What We Do

Signal, not noise.

01

We Read The Data

The USASpending.gov public API, every week — the full record, straight from the source.

02

We Report What It Says

What the numbers actually show — not what the narrative says they show.

03

We Flag What Matters

Anomalies, patterns, and pivot plays that give small operators a real edge.

Why We Exist

Palantir named themselves after a seeing stone that corrupted everyone who looked into it. They built intelligence tools for power. In service of power. Accessible only to power.

We built Gandalpha aka FedAlpha™.

Gandalf didn’t brief the kings. He found the hobbits. He gave small operators exactly the edge they needed at exactly the right moment.

The federal government obligates $700 billion annually. Every dollar is public record. The data is free. The API costs nothing.

Yet small contractors navigate this market blind while the big primes know what’s coming weeks before the solicitations drop.

That asymmetry ends here.

Everyone reports the tsunami. We report the water receding.

No schools harmed.
