Opportunity Radar: Spot Opportunities Before Bidding

Problem

Early-stage opportunity signals are scattered, and sales or BD teams often engage only after public bid notices appear, missing the earliest positioning window. This skill targets business-ops and opportunity teams by turning an industry, product, or region into three scannable signal streams: proposed projects, procurement intents, and expiring renewments. It does not replace a CRM or human judgment; it organizes bid-related signals into a sortable, actionable pipeline.

How It Works

The skill parses conditions such as industry, product, region, and budget, then queries the Zhiliao Bid API for three signal types: projects in approval, planned purchases before bidding, and contract expiration windows. Results are ranked by value, and each item includes a next action, such as a contact window, tracking node, or watch item. For recurring monitoring, it can freeze the query into scheduled scans and report only new opportunities, forming an opportunity morning brief. Outputs emphasize traceability: amounts, dates, and organization names come from API responses, while missing information is marked as a data gap.

Boundaries

It is suitable for early opportunity scanning and list preparation, but not for deciding whether to bid on a specific published notice, preparing pricing strategy, or generating a full bid document. Use another tool for bid decision analysis, document drafting, or published data queries. API calls consume account credits, and full scans usually use more than single-stream scans.
