Our review approach
Useful research shows
how it got there.
ContractRelay is a research service led by Matt Wagner. Our job is to make opportunities easier to evaluate, with the evidence and limits in view.
Your profile is the starting point.
We learn your services, territory, preferred work and exclusions. Before ongoing work begins, we agree the sources and coverage we can support, how often you will hear from us and the scope and price.
01 / Source
Start with attributable information
We use identifiable agency notices, solicitation documents, planning and permit records, and published project information. A live Relay includes source links and a review date.
02 / Fit
Compare the work with your business
We assess scope and geography against your profile, then review published requirements and timing. Your team’s final capacity and commercial judgment remain part of the decision.
03 / Uncertainty
Separate evidence from inference
An open bid and an early project signal are different things. Unverified trade availability, unclear requirements and missing information are stated directly.
04 / Action
Recommend the next useful check
The Relay explains what to review, confirm or ask next. Before acting, verify the current source documents, amendments and procurement status.
