Where coverage stands today — straight answer. This Radar is early in its coverage. It watches five official source families on the Tuesday/Friday cadence (Port of Virginia feeds and rate schedule, USACE Norfolk District, NOAA/NWS alerts, SAM.gov procurement, Virginia Beach permits), and some weeks — like the current one, with 70 qualifying signals — produce a small set. We publish the real counts rather than padding them. Read the current free report and the archive first — they show exactly what a week looks like.

The free report shows the tide. The paid layer says when to move.

Both tiers come from the same scheduled edition. The difference is whether you spend your own hours working out which signals matter to your operation — or start from a readout where that work is done.
