frwrd.sprint

One bid. 72 hours. A straight answer.

An RFP just dropped and you're not sure it's worth chasing. The Sprint is a fixed-fee read on that one solicitation: a compliance shred, an honest bid/no-bid call, and if it's a go, the outline to build on. No subscription, no commitment.

ONE BID72 HOURSCREDITED IF YOU CONTINUE
PRICE
$7,500

Flat, forever. Never scoped, never discounted — the same number for everyone. No hourly meter.

TURNAROUND
72 hours

From when you hand over the solicitation to the readout. Built for a live clock.

THE CREDIT
100%

Credited in full against your first pursuit fee. For serious bidders, the read is free in retrospect.

It starts with 90 minutes

Before anyone reads the solicitation or writes a word, we run a Discovery Session — 90 minutes with your team. No slides. Just questions and space.

We start simple — what are you trying to win? — then ask why, and ask again, wide and deep, until the real drivers show up. It’s the part a body-shop won’t spend unbilled, and it’s where the bid gets easier to aim.

What 90 minutes does

  • Assumptions fall apart
  • Priorities snap into focus
  • Scope gets smarter
  • The proposal gets easier to aim

What lands on the table

A compliance shred

Every 'shall,' 'must,' and 'will' pulled from the solicitation into a compliance matrix — Sections L and M mapped to the scoring, the mandatory forms flagged, the disqualifiers surfaced before they sink you.

A bid/no-bid recommendation

A written call, not a vibe: where you're strong, where you're thin, who the competition likely is, and the honest probability this is worth your B&P money. If it's a no, we say so — and you've saved a week of work for the cost of a read.

An outline mapped to the win

If it's a go, you get a scored-to-the-criteria outline and the win themes to build on — a compliant structure to write into before a line of prose exists.

A 30-minute readout

We walk you through it live, answer the questions, and tell you exactly what we'd do next. You own the call; we make it an informed one.

Why start with a Sprint

You're testing us on one bid

A mid-size proposal run by a consultancy costs $40K–$75K. A freelancer bills $150–$200/hr and walks. The Sprint is a few thousand dollars to find out whether we're worth more — on a real bid, with real stakes.

The honest no-bid is the point

If the read says walk away, you've saved a week of B&P money and the opportunity cost of a bid you'd have lost. We turn away work we don't think you'll win. That's the whole position.

No pressure to continue

If the Sprint earns it, the fee credits toward a subscription and we keep going. If it doesn't, you keep the work product and we shake hands. The Sprint stands on its own.

The terms, plainly

  • One flat fee. Never scoped, never discounted — the same number for everyone.
  • Delivered in 72 hours from when you hand over the solicitation.
  • Credited in full against your first pursuit fee. For serious bidders, the read is free in retrospect.
  • One named senior operator owns the work and the call, learns your business, and builds a pursuit memory you keep. Professional proposal tooling and agents tuned to your business carry the volume, under their hand.

Where the Sprint leads

The Sprint is the front door to a fractional proposal department — a standing team you rent by the month. If the read earns it, you can keep going:

frwrd.membership

$6,000/mo.The seat: a named senior operator, your pursuit memory kept current, unlimited go/no-bid reads, and guaranteed pursuit capacity. Ten seats; when they’re full, there’s a waitlist.

Pursuit fees

$15,000 / $30,000 / from $60,000, priced by contract value — under $1M, $1M–$10M, $10M+. Fixed once agreed, graphics included, no hourly meter. Your Sprint fee credits against the first one.

Need a figure that scores? On a pursuit, the workhorse graphics your response needs come built in — or stand alone at a flat $200 each.
