Services
What We Do
Every service is built around one question: does your proposal give an evaluator enough to justify the rating you need?
Evaluator Edge Call
$250 for 30 minutes
A focused 30-minute call where we review your pursuit from the evaluator's perspective. Bring your solicitation number, your Section M, and your biggest concern. You will leave with specific findings an evaluator would flag and a clear picture of where to focus before submission.
What is covered
- Review of your Section M subfactors and their relative weight
- Identification of your highest-risk areas before you invest more writing time
- Specific language an evaluator would hesitate on
- Recommended next steps based on your timeline and contract value
Who this is for
Proposal Managers, Capture Managers, and BD leads who want an independent read before committing to a full engagement.
Section M Review
$750 to $1,500
A single proposal section evaluated against your specific Section M criteria. We read what you wrote the way an evaluator will and identify exactly where the written record falls short of supporting a high rating.
What is covered
- Subfactor by subfactor assessment tied to your exact Section M language
- Specific weaknesses an evaluator would document
- Suggestions for what evidence or language would strengthen each subfactor
- Probing questions to answer before submission
- Plain language findings you can brief to your proposal team
Who this is for
Volume Leads and Proposal Managers who want an independent evaluation of a specific section before it goes to final review.
Price varies based on number of subfactors and contract value. Contact us to discuss your pursuit.
Ongoing Pursuit Support
$2,500 to $5,000 per month
Consistent evaluator-lens support throughout your proposal development cycle. Built for contractors with active pursuits who want Section M alignment built into every draft, not just checked at the end.
What is included
- Up to 2 Section M reviews per month on one active pursuit
- Priority email response within 48 hours
- Direct access to Michael via email
- One 30-minute check-in call per month
- Review of RFP amendments that affect Section M criteria
- Debrief feedback after award decisions
What is not included
- Proposal writing or drafting
- Reviews on more than one active pursuit simultaneously
- Attendance at proposal team meetings or color reviews
- PWS or SOW development
- Price or cost strategy
- Legal advice or teaming agreement review
- Compliance matrix creation
Who this is for
Capture Managers and Proposal Managers at companies with a steady pipeline of federal pursuits who need ongoing evaluator support rather than one-time reviews.
Retainer engagements begin with a discovery call to confirm fit.
Red Team Support
$5,000 to $15,000
A complete pre-submission evaluation that brings an evaluator's lens to your Red Team. Your team knows the proposal better than anyone. This adds the read of someone who has actually sat on a government source selection board.
What is covered
- Full proposal read from the evaluator's perspective
- Section M alignment check across every volume
- Weakness documentation in the language evaluators use
- Priority action items ranked by subfactor weight
- Final evaluation report suitable for briefing to leadership
What this adds to a Red Team
A Red Team tells you whether your proposal reads well. This tells you whether it scores well. You want both.
Who this is for
Proposal Managers on major recompetes or high-value new awards where the cost of losing exceeds the cost of the review many times over.
Pricing depends on proposal length, number of volumes, and timeline urgency. Contact us to discuss.
