Field notes
The homepage reports 100 contracts, 50 resolved suppliers, 20 public buyers and 124 documents, and lists recent ingestion runs from TED, SAM.gov, Contracts Finder, OpenCorporates and GLEIF. Its search interface currently displays “0 results,” while the featured-dossier area names no cases in the supplied extract. The methodology describes a source hierarchy, confidence labels and a permanent archive of hashed documents; these are site-stated practices, not independently verified here.
