Solicitation breakdown
Requirements, deadlines and evaluation criteria pulled from the RFP into one list.
Custom software for government contractors.
Every proposal starts with a long solicitation and a short deadline. We build tools that break down the requirements, find your best past work and give your team a strong first draft.
Common problems
Where the time usually goes.
Today
- Compliance matrices take days
- Past performance is hard to find
- Contract reporting is manual
With the system
- Software reads the solicitation and drafts the requirements matrix for your proposal team to check.
- Search your past proposals and write-ups, with links back to the source.
- Hours, costs and deliverables come together from your systems instead of spreadsheets.
What we can build
Examples for your kind of organization.
Every project starts by looking at how your team actually works, so yours may look different.
Proposal library
Reusable write-ups and past performance, searchable and kept up to date.
First drafts
Draft sections from your own approved content, for writers to edit.
Opportunity tracking
Bid decisions, deadlines and teaming partners in one place.
Contract reporting
Hours, costs and deliverables tracked against each contract.
Review workflow
Color team reviews with clear owners, comments and deadlines.
Handled with care
What we watch for.
If your work involves controlled unclassified information, tools and hosting must meet your contract's requirements, such as FAR and DFARS clauses and CMMC where applicable. We plan hosting, access and data handling around those requirements from day one and work with your compliance lead. We don't claim certifications we don't hold, and this isn't legal advice.

Documents piling up
Contracts, forms, invoices, reports. The information your business needs is locked inside PDFs, and someone has to read each one.

The request went out on Monday. By Friday, nobody knows who has it. The person who needs to approve it never saw it, or forgot.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can AI write our proposals?
It can draft from your approved content, so writers start from a strong first version. Your team still decides the strategy and writes the final words.
Can it run in our own environment?
Often, yes. We plan hosting and tools around your security requirements before building anything.
