What does the Insights dashboard show?
The current dashboard shows federal opportunity totals and trends, deadline distribution, agency, set-aside, opportunity-type, industry, and state breakdowns, plus USAspending trend and agency charts.
Where does the spending data come from?
The spending charts use USASpending.gov data. Treat the charts as research context and verify official figures, award details, and reporting definitions in USASpending.gov before relying on them.
How far back can I review the charts?
The dashboard includes selectable time ranges from 7 days through 1 year for supported views. Coverage and results depend on the source data and selected filters.
Can I filter the opportunity views?
Yes. Supported dashboard filters include time range, state, agency, NAICS code, opportunity type, and set-aside. Some filters are applied by selecting a chart segment.
Can I export the analytics data?
No. The current Insights dashboard does not include a CSV or spreadsheet export. Use the on-screen charts and verify source records in the applicable government system.
Does Insights guarantee better bid results?
No. The charts can support research and go/no-go discussions, but they do not predict awards or guarantee a bid outcome.
Can I search a specific contractor or incumbent?
Not in the current Insights dashboard. It does not provide a dedicated contractor, incumbent, winner, or teaming-partner search.
Does the AI Bidding Assistant automatically use Insights data?
No automatic Insights-to-proposal enrichment is advertised. The AI Bidding Assistant separately reviews uploaded solicitation materials and prepares working drafts that require human verification.
What is the difference between the opportunity and spending views?
The opportunity charts summarize federal notice data used by the search workflow. The spending section presents separate USASpending.gov trend and agency views; it should not be read as a one-to-one match between a notice and an award.
