Methodology

The defensibility is in sourced triggers, not scraped names.

Public Tally reviews public records for specific buying signals, source evidence, buyer needs, likely urgency, and recommended outreach angles. Public pages show only a capped rotating teaser projection.

How a state earns its way in

Five lifecycle stages, enforced in the system.

Every state moves through the same pipeline: it is requested, its source catalog is approved, verification checks run, the catalog passes, and only then can the state contribute live public samples. Anything less fails closed.

    live

    Current certified records may enter the capped public preview.

  2. 04

    verified

    Every required source class has passed verification.

  3. 03

    verifying

    Automated and human verification checks are underway.

  4. 02

    cataloged

    A source catalog has been reviewed and approved.

  5. 01

    requested

    Demand is recorded before an approved source catalog exists.

The six-class review, in the open

Six source classes, each on an automated freshness clock.

A live state holds a certificate across all six source classes. Each class is re-verified on its own automated window, certificates expire after 30 days, and one missing or stale class seals that state's public inventory shut.

Fail-closed

Authored examples and previously visible records disappear the moment any class check is incomplete, stale, or unavailable. By design, nothing bridges the gap.
