CaptureIQ workload benchmarks (derived)
CaptureIQ workload benchmarks below reuse the same modeling path as the live public counters (52h professional packet baseline at $85/hr). They are platform-wide all-time figures — not period catalog counts — and must not be read as federal market dollars.
| CaptureIQ-derived metric | Value | Provenance |
|---|---|---|
| Modeled hours saved (all-time) | 14886.7 | derived |
| Estimated operational value USD (all-time) | 1265369.5 | derived |
| Packets generated (all-time) | 258 | derived |
| Decisions logged (all-time) | 6 | derived |
Capture interpretation
This monthly Brief emphasizes mix shifts (agency, NAICS, type, set-aside, geography, domain) versus the prior month-length window so capture teams can rebalance pursuit themes.
Award-size bands from USASpending.gov are not merged into these opportunity counts; see methodology. Volume and composition are the primary evidence base for this edition.

Methodology
Source: public SAM.gov and Grants.gov records processed by CaptureIQ. Calculations and modeled estimates are CaptureIQ analysis. Methodology & labeling Date range analyzed: 2026-07-01 through 2026-07-31 (July 2026). Prior comparison window: 2026-05-31 through 2026-06-30. Record count: 8 catalog notices in period (8 SAM.gov, 0 Grants.gov). Rows scanned: 1,000. Sources included: structured fields from the CaptureIQ shared catalog (company_id=1), fed by SAM.gov and Grants.gov ingest. USASpending.gov is not included in opportunity counts for this edition. Exclusions: Operator/synthetic demo notices are not separately filtered here — shared catalog company scope only; USASpending.gov award rows are not included in these opportunity counts. Deduplication: One row per notice_id in the shared catalog table for company_id scope; posting date from posted_date/run_utc/created_at_utc precedence. Per-metric approach: public metrics are direct counts or structured-field tallies (agency, NAICS, type, set-aside, geography, posting month, title-keyword domains, amendment/recompete heuristics, response-window samples). Derived metrics are shares, medians, period-over-period percent change, and CaptureIQ workload benchmarks. CaptureIQ-derived metrics reuse packet_builds_52h_minus_gen_and_1h_review_at_85_usd (as_of 2026-08-22T18:06:49.525Z) — identical to live public counters; never a second parallel model. Limitations: catalog scope is ICP/vertical-filtered, not federal-universe totals; title heuristics can false-positive; response windows require both posted date and deadline; award-size bands require USASpending aggregates not yet wired into this series. This article does not reproduce raw RFP or grant solicitations, notice IDs, or full descriptions — statistical interpretation only. Every listed metric carries provenance public or derived. Unlabeled derived figures are blocked from review.
Frequently asked questions
Does this report cover all of SAM.gov and Grants.gov?
No. Counts reflect the CaptureIQ shared catalog (ICP and vertical sync scope), not the entire federal posting universe.
Are individual RFPs or grant solicitations republished here?
No. This series publishes statistical aggregates and interpretation only — never raw solicitation text or notice dumps.
What do public vs derived labels mean?
Public metrics are direct counts from structured source fields. Derived metrics are percentages, medians, period-over-period changes, or CaptureIQ workload benchmarks computed with the same 52h/$85 model as the live public counters.
Is USASpending.gov included?
USASpending.gov is used elsewhere in CaptureIQ for award intelligence, but this edition’s opportunity counts are SAM.gov + Grants.gov catalog fields only. Award-size bands are not merged into the public tallies here.
