Bid Analysis
Turn an estimator's afternoon into a 1–3 minute analysis.
Hank reads a bid and its attachments in one to three minutes: a public solicitation, a private owner RFP, or a general contractor's invitation to bid. You get the scope, dates, contacts, criteria, compliance requirements, risks and a working checklist beside the source documents.

A complete read, not a document summary.
Hank separates what the buyer wants from how it evaluates the response and what could make a submission noncompliant. When source material is missing, Hank leaves the gap visible instead of filling it with an assumption.
- Scope, key dates, point of contact and submission instructions
- Evaluation criteria, compliance items and clarifying questions
- A tickable submission checklist shared by the pursuit team
Requirements extracted

Left visible
The solicitation names a night-work window for two segments but never defines the hours. Hank flagged it as a question for the Sep 12 Q&A instead of assuming.

What teams ask.
A typical analysis completes in one to three minutes, with visible progress while Hank reads the documents. That turns the afternoon an estimator or proposal lead often spends extracting requirements into a review-ready pursuit brief.
