For Canadian companies that sell to government, or to the primes that doHow does your company measure up
DewLine shows how your company measures up on Canadian sovereignty and procurement readiness. Answer a short questionnaire, and DewLine researches the public record and returns an evidence-backed report of about six pages, in your browser and by email, that you keep.
Request your assessmentHow it worksFrom a short questionnaire to a report you keep.
Four steps.
Your name, work email and company website, and your permission to prepare and send your report. You confirm the right legal entity and the offering you want assessed.
What you sell, where the work is delivered, the subcontractors that matter, and who you sell to: government directly or a prime. Add a tender link if you have one.
Registries, government releases, your own website and trade press, read against stated criteria. DewLine's AI reads public sources only, never your answers. Every finding keeps its source, its date and the exact quote.
In your browser and by email, as a PDF with a private link. Correct or add an answer and you get a new version of the report.
What the assessment covers,
each dimension on its own.The five dimensions are never averaged into one score, and international dependencies are reported, not failed automatically. Unknown means no evidence was found yet. It is not a failure, and evidence completeness is shown separately.
Federal procurement now favours
Canadian suppliers.The federal policy prioritizing Canadian suppliers and Canadian content in strategic procurements took effect on December 16, 2025. When a bid asks for evidence, a company that cannot show it may leave points on the table.
Sources: CanadaBuys policy page and supplier questions and exceptions
The policy covers competitive strategic procurements. On June 15, 2026 the threshold for covered procurements dropped to C$5M.
A 10% Canadian supplier preference applied to the financial proposal for evaluation only, and Canadian content worth 25% of total points, or an alternative price-based method. The price actually paid does not change.
These mechanisms apply only where a solicitation uses them, and exceptions exist. Foreign ownership alone does not exclude a company under the general Buy Canadian approach.
DewLine shows which evidence supports your position and what is missing. It never decides or predicts eligibility.
About six pages, built from evidence you can check.
1. Executive assessment
Your company, the offering assessed, the date and report ID, the five dimensions, evidence coverage, the strongest findings, dependencies and unknowns.
2. Identity and boundaries
Who was assessed, your footprint, and exactly what the assessment covers and does not cover.
3. Five-dimension findings
For each dimension: the conclusion, the evidence behind it, why it matters commercially, its limits and the next evidence to add.
4. Dependencies
The providers you rely on, who controls them and under which jurisdiction, how concentrated they are and how replaceable, only where the evidence supports it.
5. Canadian procurement implications
Where you may have an advantage, the conditions it depends on, the evidence still needed and the next step, in priority order.
6. Evidence register and method
Every material claim with its source, publication and access dates, the quote and its provenance. Public evidence, your own statements, inferences and unknowns are kept apart.
Unknown is not failure. Where evidence is missing, the report says so and shows completeness separately. Where sources conflict, the report shows both.

Three details and your permission. We reply within two business days.Before you request
Is this a certification?
No. The report is not a certification, a compliance ruling, legal advice or a guarantee of eligibility for any tender. Contracting authorities decide eligibility.
Is the report a government score?
No. DewLine is independent of government, and it does not produce or predict an official procurement score. The five dimensions are reported separately and never averaged into one number.
What happens to my answers?
They build your report and nothing else. Written rules assess them, and the platform's AI model never sees them. Access is private by default, and your answers and report never go into analytics or prospecting. Correct an answer at any time and you get a new version of the report.
Does DewLine use AI on my answers?
No. DewLine's own AI reads public sources only: it extracts facts from public pages and drafts the narrative about public evidence. Your answers, corrections and tender details never reach it, and stay in Canada [JOHN: residency line pending DW7]. If you want a model to work on your own content, you can connect your own, under your own agreement with its provider. That choice is opt-in and named on your report, and every model call is logged with the model and whether the content was public or yours.
Does DewLine contact anyone about my company?
No. DewLine reads public sources. Your report goes only to you, and nothing is sent to your suppliers or customers.
Where is my data stored?
[JOHN: hosting line pending DW7] Real customer data is kept only on approved Canadian production infrastructure, and provider residency is verified, not assumed from a region name.
What if the evidence about my company is thin?
Unknown is not failure. The report marks what it could not find, shows how complete the evidence is, and lists the next evidence to add.
What DewLine is not. The report is not a certification, a compliance ruling, legal advice, a customs-origin determination or a guarantee of tender eligibility, and it does not decide whether you qualify for any procurement. The five corporate dimensions and the Canadian procurement lens are reported separately and never combined into one score. Missing evidence shows as unknown, not as a pass or a fail. Every public finding carries its source and a quoted passage. Policy facts on this page were checked against CanadaBuys on October 28, 2026.
