THE REPURPOSER
"We want to be a one-stop shop for any piece of data that exists about Federal contracts."
• Use APIs make the data readily available
• Budgetary information at the summary level is not helpful. Data must be granular to provide real value to
subscribers
• Access data through outgoing API • Add value through interpretation and analysis • Create visualizations and identify trends • Resell data, such as: What contracts have been awarded to whom, for how much, for how long, from what account. Which Federal agencies received increases and cuts.
• Data quality is questionable: missing cells, typos in contractor names result in duplicate accounts, amounts sometimes differ from other source documents • Insufficient data granularity
• Data needs to be accurate in order for us to sell it • Since it is all public data, we add value through data manipulation and analysis • US market data is just one piece of the puzzle; it should easily tie into the global equation
