There is competition amongst the phone cracking companies. And there's a limited amount of municipal money available. So they need to differentiate themselves from each other somehow.

There is good data that celibrite can break every phone out there right now, except for grapheneos... But I've heard no such data about this company. This means we can only speculate.

So if I was a municipality, and I wanted to decide who got my limited budget, I'd want to compare who's giving me the best value for money. So I would need some metric, some data point, some way to differentiate them. That's where reporting, would come in. The websites are public for a reason...

The websites are there to get a phone call. No municipality is spending this kind of money without a 3-quote requirement and demos. (Unless there is a preexisting relationship/renewal)
