Deal & contract office · Module 4 of 7
An RFP takes 33 hours. Hand it over instead.
Drop in the RFP. Get back a response mapped point-by-point to their requirement list, written in your field's actual language, reusing the answers you have already approved. The average response takes about 33 hours of someone's week and roughly 39% of them win. Those two numbers are why a proposal manager is a $108,231-a-year job with thousands of open postings.
What this module does
Four capabilities that show up in week one.
01
Requirement-mapped, not templated
The RFP is parsed into its real requirement list — every shall, every must, every evaluation criterion — and the response is composed against that list, point by point. Evaluators score against a matrix. A response that does not map to the matrix loses on points before anyone reads a word of the prose.
02
Speaks your field
Backed by researched domain expertise across telecom, MSP and IT services, data centre, construction, industrial, logistics, energy, government contracting, software and professional services. It writes about diverse fibre routes, PUE, retainage, lien waivers and CMMC in the register a buyer in that field actually uses — not in generic sales English with your logo on top.
03
Reuses your approved answers
Your past wins, capability statements, standard terms, resumes and certifications become an approved answer library. Answers get composed from it per question rather than pasted, so the same underlying fact reads correctly in two RFPs that asked for it differently.
04
The compliance matrix and the boring parts
Cross-reference matrix, pricing schedule format, page limits, font rules, the exact form order the buyer demanded. Responses get thrown out on formatting non-compliance before the content is ever read. That is the cheapest loss available in this category, and it happens constantly.
How it works
Forward the RFP or drop the file in. Morthn parses it into a requirement matrix, checks it against your approved answer library, and drafts the full response mapped to every requirement, in the technical register of your field. What it cannot answer from your real facts comes back as a short list of questions for you — not as filler that reads confident and says nothing. You review, edit and sign. The expertise layer underneath is researched, sourced domain knowledge per vertical, which is the difference between a proposal an evaluator scores and a proposal an evaluator recognises as generic. A real person on our side owns the submission and its deadline.
Integrates with
Compliance + guardrails
Never fabricates a credential, a reference, a certification, a headcount, a past-performance claim or a compliance status. Anything not backed by a fact you supplied comes back as an open question, visibly flagged in the draft. Winning a bid on a claim you cannot support is worse than losing it — it is a contract you can be removed from, and in government contracting it is a legal exposure. Page limits, format rules and submission deadlines are enforced as hard constraints, not suggestions.

FAQ
Common questions about Proposals & RFPs.
How fast does a response come back?
A first draft on a standard commercial RFP is typically inside 24–48 hours of intake, against an industry average of roughly 33 hours of human work spread across a week or more. Large public solicitations with multiple volumes take longer and get scoped individually.
What if the RFP asks for something we genuinely cannot do?
It comes back flagged, not answered. That is the feature. If a mandatory requirement is one you cannot meet, the honest move is a no-bid — the Bid Triage module exists for exactly that call, and it saves you the 33 hours.
Do we still need a proposal manager?
That is the question the pricing is built around. The role averages $108,231 a year in the US and there are thousands of open postings for it, which tells you what this work costs when a person does it. Morthn does the drafting, the requirement mapping and the compliance matrix. You keep the strategy and the signature.
