• find_tenders

  Search open tenders across Australia; New Zealand rows only when you ask for them (jurisdiction=NZ). FREE, within the weekly cap. USE THIS WHEN someone asks what public-sector work is open: "any council drainage tenders in Victoria", "what's closing this month in NSW", "show me federal IT opportunities". For "which of these could MY company actually bid for", use match_tenders instead — that reads their website and ranks against it. `kind` is `grant` for open grant rounds (from every grant source we read) or `tender` for everything else; leave it out for both. Each result says which it is in `kind`. `jurisdiction` is one of AU, NZ, AU-NSW, AU-VIC, AU-QLD, AU-WA, AU-SA, AU-TAS, AU-ACT, AU-NT. `tier` is federal, national, state, council, university or health. `closing_before` is an ISO date. `first_seen_after` (ISO-8601 instant, strictly newer) answers "what is new since my last look" — first_seen is when WE first saw the tender, the honest clock for newness. There is deliberately no `

• match_tenders

  Rank open tenders against what a company actually does. Free, inside the weekly cap. USE THIS WHEN someone asks which opportunities suit a specific business: "what could we bid for", "is there anything for a civil contractor in Victoria", "find work for acme.com.au". Give `company_url` — a plain domain is fine, we resolve it — and we read their site, build a capability profile, and score the shortlist against it. `example` runs a built-in profile (civil, it, facilities) with no site read, for demonstrating the shape of the answer. Returns `{profile, matched, shown, withheld, withheld_reason, matches[], degraded, score_means, coverage}`. Each match has `score`, `band`, `why[]` — the company's own stated capabilities this tender needs — `gaps[]`, things the tender asks for that their website does not mention, and `checks[]` (each a `label`), computed: outside the states asked for, or prequalification named in the tender's text (a heuristic,

• tender_sources

  Every source we search, what it is allowed to do, and what the last run returned. FREE. USE THIS WHEN someone asks where the data comes from, whether a particular portal is covered, or why a search came back empty. It is the honesty surface: it names sources behind login walls, sources whose robots.txt refuses us, and sources that returned nothing on the last run and why. Returns `{sources[], coverage}` — per source: id, tag, name, refresh mode, jurisdiction, tier, how it is accessed, what its robots.txt says, how many tenders we hold from it, and its status on the most recent run; its URL (`source_url`) with an API key or a signed-in account only. Snapshot sources include their observed date and are not presented as nightly feeds.

• buyer_awards

  What a buyer has awarded, what is ending, and what they plan. FREE. USE THIS WHEN someone asks about a specific buyer before a bid: "who holds Transport for NSW's work", "what is ending soon at Queensland Health", "what does this agency usually pay". Give `buyer` (the organisation name as published) or `buyer_key` (from a tender's buyer, or a previous answer). Returns `{buyer, expiring[], planned[], recent_awards[], top_suppliers[], open_tenders[], computed_at, sources}`: the nightly rollup (awards in the window, value quartiles as published, median response window), contracts ending within 12 months with the incumbent, planned procurements with their quarter and spend band, the suppliers who win from them (name and share), and open tenders under the same name. ANONYMOUS CALLERS SEE COUNTS, VALUES, DATES AND BUYERS; supplier and incumbent names are withheld and `withheld_reason` says so. Relay that sentence as it is. Links to other sites - an award's notice (`url`), a plan's evidenc

• find_signals

  Signals: what may be tendered before it is. FREE. USE THIS WHEN someone asks what is coming: "which contracts in Queensland end in the next six months", "what is planned for ICT next quarter", "what is expiring for this buyer". `kind` is one of contract_expiry (a contract ending, with its incumbent), planned_procurement (a buyer's stated plan with its quarter and spend band as published) or recurring_tender (derived from our own history, labelled `derived`). `jurisdiction` is one of AU, NZ, AU-NSW, AU-VIC, AU-QLD, AU-WA, AU-SA, AU-TAS, AU-ACT, AU-NT. `window_before` is an ISO date: signals whose window starts on or before it. `q` searches the subject, buyer and incumbent. Returns `{total, results[], computed_at, sources}`. Each signal carries `confidence` (`published` or `derived` - a vocabulary, not a score), its window (never invented: an expiry's window IS the contract's end date; a planned row with no parseable quarter has none), `evidence_ref`, and `evidence_url` with an API key
