Scout keeps your team ahead of deadlines. When Civic AI indexes a new opportunity that matches a saved search, you receive a notification with enough context to decide quickly whether to pursue.

​
Set up Scout

1

Create a saved search

Follow Saved searches and Scout to define criteria that reflect work you actually want.
2

Enable notifications

From Scout in the app, turn on email notifications for each saved search.
3

Assign owners

Make sure someone on the capture team is responsible for triaging each Scout stream.

​
Scout hygiene

Review Scout quality monthly. Pause or narrow searches that produce irrelevant results — noise causes teams to ignore notifications entirely.

​
From Scout to pursuit

When a Scout notification arrives:
  1. Open the result and read deadline + set-aside + agency
  2. Run a quick go/no-go (fit, capacity, past performance)
  3. Add qualified opportunities to Pipeline
  4. Click through to the source portal for the full RFP
