The evaluator's view

Most proposals lose on findings the bidder never saw coming

Evaluators must document every weakness and deficiency they find. Most are fixable before submission. Nobody on your team is paid to find them. I am.

Unaddressed Section M factors

You answered Section L. The board scores against Section M. The gap between the 2 is where ratings drop.

Significant Weaknesses that were fixable

A flaw that "appreciably increases risk" can sink an otherwise compliant bid. Most take hours to fix once flagged.

Claims without proof

Evaluators can't award strengths for what you didn't substantiate. Unsupported claims score as risk, not capability.

Example finding (Standard audit)Offeror claims "proven surge staffing" with no named personnel, letters of intent, or historical ramp data. Under the staffing factor this scores as a Weakness: unsupported capability increases performance risk. Fix: attach 2 signed contingent-hire letters and cite the actual ramp from your last contract.

Proposal Audits, Scored Against the Government's Own Standard

Every audit applies the published source-selection standard (FAR 15.304/15.305) to your draft: adjectival ratings, strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, deficiencies, and a prioritized fix plan. Priced up front. No discovery call required to see the number.

Every button above books a 30-minute scope call, not a checkout. You pay after scope and the conflict check are confirmed. I take 2 reviews per week.

Terms up front: the turnaround clock starts when your complete draft and solicitation are received and payment clears. Larger proposals are quoted before you pay, never after.

You will put 80 to 200 unbilled hours into this response before you submit it. A Standard review costs less than 1 week of that time, and it is the only step in your process that scores the proposal the way the board will.

Your proposal never leaves the vault.

Mutual NDA before you upload (ours or yours). Files move by secure link, never email attachments. Your materials are used only to perform your review, are never shared with any other client, and are never used to train any AI model. We do not accept classified information or documents marked CUI: redact first, and contact us if you're unsure. One review per solicitation: if we are already engaged on your RFP, we decline and refund in full, confirming only that a conflict exists. We never identify any party or confirm whether anyone else is bidding.

Before you ask

Straight Answers

Who actually reads my proposal, a human or an AI?
A human reads every page. Every audit is performed personally by the founder. AI tooling runs compliance cross-checks (Section L/M traceability, requirement coverage) under a zero-data-retention configuration. It never trains on your content. The findings and ratings are human judgment, signed by name.
Is my proposal confidential?
Yes. Mutual NDA before upload, secure file transfer, no sharing with any other client, deletion after the engagement on request. We do not accept classified material or documents marked CUI: redact first, or contact us and we'll work from a redacted copy.
What exactly do I receive?
Standard tier: a scored evaluation workbook with an adjectival rating per factor, every weakness, significant weakness, and deficiency documented with the specific fix, plus a prioritized action plan. Express delivers the compliance matrix and top-10 weakness list. Premium adds an executive summary rewrite, a live debrief call, and 1 re-score.
Your lane is cloud and AI. Why should you score my IT proposal?
The audit scores compliance, substantiation, and risk against the government's published standard. Those mechanics are identical across industries. Domain-specific technical judgment is flagged as such, not scored blind. And the founder's technical lane is AWS SA Pro-level cloud architecture, so IT proposals are home turf.
My deadline is under 2 weeks. Can you turn it around?
Express exists for exactly this: 72 hours from receipt of your complete draft and solicitation, availability confirmed when you book. Call before you buy if the deadline is inside 5 days.
Do you also compete for the contracts you review?
No. We do not prime, sub, team, or advise any other party on a solicitation we review, from the start of your engagement through award. We take one review per solicitation. If a conflict exists we decline and refund in full, confirming only that a conflict exists. We never identify any party or confirm whether anyone else is bidding.
