The problem it solves

Putting together a government bid means researching past awards, pricing out labor and overhead, and finding qualified subcontractors, all before you even start writing the proposal. It's slow work with a real cost if you miss a detail.

Who it fits

A small business or contractor bidding on government contracts.

How it works

  1. A contract opportunity is identified and reviewed
  2. Comparable past awards are researched for pricing context
  3. Potential subcontractors are identified
  4. Labor, overhead, and profit are calculated into a cost breakdown
  5. A full draft proposal is written and emailed to you for review
What you get

Bid proposals drafted with costs worked out

What you get

A draft bid proposal with a cost breakdown and subcontractor list, ready to review and refine.

What you need

A document tool such as Google Docs and an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
