Six-year reporting clock starts the day you win. Sonar runs the cadence as a quarterly habit, not a deadline scramble.

How long does a BEAD packet take to assemble?+
Operators on a unified platform report 10 to 14 days from kickoff to submission. Operators stitching evidence from spreadsheets, billing exports, and standalone GIS tools commonly take 8 to 12 weeks.
What's the most common BEAD application rejection?+
Documentation mismatches between operational data and financial statements. State broadband offices score precision over polish.
Does Sonar handle the 6-year subgrantee reporting?+
Yes. Reports build directly from the same operations workspace your dispatchers, billing team, and CFO use every day. No separate compliance silo.
Can Sonar map coverage at the address level?+
Yes. Location Tools handles address-level service coverage with served, underserved, and unserved classification per location, plus eligibility scoring against ACP and BEAD criteria.
