Fresh award signals
Start from newly funded SBIR/STTR companies rather than a static prospect list.
Private beta · for DCAA & GovCon service firms
Find the R&D companies entering a likely accounting-readiness window.
We’re validating a focused weekly radar that turns fresh SBIR/STTR awards into a short, ranked list of companies that may soon need Phase II accounting, timekeeping, or DCAA-readiness support.

No prior Phase IISmall teamRecent award
Why now: First federal R&D award and no prior Phase II history may indicate an upcoming need to strengthen accounting-system and timekeeping readiness.

First-time awardeeDoD relevance
Why now: A fresh Phase I award creates a defined funded window in which Phase II planning and cost-system readiness may become commercially relevant.

Repeat Phase INo Phase II found
Why now: Lower-priority watchlist candidate. Useful for firms serving life-science awardees, but less urgent than first-time DoD recipients.

The problem
The award is public. The sales timing is not.
Fresh funding records are easy to find. What takes time is deciding which awardees are actually worth contacting, whether the timing is early or late, and why your service may matter now.
Readiness context
Layer phase, agency, award history and company context to separate hot prospects from noise.
A clear “why now”
Each lead should explain the commercial trigger so a human can decide whether outreach is justified.
Signal logic
From “new award” to a reviewable readiness signal.
The beta concept is intentionally narrow. It does not claim that every Phase I awardee needs DCAA support. It prioritizes observable conditions that can make a readiness conversation more relevant.
01 · FUNDING
Fresh Phase I award
A newly funded R&D company enters the watch universe.
02 · HISTORY
Little Phase II history
First-time and less experienced awardees may have more readiness work ahead.
03 · FIT
Agency & company context
Agency, award amount, company size and service relevance refine the signal.
04 · ACTION
Ranked “why now” lead
A short explanation helps your team decide whether to research, contact, or skip.
Signal scores are prospecting heuristics, not legal, accounting, audit, or procurement determinations. A company appearing in the radar does not mean it is required to obtain DCAA support or that an audit will occur.
Sample radar
See the reason behind every lead.
A usable radar needs to be small enough to review in minutes. The goal is not more records — it is fewer, better-timed prospects.
- ✓Filter toward first-time or low-history SBIR awardees.
- ✓Explain the observable trigger behind the score.
- ✓Keep source context attached so the lead can be verified.
- ✓Export or review manually — no auto-emailing awardees.

Who it is for
A narrow tool for firms that sell into the readiness window.
01
DCAA / GovCon accounting firms
Find newly funded companies before they are already deep into Phase II preparation.
02
Compliance & GovCon advisors
Identify small R&D firms entering a period where federal contracting readiness may matter.
03
Accounting & timekeeping software
Prioritize awardees whose next growth step may require better cost and labor tracking.
Private beta pricing test

Joining the private beta is not a purchase. We are testing whether a focused radar is useful enough to justify a target price of $79/month.

Not another SBIR database
This concept is intentionally different from tools built for companies searching for grants or tracking generic R&D opportunities.
The question is narrower: which newly funded companies may be entering a commercially relevant accounting-readiness window for your firm?
FAQ
A few important details.
Is the product live today?
No. This page is a demand-validation page for a private beta. The sample radar is illustrative. If enough qualified firms request access, we will build and invite early users before charging.
Does a lead mean the company needs DCAA accounting?
No. The radar would surface prospecting signals, not determinations. A fresh award, phase history, agency or company context can make a readiness conversation more relevant, but each prospect still requires human review.
Where would the data come from?
The concept is designed around official public SBIR/STTR and federal R&D award records, plus carefully selected public company context. The beta would keep source context attached so records can be verified.
Will it automatically email awardees?
No. The radar is intended to prepare a short reviewable prospect list. Your team decides whether, when and how to contact anyone.
Why not just use a general SBIR database?
General databases are useful for broad research. This concept is intentionally narrower: ranking newly funded companies by a specific service window relevant to DCAA/GovCon accounting and readiness providers.
