How Strategic Pursuit scores this program
Run a city dossier and our AI cross-checks ACS demographics, 5-year USAspending award history, FEMA disaster history, and CEJST/Justice40 + HUD designations against this program's rules. You get a clear eligibility, strategic, and competitive answer — with the city's own hard evidence ready to anchor the narrative — instead of a generic match badge. And if it's a no-go, you'll know before you spend the month.
The dossier isn't the AI's guesswork — eligibility is decided by the rules, and the numbers come straight from official sources. The answer your reviewer will check line by line.
No credit card. 30-day trial, 3 dossiers, 1 seat.
