Business development is proof, people and timing

Ailtir builds two graphs. The market graph maps every project, company and person in your market, updated daily from planning, funding and company records. Your company graph is private: everything you've built, and everyone you've built it with. Fia is the agent that connects them, finding the projects you can win and the people who can get you in.

Proof · Your company graph
The track record that makes the introduction land
Fia matches your track record to upcoming work, so you chase the jobs you can win.
People · Your network
Work is won through people
You, your team, your company: Fia searches everyone you know to find your way to the decision maker.
Timing · The market graph
Months before the announcement
Fia starts at the first public signal that names the site. In ten of fourteen backtests that landed 2 to 26 months before the client said a word.

Backtests

Get in before the list exists

By the time a tender list reaches you, the client has picked the site, the budget and the design consultant. Fia starts at the first public record that names the site.

  • The same fourteen projects, two ways of hearing about them. Every dot is a real date from the public record.

2 to 26MONTHS BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT

How early a public record first named the site, on ten of the fourteen cycles rebuilt from the public record.

MONTHS BEFOREAFTER

You can still bid late. You just bid worse. The average bid-hit ratio is 38%, and firms say they're stepping back from single-stage tenders to chase the clients they already know. Gardiner & Theobald, Q3 2025.

Fourteen Irish life-sciences cycles rebuilt from the public record. Ten had a public signal naming the site 2 to 26 months before the client announced anything, one more on the day itself, and Lilly's Kinsale peptide plant, off the left edge at 62 months, was only disclosed once it was built. On three cycles a contractor was working before the planning file was lodged; those are not plotted on the lower row.
