The $14M problem: Outdated database issues

Every 24 hours of data latency = Lost opportunities worth millions

Grant seekers make critical decisions based on RFP deadlines that change hourly, yet most databases refresh only once every 24-168 hours.

The real cost of stale data

  • Missed Deadlines: RFPs expire while sitting in outdated databases.
  • Lost Trust: Users abandon platforms with stale information.
  • Revenue Impact: ~$14.6 million lost in grants undercuts premium renewals.
  • Team Chaos: Manual monitoring creates duplicated efforts and missed updates.

  • Local agents: Monitor changes every 5 seconds.
  • Cloud monitors: Automated monitoring every minute.
  • Instant alerts: Real-time notifications to Slack, email, or ETL pipeline.
