The Workbench.

The toolset every pursuit we run moves through, over a pursuit memory you keep. Three pieces of it are free on this page, no login.

What we run

Every bid moves through the same five tools, in order. They do the mechanical work: the reading, the matrix, the coverage check. They don’t make the call. A named senior operator owns every judgment, and that judgment is the part you’re paying for.

01

The Shredder

Paste Sections L, M, and C. Every “shall” comes back as one row you can defend — atomized, sourced, and flagged where the solicitation goes silent. It splits the compound requirements people miss, and it tells you when the RFP contradicts itself.

02

The Plan Builder

The kickoff. It takes the requirement, the scoring criteria, and what your firm actually brings, then returns a section plan detailed enough to draft from: objective, win themes, proof points with their evidence, the outline in the evaluator’s order, and the gaps you have to close first.

03

Preflight

Before anyone senior spends an hour on it. Every requirement graded answered, partial, or missing, with the sentence that answers it — and a read on whether an evaluator could score what you wrote at all.

04

The Eval Panel

Three reviewers on one draft: compliance, evaluator, editorial. Each scores it out of ten and names the risk in its own terms. It’s the color-team read without booking the room.

05

Editorial

It cuts the words that perform without proving and keeps the claim. Same commitments, made checkable. Nothing you promised gets dropped.

The part that compounds

Every matrix, plan, and review saves to the pursuit it belongs to. The next bid starts where the last one ended, because the answers are already written down and the commitments are already tracked. That’s the pursuit memory. It’s why the fifth bid costs less than the first.

You own it. It’s yours while we work together and it’s still yours if we stop. No export fee, no hostage.

Your firm is the tenant

Your workspace is walled off from every other firm’s. Your team shares one pursuit memory; nobody outside it sees a line of it. Controlled work stays in your environment or it doesn’t happen at all.

How you take advantage of it

The Workbench isn’t sold as software you operate alone. It comes with the person who runs it. Pick the depth you need.

$6,000/mo

Membership

The seat. Your own workspace, your pursuit memory built and kept current, a named senior operator who knows your business, and the whole toolset running on your live bids. Ten seats. When they’re full, there’s a waitlist.

$2,500/mo

Review

You write it however you like: by hand, with a freelancer, with an AI tool. We run the Eval Panel and the compliance pass over what you produce and flag what we find. You own the fix.

$750/mo

Compliance Club

One compliance review at a time, with comments. For first-time bidders and small teams who mainly need to know the submission won’t get thrown out.

Not ready to commit?A Sprint puts one live bid through the whole loop in 72 hours — the shred, the plan, a real draft. If you keep going, it’s credited. Every price is published.

Three of them are free

No login, no email, no demo call. Use them whether or not you ever hire us. If they tell you to walk away from a bid, walk away. That’s the tool doing its job.

An honest bid/no-bid read

Eligibility
Do you meet every hard requirement to even be considered?
Set-aside, NAICS / size standard, certifications, clearances, registrations.
Eligibility
Is the work squarely in what you actually do?
The core of the requirement, not an adjacent stretch you'd have to learn on the job.
Past performance
Can you cite relevant, recent past performance at this size and scope?
Work an evaluator will accept as proof you've done this before.
Customer intel
Did you know this was coming before the solicitation dropped?
Relationships, shaping, a sources-sought response — not finding it cold on SAM.
Competitive position
Is there an incumbent, and how is the RFP written?
Requirements wired to one vendor's strengths are a signal the race is decided.
Competitive position
Do you have a real discriminator — a reason they'd pick you?
Something specific and provable, not 'quality and commitment.'
Capacity
Can you produce a compliant, competitive response by the deadline?
The people, the hours, and the reviews — without torching the rest of the business.
Economics
If you won, is the contract worth what it costs to chase and deliver?
B&P to pursue, margin at the likely price, and the strategic value of the logo.
