Straight answers about how LeadSifter works.
Short articles on accuracy, coverage, data, pricing and what happens when things change. Written by the people who built it.
Accuracy
How accurate is it?
What “accurate” means for a document reader, how we measure it against hand-read lettings, and what a 3 really tells you.
Read →Will it miss projects?
Where misses come from (scanned plan sheets, odd item names), and how the keyword review catches them.
Read →What does a score of 5 mean?
How the 1–5 scale is built from quantities, item numbers and how directly the item names your product.
Read →Coverage
Which states do you cover?
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota today. How new states get added, and how to ask for yours.
Read →Do you read county and city lettings?
Not yet. Why state DOT lettings came first and what local coverage would take.
Read →What about federal and tribal projects?
Which federal-aid projects show up through state lettings, and which don't.
Read →The data
Is DOT letting data public?
Yes. Where each DOT publishes it, what's in a proposal, and why reading it is the hard part.
Read →How soon after a letting is posted do I see it?
The timeline from a DOT posting to your 7:30 a.m. email, and what happens with late addenda.
Read →Do you share my product list with anyone?
No. What we store about your company and who can see it.
Read →Pricing
Reliability
What if a DOT changes its website?
It happens. How we monitor for it, how fast it gets fixed, and what you'll hear from us in the meantime.
Read →What if the email doesn't arrive?
Quiet days versus delivery problems, and how to tell the difference.
Read →Who do I call?
Reply to any report. A person at LTC Software Solutions in Onalaska answers.
Read →Didn't find your question?
Ask it on a demo call, or send it with a sample report request and we'll answer it in the reply.
