Data-driven research series
Federal Opportunity Research
Federal Opportunity Research is CaptureIQ’s recurring, data-driven research series. Each edition interprets aggregate federal opportunity volume and mix from CaptureIQ’s shared SAM.gov and Grants.gov catalog—not republished RFP or grant text.
Pulse (weekly), Intelligence Brief (monthly), and Benchmark (quarterly) editions land here after human Approve & Publish. Figures that are CaptureIQ-derived (workload benchmarks using the same 52h / $85 model as public counters) are labeled in each edition’s methodology footer.
Use this hub to follow market rhythm without drowning in keyword noise: scan the latest Pulse for volume shifts, dig into Briefs for trends, and use Benchmarks for longer-horizon agency and set-aside context.
