How to Generate a Community Report on Outrider
Step-by-step instructions for generating Community Reports that aggregate technology landscape data for a specific mission area or topic.
Overview
Community Reports give government agents a synthesized view of the technology ecosystem around a specific challenge area — covering company density, readiness levels, and contracting activity.
Step 1: Navigate to Reports
From your dashboard, click Reports > Community Report. You can also generate a report directly from any Topic page by clicking Generate Report.
Step 2: Define the Report Scope
Choose your parameters:
- Topic or keyword: The technology area to analyze
- Time range: Limit results to recent activity if needed
- Company filters: Set-aside status, size, geography
- TRL/MRL thresholds: Filter by technology maturity
Step 3: Generate the Report
Click Generate. Reports typically take 15–30 seconds to compile depending on scope. You'll see a progress indicator.
Step 4: Review the Report
The report includes:
- Executive summary of the technology landscape
- Company count and diversity metrics
- Top-matched companies with readiness scores
- Recommended next steps for procurement
Step 5: Export or Share
Download the report as a PDF or share a view-only link with colleagues. Reports are saved in your account under My Reports.
