The data
Every signal traces back to a document an agency published itself
Civic IQ is not a vendor database. It reads the public record — minutes, budgets, capital plans, and award records from 100,000+ state, local, and education agencies — and every signal it produces carries a link to the page it came from.

From published document to scored signal
- 01
Collect
Agendas, minutes, budgets, capital plans, and award records are pulled from official agency sources as they are published — not scraped from aggregators.
- 02
Extract
Each document is read for purchase intent: line items, project mentions, vendor names, dollar amounts, and the dates that bound them.
- 03
Score
Every candidate is scored 0–100 against your products, keywords, and territory. Specificity, budget status, and proximity to a solicitation all move the number.
- 04
Cite
The signal keeps a link to the document, the date, and the page it came from, so anything the platform asserts can be checked against the original.

Council and commission minutes, school board agendas, adopted budgets and amendments, capital improvement plans, board packets, award records, and contract expiration notices. Roughly 1.5 million documents a month across more than 100,000 state, local, and education agencies.
