Questions

1What do I get back?[+]

Two things. An Effort Estimate with the hours by section, and a Requirements Checklist with the file and page for every item.

2What kind of RFPs does it work on?[+]

Public sector RFPs, RFQs and tenders in PDF. Scanned PDFs without text won't work yet.

3Are my files private?[+]

Yes. Only you can see them, and they're only used to run your analysis.

4How accurate is the hour estimate?[+]

It's based on the real workload in your documents, so you know what you're signing up for before you start.

Before you write your proposal, find out if the RFP is worth your week.
