§ 03 · How we do it

Real records. Real scoring. Real humans.

Sources

We pull from every source that matters.

County permit offices (via Shovels.ai) and the Georgia Procurement Registry, cross-checked before you see anything. For GDOT lettings specifically, pair us with BidX — we don’t try to duplicate it.

Scoring

Every job scored 0–100 for you.

Dollar value, trade match, deadline, and location. Premium subscribers see every job ranked 0–100 against their own profile.

Human review

A person reads every issue.

No bot spam. No broken links. No wrong phone numbers. Someone who knows the industry picks up the issue before you do.

Next issue

Ships Tuesday morning.
