§ 02 · Products · RFP Sentry — In build

Bid intelligence and compliance gate.

For capture teams who'd rather lose a deal at the bid/no-bid step than after writing the proposal.

Sister product to RFP Engine. Score RFPs for fit before you write. Compliance flags surface before submission, not after a debrief.

§ 01

Why Sentry exists

The bid/no-bid decision is where most capture teams already lose.

RFP Engine helps a team draft a strong response in their own voice. RFP Sentry sits one step earlier: it scores incoming RFPs for fit, surfaces the qualifying questions before anyone touches a Word doc, and flags the compliance landmines — set-aside requirements, mandatory subs, page-limit traps, conflicting eval criteria — that bury an otherwise winnable bid in the protest pile. Sentry is the gate; Engine is what runs after the gate clears.

In build means in build. We're shipping Sentry into a small set of capture teams in the studio's existing engagement portfolio first — the same install-then-productize path Sentinel and Vellum took.

§ 02

What Sentry does

Three capabilities, in build, against real capture pipelines.

01

Fit scoring

Fit scoring.

RFPs scored against your capability statement, past wins, and team capacity. The bid/no-bid call gets a number behind it.

02

Discovery cadence

Discovery cadence.

Federal, state, and foundation pipelines monitored on a fixed cadence. The RFPs you'd miss surface; the noise gets filtered.

03

Compliance flags

Compliance flags.

Set-aside, sub, page-limit, and conflicting-eval traps surfaced before draft. Protest-class issues caught at the gate.

§ 03

Early list

Join the early list.

We'll email you when Sentry ships, when we open the early cohort, and when there's something concrete to show. No newsletter, no drip — just the launch note.

§

The pair

Sentry decides what you bid. Engine writes what you bid.

Sister products on purpose. RFP Engine is live; RFP Sentry is the missing front half of the same workflow. Use Engine now; subscribe to the early list for Sentry. Or hire both as a managed Capture Pipeline retainer ($7.5K/mo).
