Downrange / Manual
A practical guide. Skim the tiers, then jump to the workflow you need.
Downrange is an event intelligence layer for tough tech. It watches funding announcements, conferences, launches, deadlines, hearings, and community meetups across the TEE sectors, then delivers them to your calendar with editorial context on why each one matters.
Downrange is gated. Public accounts get the marketing overview. The working tools — browsing, calendar feeds, personalization, and the dashboard — open up at Operator or above.

Workflow 1
Filter by sector and event type. Click any card to read the TEE Take — the editorial summary of why the event matters and who should pay attention.
Workflow 2
Downrange publishes .ics feeds you can subscribe to in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or anything that speaks iCal. Events appear automatically and update as details change.
Workflow 3
The setup wizard takes about two minutes. Your persona, sectors, and urgency preferences shape the dashboard and personalized ranking.
Workflow 4
/downrange/dashboard is the Operator command center. Four panels give you the week at a glance.
Yes, at least Operator. Public accounts can read the marketing overview at /downrange and see a preview of upcoming events, but the event feed, calendar feed manager, setup wizard, dashboard, decision windows, and clusters all require Operator or higher.
See the pricing page for plan details.
The editorial note that sits at the top of every event detail page. It is our read on why the event matters, who should care, and what to watch for. We write it. It is not scraped from the source.
The span of time during which you can still act on an event. Usually it's the gap between announcement and registration or submission deadline. The dashboard's Action Required panel counts down inside this window.
The things you need in hand before the event or deadline. A federal solicitation prerequisite might be an active SAM.gov registration. A conference talk prerequisite might be an accepted abstract.
A named group of related events across time. Clicking the cluster badge on any event takes you to the cluster page, which shows every event in the arc and how they connect.
The discovery pipeline runs regularly across all sources. The dashboard and the events page always reflect the most recent run. Calendar feeds in your calendar app refresh on whatever schedule the app uses, usually every few hours.
Two common causes. First, you may not have completed the setup wizard at /downrange/setup. Second, your urgency preference might be set to Critical only and there may be no act-now items in your sectors this week. Drop it to All significant and the feed will fill in.
Re-run the setup wizard. It overwrites the previous answers. To wipe learned engagement signals as well, toggle adaptive learning off and back on from the same page.
Open /downrange/feeds and rotate your access token. Every URL containing the old token stops working immediately. Copy the new URLs into your calendar apps to restore access.
Use the suggestion form on /downrange/events. The editorial team reviews every suggestion. Accepted events flow into the pipeline with a TEE Take attached.
Same suggestion form on /downrange/events. Describe the issue and the event. Editorial fixes typos, corrects dates, and removes cancelled events on every pipeline run.
