Multi-source aggregation with de-duplication
Separate notices for one event collapse into a single record. Conflicting fields keep source attribution instead of silently picking one value.
01The problem
Information is not scarce — it is scattered
The expensive part is not the entry fee, it is missing out. In the same track, some people know the schedule two months ahead while others see a forwarded link a week after it opens.
- The same competition reports conflicting dates and prize figures across channels, with no way to tell which is authoritative.
- Dozens of events per year across dozens of sources — manually refreshing pages cannot be complete.
- Deadlines have no unified reminder, so saving an item and forgetting to submit is the most common failure.
- Filtering by track, scale or region is impossible because no structured data exists anywhere.
02Capabilities
From ingestion to reminder
Structured filtering
Filter by track, scale, organiser and deadline; results are directly usable without a follow-up spreadsheet pass.
Subscriptions and deadline reminders
Subscribe to a track or keyword and get pushed reminders as deadlines approach, so remembering to submit is the system's job.
Saved items and a project workspace
Collect the events you intend to enter and manage application material and milestones in one place.
03How it is used
Three steps to be current
- Filter. Narrow by track and deadline to fix the set of events worth attention.
- Subscribe. Save the filter as a subscription so new events arrive on their own.
- Track and be reminded. Move chosen events into the workspace and work backwards from each deadline.
