Grant tracking software for engineering & AEC firms
Get left of the RFP. Win the grant, then win the design and CM work.
Your pipeline starts 6 to 18 months before the solicitation hits SAM. Name a client's city and our AI reads it, then hands back a ranked, cited dossier in about 8 minutes — the federal programs they qualify for, that fit, and that they can win, the city's own real numbers to back the case, and the nearby congressional earmark requests no discovery database shows you.
Every match shows the law behind it, its source, and the date we last checked it. The call is bold because the receipts are right there.

You don't lose pursuits on merit. You lose them on position — and on who reached the funding first.
A capture lead at a 200-person civil firm is running ten pursuits with the hours for three. The discovery database hands your team the same list every competitor downloaded this morning. So you spray B&P dollars across longshots, make the go/no-go call on a gut read, and find out a rival's client already had a congressional earmark request in the queue — for the exact project you were chasing.
The firms that win municipal infrastructure work don't search harder. They position earlier, qualify hard, and walk into the go/no-go with a defensible read on their win odds (Pwin). That read is what our AI hands you in about 8 minutes — not a bigger pipeline, a sharper one.
A disciplined no-go is a competitive weapon.
Spot the funded project before the solicitation. Then run the capture you already know how to run.
Five steps, from naming the city to winning the work — the AI does the research up front so your team spends its time where it counts.
- 01
Name the city (the pursuit target).
Type your client's city or county. Our AI pulls together its profile — Census demographics, the last 5 years of federal awards (USAspending), FEMA disaster history, Justice40 and HUD designations, leftover ARPA / SLFRF money — straight from official government sources, not from memory.
- 02
Read where the money lands.
See the matched programs scored three ways — can you qualify, does it fit, can you win — each with the law behind it (e.g., IIJA §11302), its CFDA program number, the current application window, and the date we last checked it. This is your pipeline left of the RFP: the money is in place long before it's solicited.
- 03
Run the go/no-go on the facts.
The actual eligibility rules decide what qualifies, dropping the programs you don't qualify for out of the ranking — so your no-go is defensible to a principal, not a gut call. You stop spraying B&P across the field and put it on the pursuits where the firm has standing.
- 04
Position the teaming play.
Know which pursuits you'd prime and which are sub roles before the RFP drops. Walk the client through the funding strategy, back the grant application with the city's own real numbers, and be the firm that brought the money to the table.
- 05
Win the grant, then win the work.
The grant the city wins is the design, the PM, the CM, and the construction engineering you're positioned to deliver. That's the seller-doer's whole thesis — funded upstream, you're already left of the RFP.
The wedge no discovery database shows you
See the earmark request a competitor's client filed last week.
Congressional Community Project Funding (CPF) and Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) requests are public the moment a member files them — but spread across roughly 500 congressional sites and buried until enacted. We collect them every week and put the lane on your screen: who requested what, for which recipient, in which committee, for how many dollars, and which member carried it.
That is intelligence your pipeline has never had. When a neighboring town's project is already in a funding request, you know where the money is going months before any RFP — and you know whether to position, team, or pass.
We show the request as filed — recipient, purpose, subcommittee, amount, member — and never imply the dollars are secured.
The grant is the front door to the fee.
For an engineering or design firm, a federal grant your client wins isn't the prize — it's the trigger. It funds the planning study, the design, the program management, the construction engineering and inspection. Help the client win the funding and you're positioned, first and by name, for the work the funding pays for.
Position early
Be in the room when the funding strategy is set, not when the RFP is published. Left of the RFP is where teaming decisions get made.
Back up the case
The dossier attaches the city's own real numbers — bridges rated in poor condition, environmental violations on record, local health burden — so the grant application argues from facts, not adjectives.
Turn it into fee
A funded program means design, PM, and CM work. The firm that brought the money is the firm that delivers it.
It makes your capture team higher-hit-rate — it doesn't replace them.
Your in-house grant writer and your capture lead are the experts who win the work. Our AI hands them a ranked, cited starting read in about 8 minutes — what the client qualifies for, what fits, and what they can win, with the rule and the source attached — so the week they used to spend digging through databases and checking CFDA numbers becomes the week they spend writing the pursuits the firm can actually win.
The honest no-go gives them cover, too. When a principal pushes a longshot, the dossier's clear, defensible no is the document that ends the debate without burning a relationship.
“Eight minutes to the read our team would have spent a week building — and every line holds up.”
The AI does the work. The facts come from the government.
This is not a chatbot guessing at program numbers. Whether a program qualifies is decided by the actual eligibility rules, not the AI's opinion — miss a hard rule and it's marked ineligible. And the numbers aren't the AI's memory: we pull them straight from official government sources, so they're gathered, not recalled.
- Sourced
Every program shows its CFDA program number, the law behind it, and its source.
- Dated
Every program carries a last-checked date you can verify before you cite it.
- Gated
Not checked in 180 days carries a verify-with-agency note; past 365 days it can't be called a strong match.
- Clean
Discontinued programs never show up. 205 federal programs across more than two dozen federal agencies.
