Proposal Draft Generation

“RAG-powered section-by-section proposal writing grounded in your past work”

Proposal Draft Generation uses Retrieval Augmented Generation to create section-by-section proposal drafts. The system searches your Vault for past proposals, technical approaches, and capability descriptions, retrieves the most relevant content for each section of the current solicitation, and adapts that content to address the specific requirements and evaluation criteria of the new RFP. Generates Volume I (Technical) and Volume II (Management) drafts exported to Word.

Key Capabilities

What it does

RAG-Powered Content Retrieval

Searches your Vault for proposals, white papers, and capability descriptions relevant to the current RFP, retrieving content at the paragraph level and transparently showing which source documents each section draws from.

Section-by-Section Generation

Generates content for each section specified in Section L, ensures every Section M evaluation criterion is addressed, maintains consistent terminology throughout, and generates transition language for narrative flow.

Compliance Assurance

Cross-references generated content against Sections L and M, highlights requirements needing additional specificity, ensures page limits are respected, and flags areas where past work does not fully address current requirements.

Export and Collaboration

Exports to Word (.docx) with proper headings, numbering, and formatting; section-level comments indicating source material; tracked changes mode for team review; and version control for multiple draft iterations.

How it Works

Simple steps to get started

1

Upload the solicitation and populate your Vault

Ensure your Vault contains relevant past proposals and content.

2

RAG engine retrieves relevant content

The most relevant content for each section is pulled from your Vault.

Export to Word for team refinement

Distribute to your proposal team to review, refine, and add strategic win themes.

Why it Matters

The problem this solves

Writing a federal proposal from scratch is one of the most expensive activities in government contracting. Experienced proposal writers cost $150-$300 per hour and a complex proposal can take 2,000-4,000 labor hours. Proposal Draft Generation reduces first-draft writing time from 200+ hours to under 8 hours while grounding every paragraph in your firm's actual past work.
