How we work
Built up in stages — locked in by the last one.
We treat a proposal the way you'd treat any load-bearing structure: each stage has to hold before the next one goes on top.
01
Discovery
We start with the opportunity itself: the incumbent landscape, your cost data, and what the solicitation is actually asking for. This is where we figure out what "competitive" means for this specific bid.
02
Build
We construct the pricing model and basis of estimate — labor categories, rates, escalation, and the assumptions that tie it all together — built to be defensible, not just plausible.
03
Pressure-test
Before anything goes final, we stress-test the model against how an evaluator is likely to read it: what looks unrealistic, what looks unsupported, and what a competitor might price differently.
04
Submit
We lock in the strategy, finalize the volume, and make sure your cost and technical narratives are telling the same story before it goes out the door.
Timelines scale with your RFP turnaround — we plug into your schedule, not the other way around.
