Win the bid before you submit it.
Here is the category nobody else owns: not faster writing, not compliance coverage, not win-probability from history — a buyer-side evaluator that scores your own draft against the solicitation’s stated rubric. RapidRFP reads the buyer’s evaluation criteria and scores your draft the way their board will — factor by factor, with adjectival ratings, strengths, weaknesses and a prioritized fix list — while you still have time to fix it. One engine; the rubric is configured per vertical.
Inside Proposal Scoring
Built as part of one agentic system — every capability hands off cleanly to the next.
Everyone else scores their own writing. We score the buyer’s rubric.
The incumbents — Responsive, Loopio, AutogenAI — score their own AI answer quality (“confidence”, “trust” scores) or your win probability from past bids. The GovCon tools build compliance matrices and deliberately keep scoring human. None of them simulate a buyer-side evaluator grading your draft against the solicitation’s stated criteria. That is the gap RapidRFP is built on — and it inverts the question from “help me write faster” to “tell me if I’ll win.”
- Not answer-quality or “confidence” scoring — the buyer’s rubric
- Not win-probability from history — your actual draft, graded
- Not just compliance coverage — a predicted score per factor
- The one capability every other tool leaves to a human red team
The first evaluator of your proposal is no longer human
Federal agencies have begun using AI to screen and summarize proposals before evaluators read them — flagging strengths, weaknesses and compliance gaps in minutes. If the government will grade your proposal with AI, you should grade it with AI first.
- Mirrors how agencies now triage submissions
- Catches what a tired color team misses at 2am
- Turns the evaluator’s rubric into your checklist
- Runs entirely on your own content — never source-selection data
One engine, every rubric — configured per vertical
RapidRFP ingests whatever the buyer published — Section M factors and subfactors for GovCon, a weighted vendor scoring matrix for IT and systems integration, a best-value or QBS committee’s criteria for construction, a SLED point-scored rubric, a commercial scorecard — and scores each section the way that evaluator will, with the reasoning and cited evidence behind every score.
- GovCon: Section M factors & subfactors, SSEB-style
- IT / SI: weighted vendor matrix with pass/fail gates
- Construction: best-value & QBS / SF 330 committee scoring
- SLED & commercial: point-scored rubrics & scorecards
Strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies — and how to fix them
You get an evaluator-style write-up for each factor: the strengths a board would note, the weaknesses and deficiencies that cost you points, the risks they’d flag — and a prioritized list of the changes that move your rating up the most.
- Strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies & risks
- Adjectival / color rating per factor
- Prioritized, highest-impact fix list
- Every finding traced to the text that triggered it
Fix it while you still can — then re-score
Work the fix list, hand changes back to the drafting agent, and re-score until the rating is where you need it. Stop finding out what evaluators thought at the debrief, when it is too late to do anything about it.
- Re-score after every revision
- Watch the rating climb factor by factor
- Feeds straight into color-team review
- Submit only what you have already seen scored
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.
