1. Pull
Every three hours the desk asks World Bank and TED for the newest page of notices and stores the text. A feed with no success in six hours is marked stale and left out of the public totals.
How the desk runs
This is the loop the buttons and the timer follow. A step that cannot be done honestly stops and asks you.
2. Match
Every half hour, and when you press Run match and read, each unpaid or active account is matched by trade phrase and country. A match starts in New. Inactive and canceled accounts are skipped.
3. Read
Active accounts under the 200 reading cap get a verdict: pursue, review, or skip. Each verdict quotes a line from the stored notice. Skip moves to Skip. Pursue and review move to Reading. Unpaid accounts stay matched and unread.
4. Open
When a supplier opens a notice, New becomes Reading. If the account is active, that notice is read immediately. The supplier then moves it to Pursue, Skip, or Submitted. Submitted means they filed on the official portal. This desk does not file.
5. Mail
A digest row is recorded once per local business day, and only when there is a pursue or review. Nothing is emailed until a mail provider is connected. The preview on the supplier desk is the same list.
6. Queue
Draft posts and help tickets wait here. A bot can write a draft. Only you can approve it. Approval stores the decision. It does not publish to LinkedIn.
The desk never files a bid, never stores a portal password, and never calls an account paid because Polar has not reported a payment. Award prices stay empty unless the feed publishes them.
