contractor_signals
Given a federal contractor NAME, return its acquisition-likelihood / rising-contractor signal profile: a 0-100 pattern-based score with full reasoning, plus award-velocity, multi-year trajectory, agency/NAICS mix, biggest win, set-aside footprint, and (if public) SEC EDGAR ticker + recent corporate-event filings. Built on PUBLIC USAspending.gov + EDGAR data. Probabilistic leading-signal estimate — NOT certainty, NOT insider/MNPI, NOT investment advice.
