Hunter, Grant and your mentor: who does what?

Hunter finds and ranks work, Grant reads one opportunity and gives a call, and your mentor reviews it with you.

Hunter, Grant and your mentor do three different jobs. Hunter finds work. Grant reads one piece of work. Your mentor gives you a person's view. On the Pilot plan, opportunity pages are locked, so Grant is not available. See A page says I need a different plan.

Who does what

HelperWhat it doesWhere you meet it
HunterFinds opportunities, scores them for your business and ranks them. You can also ask Hunter a question.Opportunities, Forecasts, Small Orders
GrantReads one opportunity and gives a call with reasons.Show me the analysis on an opportunity page
Your mentorReviews one item with you in writing, or talks with you on a call.Review with Mentor, Mentor Reviews, Mentors

What Grant's call means

On the opportunity page, Grant gives one of three calls. The call does not decide for you.

CallWhat it means
BidGrant sees a way for you to bid on this work.
Needs reviewSomething needs a look before you commit.
No-bidGrant found a reason not to bid, for example a rule that blocks you or too little time.

Next to the call, Grant shows its Confidence. Two boxes show Prime path and Subcontract path. Each box says Go, No-go or Not yet.

Example

Hunter lists a cleaning contract near you at the top. You open it and click Show me the analysis. Grant says Needs review, because the notice asks for a certificate that you do not have yet. You send the item to your mentor. Your mentor tells you if you can get the certificate in time.

What these helpers cannot know

  • They know only the facts that you entered and the facts in the notice. Missing facts weaken the result.
  • Grant cannot prove that you are eligible. The buyer decides that.
  • No helper can promise a win.
  • A notice can change after Grant reads it. Check the official posting before you bid.

✅ What to do next: Find an opportunity and save it. See Find your first opportunity and save it. Then read how Grant reads it in Read an opportunity with Grant.
