About the data
Every data page on lakewave.ai is built from public records, rebuilt nightly, and stamped with the date it was built. Nothing is estimated and nothing is scraped from sites that forbid it. Here is where each section comes from and what it counts.
Government technology contracts ending
Source: State and agency contract registers and published award records.
Refreshed: Nightly
What is counted: Technology contracts with a published end date in the next 12 months. Amounts are the published contract value, not spend to date.
Open government technology bids
Source: State, county, city and school district procurement portals and legal notices.
Refreshed: Nightly
What is counted: Open solicitations with a future due date. Past bidders come from the agency's own tabulations where it publishes them.
Public construction bid results
Source: Published bid tabulations from public agencies.
Refreshed: Nightly
What is counted: Every bidder named in a tabulation, with the low bid. A firm page needs a minimum number of results to be published.
E-rate funding
Source: USAC Open Data: Form 471 commitments (two funding years) and open Form 470s.
Refreshed: Nightly
What is counted: Commitments by service provider, applicant, consultant and equipment maker. Provider, applicant and consultant pages have minimum-size floors.
Rural Health Care funding
Source: USAC Open Data: Rural Health Care commitments and open requests for services.
Refreshed: Nightly
What is counted: Commitments by provider and state. Open requests with at least a week left before the posting closes.
Building permits
Source: City open-data permit feeds (Chicago, New York).
Refreshed: Nightly
What is counted: Project-scale permits issued in the last 90 days, with the general contractor and the trades named at the same address.
Fastest-rising private companies
Source: SEC Form D filings, company job boards, published growth lists, IPO filings.
Refreshed: Nightly
What is counted: Private companies with public growth signals in the last 12 months, ranked by the number and recency of those signals.
How to read a page
Each page opens with its as-of date and a one-sentence summary of what it shows. Dollar figures are the amounts in the public record, not Lakewave estimates. Where a record names a source document, the page links to it. Tables longer than a screen show their first rows in full; the rest is available to signed-in users.
Corrections
If a page misstates something, use the "See something wrong? Tell us" link at the bottom of that page. Corrections are applied at the next nightly build.
Citing Lakewave
You are welcome to cite any page. Please link to the page and include its as-of date, since figures change nightly as new records are published.
