The market around it, Chile
Mercado Público is one of the named national channels in Chile. Beside them, 8 more sources publish their own notices; they are counted by category on the country page, never listed, because the complete source map is what sets the radar apart.
State companies are usually the most regular buyers in the country. Following them separately is not a detail: a share of the addressable market never touches the national portal at all.
What TRINTA does with it
Mercado Público is read on the TRINTA daily scan. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, then scores every notice 0 to 100 against what the company actually sells, with the reasoning shown. Procedure documents are retrieved and attached, and a short scored list arrives each morning.
