Why This Tool Exists

⚠️

The Problem

AEC firms waste 10-15 hours per week manually searching multiple portals for relevant RFPs, often missing deadlines or pursuing poor-fit opportunities. Teams lack visibility into optimal bid-to-capacity ratios and struggle to make data-driven go/no-go decisions.

The Solution

AI continuously scans thousands of public and private RFPs, evaluating opportunities against firm history, certifications, geographic presence, safety records, and current capacity. Surfaces most relevant opportunities first with fit explanations and risk assessments before competitors find them.
