Services and approach

Built around one question: why should evaluators choose your team?

The standard package gives small GovCon teams government proposal writing, compliance management, and win strategy around the active opportunity. Capture planning is useful, but it is treated as a separate lane.

Planning prices

Budget the right kind of help before the deadline picks it for you.

These are typical engagement ranges based on the work we usually do at each level. After a short review, we confirm the agreed scope and price in writing before work begins. If the solicitation or requested scope changes, we agree to any price change in writing first.

Opportunity check

$1,500 fixed

Best for a live RFP, RFQ, or serious lead before the team commits to production.

  • Public-opportunity read and fit discussion
  • Evaluation and compliance pressure points
  • Written pursue, pursue-with-conditions, or no-bid recommendation

Win strategy sprint

$4,500-$7,500

Best when the team is pursuing and needs the proposal pointed in one credible direction.

  • Compliance map and evaluation read
  • Customer pain, proof points, discriminators, and themes
  • Section plan, ownership view, and review priorities

Proposal development support

$9,500-$18,500

Best for a live, scoped proposal with technical and management support, reviews, and final production.

  • Strategy carried into technical and management volumes
  • Color-team review support and production discipline
  • Pricing guidance, without full price-volume ownership

Advisory support

$275/hour or $2,500 per 10-hour block

Best for focused guidance, leadership working sessions, or a limited second set of eyes.

  • Working sessions with proposal leadership
  • Targeted section, theme, or review guidance
  • A defined block of time with the scope visible from the start

How scope is set

One review turns the range into a number.

We review the solicitation, volume count, available source material, due date, review cycles, partner coordination, and pricing complexity. Then we define the deliverables, schedule, and price in writing so the team knows the number going in.

What stays clear

Clear scope. Evidence-based guidance.

These ranges exclude full capture planning, past-performance development, full pricing narrative ownership, and complex pricing models. Every engagement begins with written deliverables and a confirmed price. Our guidance is grounded in evidence and tradeoffs; award decisions remain with the government customer.

What the opportunity check produces

A written recommendation your team can act on.

The $1,500 Opportunity Check gives the team a concise readout of fit, evaluation pressure, proof, teaming, schedule, and the issues that should control the bid decision. The recommendation is to pursue, pursue with conditions, or no-bid.

If the opportunity is viable, the readout also identifies the next useful service and the inputs needed to begin. It does not create a legal eligibility opinion or promise an award.

Illustrative readout

Pursue with conditions

  • Fit: relevant solution and customer need
  • Strength: supportable commercial delivery proof
  • Risk: team role and management evidence need work
  • Next gate: resolve the proof gap before production

Example structure only. Actual findings depend on the opportunity and team.

Standard package

What is included.

The goal is better pursuit decisions, cleaner evaluator alignment, lower proposal risk, and a process your team can repeat on the next bid. The package carries that discipline from the first review through final production.

Bid/no-bid review

A practical look at fit, timing, customer signals, evaluation risk, teaming realities, and whether the opportunity deserves your team's oxygen.

Compliance matrix

A clear map of instructions, evaluation factors, required responses, page limits, and submission details so the proposal does not wander off into the reeds.

Win strategy and themes

Positioning, discriminators, proof points, and evaluator-focused themes that explain why your team is the smart choice.

Technical and management volumes

Proposal content shaped around scoreable structure, clear ownership, risk reduction, staffing logic, and customer outcomes.

Color team reviews

Review cycles that check compliance, clarity, strategy, and persuasiveness without turning every comment into a philosophical event.

Production and pricing guidance

Final production support plus pricing guidance. Full pricing narrative development is not included in the first standard package.

Win strategy

A proposal strategy evaluators can follow.

A useful strategy explains the evaluators' likely concerns, the customer's mission pain, your strongest proof, your weak spots, and the specific reason your solution should outscore acceptable alternatives. Each section should reinforce that logic with clear, supportable evidence.

Scope boundaries

Related work stays clearly scoped.

Some needs belong in a separate engagement or with a qualified specialist. Naming them early keeps the first engagement focused, practical, and easy to manage.

Full capture planning, which can become a separate service

Past performance development in the initial package

Full pricing narrative ownership or complex pricing model development

Legal, accounting, CMMC certification, or procurement-integrity advice
