaska’s agencies post work in thirty-plus different places — federal databases, state portals, borough sites, school districts, utilities, tribal orgs. Nobody can watch them all. We do, around the clock.

Thirty-plus channels, checked around the clock. Every source is a publicly posted government solicitation, bid, or grant notice — always verify details with the issuing agency before bidding.

Read like an estimator would

A 42-page packet becomes the facts you’d check first — scope, owner, deadline, site, bonding, the gotchas. Done once, for everyone.

03 you

Your shop, described once

The other half of every judgment is you: what you do, the words a bid clerk would use for it, what you can bid as, and how far you’ll travel.

Then we judge all of it. Every single one.

A search engine hands you a shortlist — and everything it didn’t retrieve is invisible. You can never ask “what did it miss?” So we don’t search. We fill in the whole grid.

how the judge gets its evidence

The meaning layer

Keyword search only finds the words you typed. We go a layer deeper: every chunk of every opportunity — and every one of your capability facets — is turned into a 1,024-number vector that encodes its meaning. Close meanings sit close together in that space, even with zero shared words.

“UST removal” lands right next to “underground storage tank decommissioning” and “petroleum spill response” — all three a plain keyword search would miss. A keyword pass still runs in parallel for exact codes and proper nouns.

Together they form the evidence handed to the judge — which reads every opportunity regardless, so a weak signal can’t hide a good fit. Meaning and keywords make the judgment sharp; the judge makes the coverage complete.
