How BidPilot works

Create an account. On Facts & evidence, load the Evidence library first: short true statements (past projects with buyer contacts, license # + expiration, insurance limits) and approve each — drafts cite only approved rows. Then fill Company profile (services, geography, contract size) and approve it for go/no-go scoring. Profile fields are not automatically copied into proposal text. Starter set for a dense draft: 3 past projects, 1 license, 1 insurance.

Paste or upload the solicitation before you pay. BidPilot parses buyer, deadlines, scope, and mandatory requirements, then surfaces top packaging risks (bonds, prevailing wage, sealed-copy quirks, tight deadlines). No charge for this snapshot.

When the snapshot looks right, unlock analysis on that same job — no re-upload. Bid/No-Bid ($99) is go/no-go + matrix. Readiness ($199 founding) adds strategy, evidence-grounded draft, and RI award-catalogue bid amount. Complete Draft deepens the draft further.

Compares mandatory requirements against your approved evidence (never assumes unknowns are satisfied). Scores fit across nine factors and recommends pursue, pursue with conditions, partner, monitor, or decline. The score is decision support, not a calibrated award probability.

Builds the requirements matrix: source, mandatory status, planned response section, evidence status, and risk. Included in Bid/No-Bid and higher packages. Exportable as CSV.

On Readiness and Complete packages only: designs win themes, writes first-draft sections from approved evidence only, and proposes an advisory bid amount from BidPilot’s Rhode Island award catalogue — each cited comp includes its public source URL. Missing facts become [CUSTOMER CONFIRMATION REQUIRED] placeholders — never invented. Pricing always requires your approval. Bid/No-Bid stops after the matrix.

Claim verification and compliance review run automatically. You may be asked to answer clarification questions, continue after the go/no-go screen, or review flagged items before delivery. Those gates are part of finishing the package you already unlocked.

Download the decision, matrix, and (on higher tiers) draft. One revision is included on draft packages. You complete forms, wet-ink items, pricing, and packaging, then submit to the buyer yourself.
