What Argus does and how to use it effectively.
Dashboard
Executive overview. KPIs at a glance, spending trends, top agencies, and a pulsing insight panel calling out expiring contracts. Click 'View All Opportunities' to jump straight to renewal targets.
Discovery
Raw transaction explorer. Search across every agency, vendor, keyword, or description. Filter by year or product. Click any row to see the full transaction details — including the original PO description from the Excel source.
Companies
Vendor-first view. All companies sorted by total spend, with product keywords and the top agencies that buy from each one. Click a vendor to see which agencies drive their revenue.
Analytics
Deep-dive charts. Spending trends, keyword battles (which products are winning over time), competitor market share, agency type breakdown, and deal size distribution. All filterable by state.
Frequently Asked
Public sector contracts typically run 3–5 years. An agency whose last purchase was 3–5 years ago and had meaningful historical spend (> $10K) is very likely to be in the renewal window right now. Argus surfaces these automatically.
Opportunity score = historical spend × recency-in-renewal-window. An agency that spent $5M four years ago scores higher than one that spent $100K five years ago. It's not a probability — it's a prioritization signal.
Use the state pills at the top of every page. 'All States' aggregates the dataset; selecting a single state filters every chart, list, and KPI.
Yes — a Region row appears with North / Central / South / Statewide pills. State-level agencies (Florida Department of X) are tagged Statewide since they don't anchor to a specific city.
