Executive overview
Review the market at a glance, then begin with a contractor, a Bureau / Department, or a supporting contract.
Three direct routes into the data. Each list states its scope, shows its reasoning, and links to the supporting evidence β nothing here is a prediction or a bid recommendation.
Already know the contractor, department, or award you need? Go straight to it. Both angles lead to the same supporting contracts and market evidence.
Understand overall performance, department footprint, services won, market position, and contract evidence.
Understand purchasing activity, services bought, leading contractors, concentration, and contract evidence.
Our exposure, measured against the configured company lens: "Defend" marks markets where we are the largest contractor (our position to protect), "Under pressure" marks markets we serve where a rival leads and is strengthening, or concentration is high. Trend compares the largest contractor's latest 3-year share against its all-time share; HHI is the supporting concentration measure.
Review before apply
Upload or drop a new SOA QPS awarded contracts CSV. The app reviews it in the browser first; apply the reviewed update from CSV Update when ready.

Review history
Review browser-side CSV import counts and inspect rows that existed, were newly added, changed, revised, active-only, normalized, or rejected.
Time machine
Revisit any frozen monthly snapshot β each one is a self-contained copy of the dashboard that keeps working offline. The latest dataset powers live analysis by default.
Bureau / Department market concentration
Bureau / Department-level contractor dominance, top contractors, and market concentration (HHI) by selected financial year range. HHI sums the squares of each contractor's value share β the higher it is, the fewer contractors control that market.
Strategic scenarios
Identify Bureau / Departments where the same contractor has led on awarded value consistently across 3, 5, and 7 year windows. Read these as historical concentration signals that warrant deeper entry research β not as bid recommendations or forecasts.
Compares 3-year window share against all-time window share.
| Strengthening | Recent dominance exceeds the historical average. |
| Weakening | Recent dominance is below the historical average. |
Based on the vendor's average market share across available time windows.
| Very High | Average share over 60%. |
| High | Average share from 45% to 60%. |
| Moderate | Average share under 45%. |
Historical concentration signals only β use them to choose what to research next, not to decide a bid.
| Combination | Meaning | Suggested research direction |
|---|---|---|
| Strengthening + Very High | The leading contractor's share is rising from an already high base. | Investigate what sustains the incumbent (renewals, incumbency advantages) before committing resources. |
| Weakening + Moderate | The former leader's share is declining and the market is opening up. | Review recent awards to see who is gaining share instead, and why. |

Data Administration
Modify browser-session keyword rules used to classify contract nature. Dashboard insight appears under Market Overview and Contract Details.
Classification is first match wins β a nature added on Top claims matching contracts before the built-in rules; Fallback only catches contracts no rule above it claims. Rules live in this browser session: Reset Rules drops them, and publishing a nature for everyone still goes through the payload rules.

Data Administration
Review and adjust contractor and bureau / department normalization mappings, then re-run a pending CSV review before applying it.
Add or adjust raw-to-normalized contractor mappings, then re-run a pending CSV review before applying it. The normalized contractor field suggests known contractors and manually added contractors.
Add or adjust raw-to-normalized bureau / department mappings. Applied mappings are used for generated analytics and CSV review. Review candidates are shown for awareness only and are not applied as mappings.
Potential machinery-of-government linkages are kept separate from applied mappings until explicitly confirmed.
