Stop bidding on RFPs you can’t win.
A single response costs about 33 hours. Roughly six in ten lose. The expensive mistake was never writing proposals slowly — it’s spending three weeks on one that was written around the incumbent.

You’ll get an honest verdict — including “don’t bid”.
A tool that says “bid!” on everything is worse than useless. A false “bid” burns the exact expert-days you were trying to save.
Everyone else sells “respond to more RFPs, faster.”
That’s the wrong problem. Speed doesn’t help you win a bid that was never winnable — it just gets you to the loss sooner, having spent the same 33 hours.
The hours you save by walking away from a wired deal are the hours you spend on the one you can actually take. That’s why the first thing this does is try to talk you out of it.

Questions
How long does it take to respond to an RFP?
About 33 hours on average for a single response — 27 hours at a small company, 39 at an enterprise. A team responding to 80 RFPs a year is spending roughly a full working month of expert time on proposals.
What percentage of RFP responses actually win?
Average win rates sit around 39% (roughly 37% in North America). That means about six in ten responses lose — so the majority of the hours poured into proposals produce nothing. Deciding what NOT to bid on is therefore the cheapest win available.
How do you know if an RFP is wired for the incumbent?
There are consistent tells: requirements written around one vendor's exact feature set or certifications, an unrealistically short response window, mandatory qualifications only the current supplier could hold, references to the existing environment that only the incumbent knows, and scoring weighted to prior experience with the buyer. The check looks for these and names them.
Should you bid on every RFP you receive?
No. Bidding on everything is the most common and most expensive mistake. Each response costs real expert-days, and a false "bid" burns exactly the capacity you needed for the deals you could actually win. Disciplined teams qualify out early and put their hours where the odds are.
Is the bid/no-bid check free?
Yes — three checks a day, no signup, and nothing is stored. It gives you the honest verdict including "do not bid". If it says the deal is worth chasing, the same engine can draft the response.
