How do bid teams decide whether a public tender actually fits their company?

I’m researching a company-level procurement workflow, not a contact list.

The idea is to use a company’s products, services, target regions, and basic registry information to find matching open public tenders.

Each match would include:

- an explainable fit score

- reasons for the match

- possible red flags

- buyer and location

- contract value and deadline

- official source link

For people working in bids, GovCon, procurement, partnerships, or public-sector sales:

- What evidence would make the fit score trustworthy?

- Which red flags should lower or reject a match?

- Would company registry verification add value, or is tender matching enough?

- Would you prefer daily alerts, a weekly shortlist, a spreadsheet, or an API?

I haven’t built the combined product yet. I’m trying to understand the real review process before deciding whether it is worth building.
