How PublicSift helps

From a large public source
to a smaller, useful question.

We do not treat a record as an outcome. We organize the source, add enough context to make it readable, and keep the path back to official information visible.

  1. 01Start with public sources

    Selected agency records and official datasets form the starting point.

  2. 02Collect and organize

    Relevant records are cleaned, classified, and grouped around a narrow use case.

  3. 03Add date and context

    Plain-language notes explain what the signal can — and cannot — tell you.

  4. 04Verify at the source

    Use the official record before making a business, outreach, or compliance decision.

Six focused services

Different records.
One practical standard.

Every service names its audience, source context, useful output, and most important boundary. Choose the signal closest to the work you do.

Local service signals

For teams working market by market

Dated public records, narrowed for local service research and human follow-up.

01Chicago · Property & field service

Chicago Roofing Signal

For roofing and field-service teams

Surfaces dated Chicago building-violation and permit-related records within a defined roofing family, creating a focused review queue with source context.

Keep in mindA record is not a confirmed lead or proof of a current repair need.

02Chicago · Food service

Chicago Pest Signal

For pest-control, hygiene, and IPM teams

Organizes dated restaurant inspection findings into a shorter review path for commercial service research.

Keep in mindA past inspection finding does not prove a current infestation.

03Chicago · New business activity

Chicago Restaurant Opening Signal

For restaurant suppliers and service partners

Groups license and permit activity by business and address to suggest when a potential opening may deserve attention.

Keep in mindThe attention window is inferred, not an official opening date.

Procurement & compliance signals

For considered, source-led research

Focused context for small teams reviewing applications, contract records, and historical inspections.

04Texas · Education technology

Texas E-Rate Firewall Radar

For MSPs, VARs, integrators, ISPs, and resellers

Focuses on certified Texas Category 2 Form 470 applications involving firewall, wireless, router, and network functions, grouped with application context and official-source paths.

Keep in mindAn application is not an award, purchase commitment, or proof of vendor eligibility. The service is not a raw-record mirror or an automatic outreach list.

05Federal · IT services

Federal Recompete Radar

For small federal IT and capture teams

Creates a review watchlist from NAICS 541512 award records and their periods of performance.

Keep in mindAn award end date is not a recompete, RFP, or procurement forecast.

Built around real workdays

The record is only the beginning.

Customers call. Routes change. Site visits run long. Bids and reviews still need care. PublicSift helps reduce the first round of searching so a person can spend more time understanding context and deciding what deserves attention.

Trust and limits

Useful enough to begin.
Bounded enough to question.

Source

Grounded in public records

Each service identifies the official dataset or agency context behind its signals.

Time

Dated, not assumed current

Dates and coverage matter. Records may later be corrected, delayed, or superseded.

Context

Classification is interpretation

Plain-language grouping helps review, but it does not turn a record into a confirmed outcome.

Action

Verification stays with the user

Check the official source and relevant rules before outreach, purchasing, or compliance decisions.

Service directory

Six paths into the work.

All six public previews are live. Each service opens on its own PublicSift destination with its coverage, source context, current signals, and limits clearly explained.

This brand site is the starting point: choose the service closest to your work, review its context, and verify any relevant record at the official source.

Questions, context, or corrections

There is a person at the other end.

Use support for a service, source, or record question. Use contact for partnerships and other business inquiries.
