GridWatcher Archive · Early Access

A permanent, tamper-evident record of public infrastructure contracts.

Government contract and disclosure records change — and sometimes disappear. GridWatcher Archive takes daily cryptographically-chained snapshots so the public record stays verifiable, point-in-time, forever. Neutral infrastructure for journalists, researchers, and civic watchdogs.

How it works

1

Daily Capture

We snapshot federal & state contract sources (USAspending, SAM.gov, FPDS, Data.gov, EPA/DEQ, grid queues) every day.

2

Cryptographic Chain

Each snapshot is SHA-256 hashed and Merkle-chained to the last, so any change is provable and nothing can be silently altered.

Query any record as it existed on any date, see diffs over time, and export.

GridWatcher Archive is neutral preservation infrastructure. We take no political position — we keep the record accurate, complete, and independently verifiable.
