By handA week of reading

Four bids at 180 pages each, read end to end by whoever is free, with the matrix rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet.

With the agentAn afternoon

Every requirement mapped to the page that answers it, so your evaluators start from the evidence instead of hunting for it.

How it works

Reads every submitted bid and builds a requirement-by-requirement traceability matrix: where each requirement is addressed, and where it is not.

The single biggest workload item in an evaluation. Four bids at 180 pages each is a week of reading. This makes it an afternoon.

01

It reads the solicitation first

Every requirement, submittal and instruction in your own document becomes a row. Nothing is inferred from a template or another agency.

02

Then it reads every response

All of it, including the appendices nobody gets to. Each requirement is matched to the passage that addresses it, with the page recorded.

03

It builds the traceability matrix

A requirement-by-requirement grid across all bidders: addressed, partly addressed, or absent, with a citation behind every cell.

04

It marks the gaps, and stops

Where a bid never answers a requirement, the cell is flagged for a person to look at. It does not score, rank or recommend anyone.

Ask it anything

Every answer quotes its page.

Answers come only from the documents on the run, and each one carries the citation you would have gone looking for.

Response Analyst

Three of the four. Ridgeline answers it on page 42 with a staffed dispatch line; Carter commits to 24 hours but only during business days; Alder never addresses it. Meridian addresses it on page 17.

What it will not do

The matrix is a reading aid, not a determination. Every cell links to the passage it came from so an evaluator can confirm it in seconds, and the evaluation record shows the person who made each call.
