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 the software enforces: 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.

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 below. 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 by design: authored examples and previously visible records disappear the moment any class check is incomplete, stale, or unavailable.
