Questions

Frequently asked.

A single plain email, every weekday, by 08:00 Central. Data is collected each evening and the brief is compiled and scored overnight — what you open each morning reflects the latest public filings, nothing older. No app, no login.
We monitor public records including building permits, license registrations, and municipal filings across Texas. Our proprietary system collects and scores this data daily.

Your BD team can't practically monitor every municipal portal and license database across multiple Texas cities every morning. FirstStake gives them full daily coverage, already scored, so they spend their time on relationships and bids instead of data entry.
