AI Semantic Profile
The AI-extracted primary asset, work phase, and semantic tags on each tender
AI Semantic Profile
The semantic profile is Cothon's structured reading of what a tender is actually about. It appears as a card on the tender detail page and feeds the work-phase filter in the tender browser.
What the Profile Contains
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Primary asset | The main thing being procured or worked on — a building, a road, a software system, a service |
| Work phase | The phase of work — for example design, construction, maintenance, or operations |
| Semantic tags | Short descriptive tags characterizing the work |
| Extraction confidence | How confident the AI is in its reading, shown as a percentage |
Note
The semantic profile is a descriptive extraction, not a score. It tells you what the tender is; it does not rate how well it fits you. For fit, use Match my capabilities in the tender browser or the capability assessment on a saved opportunity.
Why It Matters
Tender titles are often vague ("Provision of services — Region 3"). The semantic profile cuts through that:
- Triage faster — see at a glance whether a notice is a construction job, a design contract, or a maintenance renewal.
- Filter by work phase — the work-phase values extracted here power the work-phase filter in the browser, so you can scan only the phase of work you do.
- Compare like with like — the primary asset and tags make it easier to relate a tender to your past work.
Reading the Confidence Value
The confidence percentage reflects how much clear signal the tender text gave the extractor:
- High confidence — the description clearly stated the asset and work involved.
- Lower confidence — the notice was short or ambiguous; treat the profile as a hint and read the solicitation documents.
Profiles are generated from the tender's published text. A tender with a one-line description will produce a thinner, lower-confidence profile than one with a full scope statement.
Generating a Profile
Most tenders carry a profile automatically. Where one hasn't been generated yet, the detail page lets you trigger generation for that tender.
Next Steps
- Tender Detail View — where the profile card lives
- Browsing & Filtering — using the work-phase filter and capability matching
- Opportunity Intelligence — deeper assessment after saving
