FAQ

PursuitWorks frequently asked questions

Direct answers for proposal managers, capture leads, and contracts directors evaluating PursuitWorks for RFP shreds, compliance matrices, past performance, and the 10-stage federal proposal workflow.

What is PursuitWorks?

PursuitWorks is a 10-stage federal proposal workflow built by former contracting officers and contracts directors. It runs RFP shreds, compliance matrices, Red Team review, readiness reporting, team assignments, and working-draft exports inside one workspace.

Who is PursuitWorks for?

PursuitWorks is built for proposal managers, capture leads, contracts directors, proposal consultants, and federal contractors responding to RFPs, RFQs, and IDIQ task orders.

What problem does PursuitWorks solve?

Federal pursuits get lost in the handoffs between discovery, capture, compliance, drafting, and submission. PursuitWorks pulls SAM.gov opportunity discovery, solicitation documents, company context, stage outputs, review gates, and assignments into one workspace so proposal teams stop rebuilding the pursuit in scattered folders.

How does PursuitWorks support RFP shreds?

PursuitWorks parses the solicitation package into Section L instructions, Section M evaluation factors, PWS and SOW requirements, deadlines, attachments, and risk flags. The reviewed shred then feeds every later stage so writers and SMEs work from the same source of truth.

How does PursuitWorks help with compliance matrices?

PursuitWorks maps Section L instructions to Section M evaluation criteria, then ties each requirement to PWS and SOW language, an owner, response evidence, and review status. Proposal managers track the matrix end to end without managing it in a side spreadsheet.

How is PursuitWorks different from generic AI writing tools?

PursuitWorks is organized around federal proposal work, not freeform chat. Stages, review gates, owner assignments, citation-level past performance, CUI handling, and working-draft exports replace one-off prompts that produce text no contracts director would sign off on.
