April was a refinement month. We sharpened the questions on the 1Form so they are easier to answer correctly, gave review teams better signals about what actually needs a closer look, started rolling out public profiles, and closed a few gaps in the bidding flow. Here is what shipped.
A clearer, more precise 1Form
We went through the 1Form and tightened the wording so subcontractors spend less time second-guessing what a question is asking. Construction license options now use full, official names, the OSHA 300A page was renamed and reworded to be clearer about what is required, and the ESOP section now captures more detail when a subcontractor has a plan in place. Small changes individually, but together they mean cleaner data going in and fewer back-and-forth corrections later.
Verification cues for review teams
Reviewers can now see which financial fields were calculated by the system versus pulled directly from a document. A verification icon appears next to the relevant fields and in the sidebar, so your team can focus their attention on the values that need judgment instead of re-checking everything line by line. Faster reviews, with effort spent where it matters.
Public profiles begin rolling out
Subcontractor public profiles started going live this month. Subs get a shareable profile backed by their verified COMPASS data, along with in-app help explaining what the public site is and how to use it. It is the first step in turning a completed 1Form into a business development asset, not just a compliance record.
Tighter bid integrity for sealed projects
We closed a gap where a subcontractor could still submit or edit a bid after the due date had passed on a sealed project. Bids now lock at the deadline as expected, so the process stays fair and the results are trustworthy for everyone involved.
