By handLength reads as effort

A fluent forty-page response feels more thorough than a specific twelve-page one, and nobody has time to prove otherwise.

With the agentEvidence reads as evidence

Specific, checkable claims separated from text that restates the requirement without answering it.

How it works

Separates verifiable, specific claims from fluent padding, and flags text that restates a requirement without answering it.

AI-written bids are longer and better-sounding. Length is no longer a proxy for effort, and evaluators need help seeing that.

01

It reads a claim at a time

The response is broken into claims rather than pages, because a page can hold one claim or none.

02

It asks what would check each one

A claim is specific if something in the submission would let an evaluator verify it: a name, a number, a contract, a date.

03

It flags text that only restates

Language that repeats the requirement back without answering it is marked, because it reads as a response and is not one.

04

Evaluators still score it

It describes what kind of claim each passage is. What that is worth against your criteria is the evaluator\x{2019}s judgment.

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.

Substance Check

It is long but thin in two sections. The staffing section names fourteen people and attaches CVs, which is checkable. The quality section is four pages that restate the requirement without describing a method.

What it will not do

Descriptive only. It classifies claims as specific, unsupported or restatement, and shows the passage behind each. What that is worth is for evaluators to decide.
