Hunter opportunities

What an opportunity match score and fit label mean

Hunter scores each opportunity against your business facts, and the card shows the reason in plain words, not the number.

Hunter gives each open opportunity a score from your business facts. The score sets the order of Opportunities for you. The card does not show the number. It shows the reason. On the Pilot plan, the Opportunities page is locked. See Why an opportunity or Hunter action is locked.

What the ranking weighs

Click Why these? to read it. Hunter weighs four things:

  • Scope fit: how close the work is to your business categories.
  • Location: where the work happens and where you work.
  • Certification eligibility: your set-asides.
  • Past performance: the work that you have done.

If you gave no capability statement, Hunter uses general scope only. The panel says so and links to add one.

Example

Two roofing jobs are open. One is in your state and is set aside for a group that you belong to. One is far away. Hunter ranks the first one higher.

What Hunter cannot know

  • Hunter cannot know your real costs, your staff or your capacity.
  • A high rank is not a promise of a result. A low rank does not mean that you cannot bid.
  • Your facts may be out of date. Hunter ranks from what is on file.

✅ What to do next: Check the facts that Hunter uses. See Which business facts affect opportunity matches?.
