## What does this mean?

Proposal teams submit higher-quality responses faster with clear, consistent guidance that reduces rework and improves win rates.

Ingests the drafted RFP response along with the defined scoring rubric and required criteria, evaluates each section against those standards, and outputs a section-by-section scorecard with gaps, required fixes, and a final readiness score.

## Workflow steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Submit drafted RFP response">
    The Workflow begins when a proposal team member uploads the drafted RFP response along with the scoring rubric and required criteria that define what a winning submission looks like.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Parse and structure the response">
    Cassidy breaks down the RFP response into its individual sections, preparing each one for evaluation against the defined standards.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Evaluate each section against criteria">
    The Workflow scores each section against the rubric—identifying gaps, compliance issues, and areas that fall short of requirements.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Compile section-by-section scorecard">
    Cassidy assembles findings into a detailed scorecard that highlights what's working, what needs fixing, and specific guidance for each section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Calculate final readiness score">
    Cassidy aggregates the section scores into an overall readiness score, giving the team a clear signal on whether the response is ready to submit or needs more work.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deliver results to proposal team">
    The scorecard and recommendations are sent to the team via email or Slack, so reviewers can quickly address gaps and improve the response before the deadline.
  </Step>
</Steps>
