From the reports

What the numbers actually say.

Each sentence below is quoted verbatim from the delivered report it is attributed to, and checked against that PDF every time this catalog is rebuilt.

A litigated appeal won at 71.4% this quarter, and that is the only rate worth planning against.

The published sustain rate is a floor on relief, not the odds of winning.
GAO Protest Quarterly 2026 Q1, Contractor EditionGCD-RR-GAO-2026Q1-CTR
For a contractor deciding whether to litigate, the honest base rate is roughly one in five, not two in five.

Frequently asked

Questions about buying a report.

What exactly do I receive?

Two files: the formatted PDF report and an Excel data workbook holding the report's figures as real rows. Both carry the report's GCD-RR catalog number in the file name, and the same number appears on the report pages and on your receipt.

Do I need an account to buy a report?

No. Checkout runs through Stripe as a guest purchase and your receipt goes to the email you enter there. If you are signed in to GovConDash when you buy, the purchase is also recorded against your account.

How and when is a report delivered?

Download links appear on the confirmation page the moment payment clears and are also emailed to you. Each link stays live for 30 days and allows up to 25 downloads. If a link expires or runs out, email support@govcondash.ai with your catalog number and it will be reissued.

Is the price really a flat rate?

Yes. Every report is $99, charged once, with no subscription attached. Reports are separate from the GovConDash dashboard plans, so buying one neither requires nor changes a plan.

What is the difference between a Contractor Edition and a Government Edition?

Both editions read the same quarter of decisions. The Contractor Edition is written for counsel, claims leads and contracts directors deciding whether and how to appeal; the Government Edition reads the same record from the contracting officer's and audit community's side. Each carries its own narrative, key takeaways and watch list, so pick the side of the table you sit on.

Can I buy both editions of a quarter together?

Yes. Every quarter that ships in both editions can be bought as a pair for $149, which is $49 less than two single purchases. One checkout, one receipt, and download links for both reports.

How is the Company Market Intelligence Report different?

It is prepared to order around the company you name at checkout, so it is not an instant download. It is delivered within 2 business days by download link and by email.

Where do the numbers come from?

The ASBCA and GAO reports are built from the full text of every decision in the period, analyzed and verified against the source documents. The market-intelligence reports are built from USAspending.gov award data, SAM.gov registrations and the cached SAM.gov solicitation feed. Every figure traces to a source, a section that has no grounded answer says so, and nothing in a report is legal advice.

Can I preview a report before buying?

Yes. Every downloadable report has a free sample PDF of its first pages, cut from the delivered file, plus a Preview pages button showing page images. Every detail page lists the report's sections, its page count and the worksheets in the workbook.

What if I need a refund?

Email support@govcondash.ai with your catalog number and the receipt email address. Once an order is refunded, its download link stops working.
