Sonar — Know about the $10M+ project first
Corridor capital-project intelligence · Louisiana

Know about the $10M+ project before your competitor does.

Sonar turns thousands of scattered public records into a live feed of the capital projects taking shape across Louisiana's petrochemical, LNG, and infrastructure corridor — each with its value, likely buyer, timing, and source.

The problem

By the time it's an RFP, the deal is already decided.

The firms that win the corridor's big projects hear about them months early — in a permit filing, a utility docket, a parish council agenda. Everyone else finds out at bid time, racing the same deadline with no time to position or team. Sonar closes that gap.

The platform

Every capital project on the corridor — scored, timed, and sourced.

Priority-ranked signals

A transparent 0–100 score from capital, confidence, and timing — so the projects worth a call rise to the top.

Alerts & digests

The new $10M+ signals for your territory, delivered — with value, likely buyer, and source attached.

Why it pays

We sell pipeline, not data. One won pursuit pays for years of Sonar.

1 project

A single $10M+ project you position for early — instead of discovering at RFP — returns the subscription many times over. Sonar is priced against the deal, not the data.

How it works

Five minutes on Monday. A pursuit you'd have missed.

Sonar is not another dashboard to check. It is set up once, and then it comes to you — and everything below is what a business-development lead actually does with it.

  1. 1

    Tell it your territory

    Three questions on your first sign-in — which parishes you work, which sectors, and how big a project has to be before you care. Sonar builds your saved filter and your alert from the answers, then shows you what is in it. No setup call, no implementation project.

  2. 2

    Read the Monday digest

    One email: what appeared in your parishes, what got bigger or nearer, and what went quiet. If nothing moved, nothing is sent. A weekly email with no news is the reason people write mail rules, so we don't send one.

  3. 3

    Work the Hot List

    High-confidence, $10M+, near-term — ranked, with a plain-English line under each one saying why it ranks where it does. Not a black-box score: "a billion-dollar project, moving inside two years" is something you can repeat to your principal.

  4. 4

    Ask it anything

    “What water and wastewater work is coming in Ascension?” Every answer cites the signals it used, so you can open the source. And when Sonar has no data on something, it says so instead of answering anyway.

  5. 5

    Run it as a pipeline

    Star what you're chasing, assign an owner, set the next action and a date. Your pursuits follow you across devices and your team can see where each one stands — a shortlist that survives a budget review.

The data

Every record is a public document, structured.

Sonar reads what parishes, utilities and agencies already publish — council agendas, permit filings, utility dockets, capital-improvement plans, procurement notices — and turns each one into a record you can filter, price and act on. Nothing is scraped from behind a login, and every signal links back to where it came from.

The five River Parishes are 56% of the database — they ring the New Orleans metro and are where the corridor's capital projects are. Orleans and Jefferson themselves are not currently covered; if your work is inside the parish lines of the city, say so on the call and we'll tell you straight whether Sonar is useful to you yet.

Questions

What firms ask us before they buy.

Where does the data come from?

Public records — parish council agendas and minutes, permit and regulatory filings, utility dockets, capital-improvement plans and procurement notices. Every signal cites its source so you can read the original. We compile and structure what is already public; we do not resell anyone's proprietary database.

How is this different from a bid board or an RFP service?

A bid board tells you a project has reached procurement. By then the scope is written, the incumbents are positioned, and you are one of eleven responses to a deadline. Sonar reads the stage before that — the council authorising a study, the permit application, the utility filing — which is when a firm can still shape the work. Different point in the timeline, different job.

How current is it?

Signals are produced daily and the platform tracks its own movement: what appeared, what escalated, and what went quiet since you last looked. If a project is withdrawn, you see that too — which is worth as much as a new one, because it frees a pursuit you were about to spend a month on.

Does it plug into what we already use?

Yes. Sonar is API-first, so signals can go straight into your CRM, BI or internal tools, and everything is exportable to CSV. Most teams start with the dashboard and the weekly digest and add the API once they know which signals matter to them.

What does it cost?

Pricing is set against the size of your territory and team, and quoted after a short call — we would rather scope it honestly than publish a number that is wrong for you. For context: on a mid-size design contract, the fee on one project you reach early is many multiples of an annual subscription.

What happens to our data if we leave?

Your pursuits, saved territories and exports are yours; we hand them over in a standard format and delete your account data within 90 days. Everything is stored in the United States, backed up every six hours, and copied — encrypted — to two independent providers. Our privacy policy sets out exactly what we hold and for how long.
