Step 1 of 7

Admissibility — can you bid at all?

Across 80 pages, a public RFP buries its knock-out conditions. Miss a single one, and your proposal is rejected at the desk before anyone reads it. Clarido reads the whole document and brings back every gate with its exact citation. You confirm one by one; nothing is decided for you.

Every condition carries its verbatim citation. One click opens the passage in the source document; nothing is invented.
Three families of conditions: what the firm must hold, what it must attach, and what binds only if you win.
Never a verdict on your behalf. Every line waits for your “Got it”, and a missing gate is added in one click.
Step 2 of 7

Analysis — what the evaluator is really looking for

Behind the clauses of an RFP hides the real question: what will win this response. Clarido reads the whole document and distills it into one clear brief. The essence of the mandate, key facts, client concerns, traps. You start writing already knowing where the bid will be decided.

The brief separates what informs from what threatens: key facts, client concerns, traps and signals, points to clarify.
Every finding carries its RFP reference. One click opens the exact passage.
The reading is already done; the decision never is. You judge the value, Clarido prepares the ground.
Step 3 of 7

Positioning — your proof against the expectations

Clarido crosses every expectation in the RFP with your past engagements. Some come back covered, with the references that prove it. The others stay open, and that is said just as clearly.

A covered expectation lists the engagements that prove it, delivered value attached.
An expectation without proof is flagged as such. Clarido even suggests what to drop in to cover it.
You see the bid as it is, and you choose what to put forward.
Step 4 of 7

Decision — go, and how

Before you invest weeks of production, set the RFP beside your comparable engagements and your won-lost history. You decide with the facts in view, never on a hunch.

Comparable engagements from your library come out with their amounts and their real outcome: delivered, in progress, lost.
The offer to produce is screened piece by piece. Whatever is missing is named, line by line.
The decision stays yours. Clarido prepares the dossier and never rules on your behalf.
Step 5 of 7 · The plan

The plan — who writes what, and what each section stands on

Before the first sentence, Clarido lays out the bid's plan: the sections this RFP expects, already ordered the way the offer will read. Each row names who writes it and what it stands on, from the analysis brief to a specific engagement pulled from the library. Whatever the RFP demands and the plan doesn't carry yet stays on screen, clause quoted. When the plan suits you, Clarido writes from it.

The table of contents comes out of the RFP: every required section is there, counted, in the order the offer will read.
Who writes, what it stands on: the analysis brief, the firm profile, a named engagement from the library. Nothing anonymous.
What the RFP demands and the plan doesn't carry is listed apart, clause quoted alongside. The gap becomes an action: attach the piece to the plan.
Step 6 of 7 · Writing

Writing — the first draft starts from your proof

Clarido writes each section from the agreed plan: the cover letter, the mandate understanding and the added value come out in the firm's voice, built from the dossier's facts. Arguments rest on named people and documented engagements from your library. Whatever is missing is said in the text, plainly; nothing is invented.

The first draft follows the plan: same order, same sections, your standing instructions applied across the offer.
The proof comes up on its own: a named person, an analogous engagement, the figure that backs it.
A missing piece of proof? The draft says so in the text instead of inventing it. You see the gap before the evaluator does.
Step 6 of 7 · Methodology

Build Your Methodology

The mandate's methodology starts from your proven approaches. You adapt it to the RFP, then approve it section by section.

Past approaches give you the skeleton, adapted to the RFP
The plan and the tone follow the firm's rules, banned terms excluded
Every section is approved before it enters the submission
Step 7 of 7

Review — the final pass

Before submission, the proposal is read back against the RFP, requirement by requirement: every section finds its proof, every gap is still flagged as a gap. You submit knowing exactly where you stand.

Clarido plays the committee: what they will notice, what they won't find, the question they will ask.
The evaluator's read prices each gap in points, before it costs you the contract.
When a piece of proof is missing, the review points where to find it: a person, an engagement, already in your library.

Your next RFP won't start from zero.

Your engagements, your CVs and your methodologies are already in the firm's memory, ready to serve again.
