Federal Contracting CRM
Admin intake queue, readiness scoring, certification fit, client notes, next actions, and pipeline stage tracking.
FedFunding Intel Engine
Contracting intelligence, CRM, and client portal in one operating system.
Dr. McKnight gets a live command center for federal contracts, grants, SBIR/STTR opportunities, award history, readiness scoring, client roadmaps, and deadline alerts. Clients get a portal that shows exactly where they stand and what happens next.
Truth-first operating rules
Live federal data can change without warning. The system surfaces source, timestamp, and confidence state. SAM.gov status, certifications, legal eligibility, and NSF/SBIR solicitation numbers must be verified against the official current source before a final client recommendation.
No fabricated SAM status
No guaranteed win rates
All risks flagged
NSF/SBIR kept separate from contracting advice

Admin workflow
CRM stages for Dr. McKnight and the team.
The admin CRM starts with intake scoring and grows into weekly pipeline health, deadline monitoring, certification packaging, proposal tracking, and client win/loss reporting.
1
New Intake
Business owner submitted the readiness intake or booked a consultation.
Review score, flags, industry, NAICS, and missing documents before first call.
2
Readiness Review
ContractingPreacher AI scores certification fit, SAM status, risk, and revenue potential.
Confirm entity facts, validate SAM/UEI status manually, and assign the first 30-day action plan.
3
Capture Plan
Client is matched to agencies, NAICS/PSC codes, grants, contract opportunities, and award history.
Select target agencies, build watchlists, and set proposal or registration deadlines.
4
Active Service
SAM registration, certification package, proposal writing, or grant support is in progress.
Track documents, deadlines, next call, payment status, and blocker flags.
5
Win & Retention
Client has submitted, won, renewed, or needs ongoing pipeline management.
Record outcomes, set renewal alerts, and produce weekly pipeline health reporting.
Open data enrichment
