How we keep it trustworthy
- Every opportunity links to the official page it came from and shows the date we last checked it.
- The AI never adds a funder, a deadline, or an amount from memory. If it is not in a source, it is not shown.
- We use only sources whose terms allow reuse, keep to their published rate limits and robots rules, and never scrape a site that forbids it.
- Past contract awards are kept only as totals and typical sizes. We never show who won a contract.
- A notice is marked closed once its deadline passes, and anything a source withdraws is closed on the next refresh.
Missing a source you rely on, such as your state's bid portal or a community foundation? Tell us which one. We add sources whose terms allow it.
