05 Pursuit

Pursuit.

Where the next work comes from: real GETS tenders ranked for an architecture practice, the pipeline, and what it means for the months ahead.

The tenders are live. The pipeline and fees are the Example practice’s, run through the same forecast logic the Workforce dashboard uses.

Fig. 05.1Tender hunt

GETS · 87 notices · last 30 days

New GETS notices from assembl’s knowledge pipeline, ranked with the Workforce radar through three lenses: architecture and design, buildings, and refurbishment and consenting. A batch of near-identical notices folds into one lead. Roading and pipe work is left out.

Newest notice in the feed: 30 Oct 2026 · checked 8 Nov 2026

A lead is something to check on GETS, not a recommendation to bid. A director decides.

Fig. 05.2Fee forecast

Next 12 months · Example figures · below break-even this month

November is $6,600 short of break-even. 1 lead could start by then and could fill it within free capacity.

Won work counts in full; everything else counts as fee times likelihood, spread evenly over its months. Signals and work on hold are left out. Example break-even $72k a month.
