Public-sector project intelligence glossary

This glossary defines the terms Project-Pulse uses when describing evidence-backed early project intelligence.

Last reviewed 26 July 2026

Early project intelligence

Information that helps a commercial team identify, understand and prioritise a potential project before formal tender.

Early signal

A public record that suggests a project, programme, requirement or appointment may be forming. It is not the same as a confirmed tender.

Evidence-backed opportunity

An opportunity record that retains source evidence, publication details and an explanation of why the signal matters.

Commercial inference

A reasoned interpretation drawn from evidence, such as a likely next stage or possible appointment need. It should be treated as judgement, not fact.

Editorial and intelligence note

Project-Pulse provides business intelligence based on permitted public information. An early signal is not confirmation that a procurement will occur, and users should validate material opportunities against original sources and later updates.
