I.Who this is for.
3 items- Bid managers running 4–15 RFPs per month
- Solo founders who respond to occasional tenders
- Sales engineers tasked with proposal QA
II.What it covers.
4 items- 10 universal items every RFP requires
- 7 commercial-specific items (MSA, SLAs, liability)
- 5 federal-light items (FAR, SAM.gov, Section 508)
- 5 EU public-sector items (GDPR, ESPD, language)
III.What it prevents.
