Alliances
Partnerships leave a trace
before a contract does.
Which companies have worked together, in which market and on which programme. The parties, the country and the record’s own source sit on the card. Nothing is inferred from a similar-looking company name.
A competitor profile opens the alliances it appears in, and an alliance opens the competitors behind it. Same records, read from either end.
Buying Signals
A requirement does not
begin as a tender.
It begins as a stated intent, and it either dies there or it climbs. One record moves along this ladder — these are not five separate lists.
- EarlyIntent is on record. No requirement written, no money attached.
- EmergingProcurement evidence exists, but no formal tender yet.
- Pre-procurementMoney on a published budget line, or industry engagement has started.
- Procurement expectedA tender or an FMS case is expected within months.
- Open tenderIt became a tender. The record carries the link to it.
There is no sample data behind this screen. Until a market has a record of its own, it says so in a sentence rather than filling the ladder with something plausible.
