Vetted for hidden disqualifiers. Reasoned. Defensible.
Tell us what your company does — it takes about 60 seconds. Within 48 hours you get a reasoned shortlist: three live federal opportunities worth pursuing, and one that looks right for you but isn't — so you can see how we think. Free.
Requirements match your core capability. Incumbent's contract expired without renewal — genuine competition. Section L asks for three past-performance references sized under $2M; that favors small primes. No clearance wall, no facility requirement.
Right NAICS, right size, right agency. But buried in Section C: a senior developer certification with 10+ years of federal acquisition experience and an active Top Secret clearance — a combination almost nobody holds. You'd have found it on hour six of proposal work. We flag it in minute one.
Every readout cites the actual solicitation sections the verdict rests on.
1. Triage
Is this real, funded, and current?
2. Eligibility
Hard disqualifiers first: set-aside fit, certifications, clearances, facility requirements.
3. Strategy
Does it fit what you actually do — not just your NAICS?
4. Effort vs. win
Proposal cost against realistic win probability.
5. Decision
PURSUE or SKIP, with reasoning you can put in front of leadership.
