Refraction™ / The intelligence platform
Connect the dots
around your company.
An account is part of an industry. Refraction connects the data and relationships that help you understand where it fits—and what to do next.
Observe. Analyze. Understand.
01 / Observe
Bring the data you need.
Connect information from any source: federal contracting records, CRM and pipeline data, licensed intelligence, marketing systems, and your proprietary datasets. Integrations are configured around your sources and permissions.
Location-based intelligence, DSPs, and social platforms are part of that picture. They are capabilities within Refraction, alongside the data that makes your business different.
02 / Analyze
Relationships turn records into context.
Explore the industry around your company: agencies and incumbents, contracts and capabilities, competitors and adjacent opportunities. Move from an account to the relationships that explain its place in the market.
Aperture adds daily federal contracting intelligence. Your own data adds the priorities, experience, and knowledge that public records cannot supply.
Aperture integrates with a network of 50+ satellite imagery providers.
03 / Understand
One pursuit.
Two teams in sync.
Capture can follow the contract, incumbent, timing, and NAICS codes. Marketing can use that same context to focus its strategy on the audiences that matter to the pursuit.
The work is different. The intelligence stays connected. Each team can see why an account matters and communicate what has changed.
04 / Build
Your applications.
Your proprietary models.
Clients can build applications on top of the graph and run their own proprietary models. Use Refraction as the intelligence foundation for the workflows your team needs.
Connect analysis to action through your systems, including advertising and social platforms. Define the data, access, and integration requirements around your organization.
