Before You Act
Review before you wait
Use these checks before spending time, registering, preparing documents, contacting a source, or following up.
- Step 1Open the original source.
Confirm the item from the agency, organizer, business, property, or source owner.
- Step 2Check timing.
Look for a deadline, event date, opening date, review date, or last-checked date.
- Step 3Read the status.
Know whether the item is open, closing soon, upcoming, a signal, or still a candidate.
- Step 4Choose your next move.
Decide whether to act now, prepare, monitor, use a guide, or move to another lane.
Source Checks
Verify the source before trusting a deadline update
A useful opportunity update should make the action and uncertainty clear enough for an Austin operator to decide what to do next.
Clear source
The item should point back to an official, local, organizer, property, business, or close-to-source page.
Clear timing
The page should make the relevant date easy to find before the reader commits time.
Clear next step
The item should tell the reader whether to act, prepare, monitor, use a guide, or choose a different lane.
