Strategic Pursuit runs an AI-powered analysis across Census, USAspending, FEMA, Grants.gov, and a weekly-refreshed feed of ~500 congressional earmark pages — then hands your Business Development team a ranked, cited dossier for any U.S. city, ready to pitch on Monday.
Where the data comes from
The agent is instructed to never fabricate program details. If a fact isn't backed by one of these sources, it doesn't ship.
ACS 5-year demographics for every U.S. city.
5-year federal award history with CFDA citations.
Disaster declarations by state and county.
Active and forecasted solicitations, Search2 API.
ARPA SLFRF entitlement-city allocations.
Justice40, QCT, CDBG-entitlement designations by GEOID.
Structured Senate appropriations request feed.
~500 House and Senate CDS/CPF pages, scraped weekly.
Why firms use it
01 · Pipeline acceleration
Submit a city; eight minutes later your Business Development lead has a ranked dossier with eligibility, strategic fit, and competitive position scored on every federal infrastructure program that fits. Replaces 4–8 hours of analyst time per pitch.
30–50× faster than the analyst-and-Excel baseline.
02 · Engagement leverage
Drop the dossier in front of a city manager: here are 11 programs your city is eligible for, here's why, here's the sequencing, here's what we'd do for you. Wins consulting work that loses to firms with bigger DC offices.
Each engagement won pays the platform for a year.
03 · Earmark situational awareness
A weekly cron scrapes ~500 congressional CDS and CPF pages, dedupes cross-member requests, and surfaces 'appropriations near this city' as a section on every dossier — intelligence that DC lobbyists charge $500/hr for.
~14K Senate CDS records ingested per fiscal year.
By the numbers
Federal programs scored on every dossier — encoded with each program's actual statute, not an AI guess.
Congressional CDS / CPF pages crawled weekly to build the earmark feed.
Scoring axes per match — eligibility, strategic fit, competitive position.
Typical dossier runtime end-to-end.
Program coverage
Each program is encoded with its statutory eligibility rules so the scoring isn't a black-box AI guess — it's the actual program statute checked against your city's profile.
Environmental Protection Agency
Department of Transportation
USDA Rural Development
Federal Emergency Management Agency
Department of Housing and Urban Development
Economic Development Administration
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
Department of Energy
Department of the Treasury / Internal Revenue Service
New programs land in the catalog as IIJA / IRA / annual appropriations shift — every workspace picks up the update at the next dossier run, no version bump required.
The compare
Output: a PowerPoint pitch + an Excel coverage sheet. Easy to skim, hard to defend in a client meeting because the citations live in browser tabs the analyst already closed.
Output: a cited dossier, scored on the actual program statute, with the earmark backstory built in. The Business Development lead spends their Tuesday on the pitch, not on the research.
How it works
Email + password (or Google). One person from your firm creates the workspace; the trial gives you 3 dossier runs and 1 seat — no card.
Create workspaceType 'Birmingham, AL', pick your focus areas (water, transportation, broadband, sanitation), hit submit. The agent streams progress as it works.
An eight-minute dossier with ranked programs, scoring rationale, step-by-step application guidance, and the earmark backstory — saved to your workspace, exportable to PDF, ready to send to a city client.
A look inside
The real product, rendered the way it ships — civic typography, no SaaS sparkle, every number cited to an official source.

Anatomy of a dossier
Census ACS, USAspending 5-year award history, FEMA disaster declarations, all pulled at run time. Every figure is cited; the agent never fabricates.
Hard eligibility rules from the program's own statute, strategic fit against the user's focus areas, competitive position from the city's award history. No mystery 'AI confidence' score.
When Senators Wicker and Hyde-Smith both request the same Sardis wastewater project at different amounts, the platform collapses them into one project with two member requests — exactly the way an experienced grant strategist would read it.
Live earmark feed
Pulled live from the Neon database that backs the platform — the same feed every paid workspace sees inside every dossier. Updated every Monday morning.
