Cross-domain footprint
An agency that buys, funds research and consults on regulation is one entity in three registers. OppShop merges them and shows the whole picture on a single timeline. Add a free patents key and companies join the same graph.
Free & open public data · licence-gated
Everything on an organisation,
across every public-money stream.
Government publishes who it pays, who it funds, what it is consulting on and what it has approved — in a dozen incompatible feeds. OppShop pulls those feeds, resolves the organisations behind them to a single entity, and puts one organisation's tenders, grants, research funding and regulation on one timeline.
Live in this build
The signals it derives
Individually these feeds are records. Joined on the organisation, they answer questions no single feed can.
Over-budget contracts
For US awards, obligated spend is compared to the contract ceiling. Anything over the ceiling, or sitting above 98% of it, is flagged — a public overrun that nobody publishes as such.
Withdrawn & changed
Every run diffs against the last. An opportunity that disappears, or flips to cancelled, is the signal. A source that simply broke is suppressed, so a failed ingest is never reported as a hundred withdrawals.
Three rules, enforced by the register
Free and open only
Free APIs, open-data portals and public datasets. No paid data, no purchased feeds, nothing behind a licence you cannot inspect.
Licence-gated reuse
Nothing is ingested without an entry in the register carrying its licence and its commercial-reuse status. An absent or unknown licence is treated as not reusable.
No prohibited scraping
APIs, open downloads and RSS. Sites that forbid scraping are never scraped — council DA pages come via aggregators and state open-data portals instead.
Values are never converted between currencies. This dataset spans AUD, USD, GBP and EUR. Summing them would produce a number that is wrong in every currency, so totals are reported per currency and rankings by value are grouped by currency.
