Market Intelligence Playbook
The pursuit that wins usually started before the solicitation existed. This playbook shows how GovSignals builds that forecast horizon from source-cited government signals.

From inputs to output
A repeatable process.
A reviewable result.
Pipeline meetings built from stale portals miss the agency motion that matters: budget shifts, hiring, forecasts, recompetes, and industry-day clues.
Define the market
Set target agencies, offices, NAICS, vehicles, incumbents, and past-performance lanes.
Collect weak signals
Track forecasts, FPDS history, USAspending, Federal Register, budgets, hiring, and agency pages.
Score fit and timing
Rank early opportunities by relevance, budget credibility, recompete timing, and capture actionability.
Brief the team
Deliver a field-ready market brief with citations, owners, and recommended capture moves.
What your team
takes forward.
Working material to review, refine and use in your next decision.

Questions
about the workflow.
Is this just saved search?
No. The agent synthesizes signals across sources and maps them to your strategy.
Can it watch a specific agency?
Yes. Most teams start with two or three target offices and expand from there.
Does it cite sources?
Yes. Every signal should trace back to the page, filing, notice, or transaction that created it.
