Source-backed capture intelligence.
GovSail should keep source evidence close to every recommendation so teams can verify important procurement decisions.
Preferred Sources
GovSail should prefer official APIs, public bulk downloads, open-data feeds, published files, and permitted source pages before using brittle scraping.
Audit Trail
Normalized opportunity records should retain source URLs, fetched timestamps, raw hashes, document references, parser confidence, and citation evidence where available.
Source Constraints
GovSail should respect source terms, robots policies, authentication boundaries, rate limits, and portal constraints. Customer-authorized sources should be handled separately from public source coverage.
Recommendation Guardrails
Recommendations should cite source evidence or explicitly say what information is missing. Low-confidence requirements should default to verify, not ready.
No Substitute For Source Review
GovSail is a decision-support tool. Users should review the original solicitation, amendments, attachments, portal instructions, and buyer communications before bidding.
