Win the bid before you submit it.
RapidRFP scores your draft against the buyer’s own evaluation criteria the way their board will — a rating per factor, the strengths and weaknesses they would write down, and the fixes that move the rating most.
Then it grades it — factor by factor.
The same rubric the board will use, applied to the draft you have right now.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about proposal scoring.
It parses the solicitation’s evaluation criteria — Section M factors and subfactors, or a point-scored rubric — and scores each section of your draft against them, returning an adjectival/color rating with the strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies an evaluation board would note. It is a simulation to sharpen your draft, not a guarantee of the agency’s actual rating, and it runs entirely on your own content.
