Email mattbusel@tensorust.com with the tier and a billing contact, and we will send a proper invoice (ACH or card). The file is delivered once the invoice is paid. Details and the live sample: https://tensorust.com/datasets/erate-late-invoice-rescue/. All datasets: https://tensorust.com/datasets/

Method and limits

From the Nov 6 2026 national FRN pull, keep FRNs whose invoice deadline is before Nov 6, extension not used and extension window close on or after Nov 6; flag the $0-disbursed subset and the original ontology rule set; roll up per applicant.

Not a filing service (we do not request extensions), not a vendor lead list, no contact names or emails. Rows go stale fast: an extension or invoice posted after Nov 6 removes the risk.
