How it works

Six stages. From dropped PDF to shipped bid.

Drop.

Page-1 facts in under a minute. No 140-page tax.

Stage 1 · Request

Drop the PDF. Skip the first hour.

Upload the PDF — qlows parses every page including footnotes, evaluation tables, and clause references. Or paste in the bare details if the request came by email. Either way, you skip the “what's even in here” tax.

Outcome

In under a minute you have: deadline, contract value, submission channel, page inventory. The bid clock starts when you decide it does — not when you've finished reading 140 pages.

Read.

Every claim sourced to its page. Senior-bid-manager triage in 5 minutes.

Stage 2 · Intelligence

What the RFP actually says — without re-reading it.

qlows reads the request the way a senior bid manager would. The submission deadline that isn't on the cover page. The eligibility gates that disqualify you before you start. The tailored language that signals the incumbent is wired in. Every claim sourced to the page it came from.

Outcome

One screen answers the three questions you ask yourself anyway: do I have time, am I eligible, should I bid at all. No becomes no in 5 minutes, not 5 days. Yes becomes “yes, and here's where to focus” before anyone writes a word. Wired against the incumbent? You see it before you commit 40 hours.

Map.

Every must, shall, and will provide — categorized, page-linked, ownable.

Stage 3 · Compliance

Every requirement, mapped. Nothing missed.

qlows pulls every must, shall, and will provide into a single compliance matrix — categorized, source-page-linked, owner-assignable. Page limits, format rules, mandatory certifications — surfaced before the first sentence is drafted.

Outcome

The first thing the evaluator checks is the compliance matrix. Yours is done before the proposal is. No discovering a missed clause at 11pm the night before submission.

Position.

Customer priorities, competitor map, your differentiators — one workspace.

Stage 4 · Playing Field

Know the table before you sit down.

qlows pulls the customer's actual priorities (from their prior procurements), who else is likely bidding, and where your story differentiates. The customer profile, the competitor map, your positioning — all in one workspace your whole team works from.

Outcome

Every answer in Stage 5 gets written for this customer against these competitors with your proof points. Not generic copy lifted from last quarter's bid.

Route.

Drafted from the library. Routed by magic link. SMEs answer in 20 minutes.

Stage 5 · Q-Routing

Stop chasing. Route instead.

Instead of pinging your team on Slack, qlows splits the response into discrete questions, drafts the ones it can answer from your library, and routes the rest by magic link — your security architect, your finance lead, your delivery owner. They answer in their browser. Answers land back in the bid.

Outcome

Your CEO gets pinged for 4 strategic answers, not 47. Your SMEs spend 20 minutes each, not a weekend. The bid hits review with a complete first draft — days earlier than usual.

Ship.

MCP-grounded for your AI. Tier-1 polish for the evaluator.

Stage 6 · Hand-off

Ship to your AI. Or ship to the evaluator.

qlows preps — it doesn't write your proposal. Your senior writer or your AI of choice does. Stage 6 outputs in two shapes: a context-pack your AI reads via MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT — drop in once, every query is bid-aware), and a clean Word/PDF/JSON package for the formal submission.

Outcome

Your writer (human or AI) starts with a brief, not the original PDF. The evaluator opens a package that reads like your most experienced bid lead wrote it. If they question an answer, every claim links back to the source page in the original request — automatically.

Drop.

Page-1 facts in under a minute. No 140-page tax.

The ecosystem

Works with the AI your team already uses.

Your AI writes the bid. qlows just makes sure it has the right brief. Native plug-in for Claude and the rest of the dev-tool stack — your AI sees the bid as you work, no copy-paste. For ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and anything else, a one-click brief you paste into any session.
