If you bid on Canadian contracts. Im looking for (2-3) testers? (No cost - for testing purposes)

I’m an engineer and I’ve been building a system that watches Canadian public tender feeds and tries to answer a pretty simple question:

Which opportunities are actually worth spending time on?

Not “here are 40 notices that matched your keywords.”

More like: here are six that seem relevant to you, here’s why I’d probably skip two of them, and here’s what you should verify before you spend 40 hours putting a bid together.

I’m looking for a few people that actively bid on Canadian tenders and goes through that friction often.

filter opportunities based on what your company actually does, where you work, and the types of contracts you don’t want.

catch obvious blockers early, like security clearances, eligibility requirements, or excluded categories

show the case for and against pursuing an opportunity, with the source behind the reasoning

keep track of what you decided and why, instead of having that knowledge disappear into someone’s inbox or spreadsheet

It’s not perfect yet, we are at the testing phase, and we are still gathering insight. Looking for legitimate procurement practitioners. It’s free to use (this post is not promotional).

Let know if this would be useful.

Thanks and take care.

What’s your passion project, close to your heart you’re currently grinding on?

What hurdles did you have to do through?

Im a new redditor.
Genuinely interested in everyone’s background and story.

Been running an agent in prod for a few months.. Real stuff, acts on its own on a schedule.

The thing that’s eaten the most of my time is that I couldn’t tell when the agent was quietly lying to itself (and me).

Ex: mine kept marking actions as done that just weren’t. Model says “saved it” or “found X”, the run looks green, but the actual side effect isn’t there. Not malicious, it genuinely thinks it did it. Nothing downstream notices, so it piles up and you find out way too late.

What helped was giving up on trusting the step’s own output. “I saved it” is the agent’s word for it, not proof. So now a dumb little check confirms the real thing actually landed (row in the db, file on disk, whatever), and if it didn’t the step fails loud instead of passing quietly.

That fixed the immediate stuff. The part I still don’t have a good answer for is the slow version. An agent can do the right thing today and quietly stop working three weeks later, and I won’t know unless I go digging.

curious how people actually handle this:

how do you check the agent did the thing vs just claimed it?
