Scout™
Scout notices what is changing in the public record, and shows where independent sources agree.
It reads federal spending, contract, regulatory and company records continuously and turns a large volume of observation into a smaller number of developing subjects, each traceable to its source and the time it was retrieved.
When teams use it
The morning readStart from what is developing on the subjects you watch, and how quickly each one is moving.
Before a requirement is publishedSee notices, awards and budget lines converging on the same subject before a solicitation appears.
When the feed is too wideNarrow what you see in ordinary language rather than in query syntax.

A subject is not a verdict
Scout says that something warrants attention and how strongly the record supports it. Whether it matters to you is judged in Strike™.
What is kept with it Each source record and when it was retrievedCore workflows
- 01Watch your subjects. Scout keeps reading so a person does not have to, across the subjects agreed with your team.
- 02Read a developing subject. Related observations arrive grouped as one subject rather than as many fragments.
- 03See where sources converge. How many independent records point at the same development, and how quickly they are arriving.
- 04Narrow the feed. Ask for less in ordinary language, and see what was set aside.
- 05Check the source. Every observation keeps its source record, the archive it came from and when it was retrieved.
- 06Hand off. Open the same subject in Strike to judge whether it matters to you.
Evidence and governance
ProvenanceEvery observation cites a source record and the date it was retrieved.
HistoryObservations are added to the record, never overwritten, so a subject can be read as it stood on any day.
Source rightsWhere a source's terms restrict display, the record is shown as withheld, with the reason.
