Signals
A merged, date-sorted feed of recent RTI news mentioning a tracked funder (25 tracked), the largest real federal award on record for each (3,914 contracts and grants worth $14.7B since 2007 on USASpending.gov), and recent events at 8 known competitor organizations.
About this feed
This is a first-pass snapshot, not a live alert system. Nothing here auto-refreshes or pushes notifications yet. Competitor data was seeded once via web search; funder data is re-derived from RTI’s own ingested news and publications whenever those are refreshed.
The New mark (1 below) is deliberately narrow. It marks items from the last 14 days that are also higher-priority: competitor contract awards and program launches, plus all tracked funder mentions. Routine competitor publications and market signals never get it, even if recent.
