Stage 01 · Find
Government publishes the answer first and announces it almost never. The engine continuously locates the programs, datasets, reports, dashboards, and software across federal, state, and local sources, and notices the moment any of it moves.

Where this sits
What Find means here
Government publishes the answer first and announces it almost never. The engine keeps a continuous watch across federal, state, and local sources, so the moment a program, dataset, report, or deadline appears or moves, it is caught while it still matters, instead of surfacing weeks later when the window has already closed.
What a find produces
When the engine locates something, it does not just bookmark a link. It records what kind of source it is, where it lives, and what changed since last time.
The artifact itself: a program page, dataset, report, notice, or portal, identified by kind.
The exact government origin it was found at, so the trail back to the source starts here.
The date it was seen, which becomes the anchor for noticing the next change.
Whether it is new, changed, or retired since the last sweep, so nothing moves in silence.
Why this stage earns its place
COVERAGE
One sweep across the levels of government that publish the programs you care about, so nothing important lives in a source you forgot to check.
FRESHNESS
Known sources are watched for movement, so a quiet revision to a deadline or an amount reaches you instead of slipping past.
SHAPE
Documents, datasets, filings, notices, and portals are all in scope, because the answer is rarely in just one format.
Why it matters
The answer is usually already public. The work is knowing where it lives and noticing when it changes, before it costs you a deadline.
