Question 1

How does ALIAS find opportunities relevant to my company?

Accepted Answer

ALIAS starts with a rich company profile that can be built together with your team, capturing your products, capabilities, customers, markets and specific areas of interest. It then compares incoming aerospace and defense information against that profile to identify and prioritize relevant opportunities. The matching also improves over time as you interact with ALIAS and provide feedback on what is and is not relevant.

Question 2

What sources does ALIAS monitor?

Accepted Answer

ALIAS focuses specifically on aerospace and defense sources, including program updates, government budget documents, trade publications, government procurement and solicitation portals, company announcements, and other relevant industry sources. Coverage extends beyond the United States to Canada, other NATO countries and key international aerospace and defense markets, providing a broader view of opportunities and market activity.

Question 3

How is AI used in ALIAS?

Accepted Answer

AI is at the core of the ALIAS platform. Recent advances in natural language understanding allow ALIAS to interpret what a company actually does and what its sales and business development teams are interested in, rather than relying primarily on traditional identifiers such as NAICS codes, keywords or part numbers. ALIAS applies this understanding across new aerospace and defense developments every day, comparing each item against the company profile to identify relevant opportunities and signals. This is particularly important given the scale of the market: SAM.gov alone can publish thousands of new opportunities in a single day, before considering other government portals, program updates, budget documents and industry sources.

Question 4

How is the information displayed and how are recommendations made?

Accepted Answer

Relevant developments are presented in a personalized intelligence feed, with the most important opportunities and market signals surfaced first. ALIAS summarizes the underlying information, explains why it may matter to your business, and provides a suggested action or next step. Recommendations are based on your company profile, the content and context of each development, and the system's understanding of your products, capabilities, customers and markets.

Question 5

Can I try ALIAS before subscribing, and is there a long-term commitment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ALIAS offers a one-month trial with no credit card required. The one-month trial provides enough time to refine your company profile and matching feed, which can take up to two weeks to reach a stable, high-performing level tailored to your business. After the trial, ALIAS is offered as a month-to-month subscription with no long-term commitment. You can cancel at any time.
