Decision tools

Make the next move clearer before you make the proposal bigger.

These quick guides support practical judgment by turning opportunity noise into a better question and a clearer next move.

New / Proposal readiness report

Want a fuller pre-review before you chase the deadline?

Answer eight high-level questions and get a client-facing report card for qualification, strategy, evidence, and production readiness. It is a better conversation starter than a mystery PWin.

02 / Service path chooser

Which kind of help fits the moment?

Start the check

03 / Safe-sharing check

What belongs in the first request?

Start with enough information to triage the opportunity, not enough to create a data incident.

Keep it high-level.

Do not send classified information, CUI, export-controlled data, source selection information, or proprietary third-party material through the public intake.
