Analysis

This screen is the strategic brief on the RFP, prepared as soon as Clarido has finished reading your documents. It says what the client actually wants, what will weigh most in their choice, where the traps are, and what the RFP leaves unsaid.

What you see

At the top, The essentials states in one sentence what will decide this mandate, followed by up to three factors. When that ranking comes from Clarido's reading rather than a published grid, the card is marked Inferred.

Below it, four sections read straight through, always open. Key facts gathers what the RFP states. Client concerns puts their worries in their own voice, with the signals that support each one. Pitfalls and signals names what bids usually trip on. To clarify lists the ambiguities to resolve before submitting. A section with nothing in it doesn't appear at all: what stays on screen has passed Clarido's sorting, so nothing is folded away.

Inside Client concerns, each small chip is clickable and opens Source context on the right, showing the quoted passage among its neighbours, with Open full document to go further. Amber dashed chips come from your own internal notes, the plain ones from the RFP.

The limits of my reading closes the screen with what the RFP stays silent about, and therefore what Clarido cannot assert. This block disappears when the RFP is fully specified.

What you can do

Read the brief top to bottom; it is all open already. Click the source chips to check any statement against the original document.

In To clarify, Mark clarified opens an optional field for what you found out, then Clarify closes the question. The clarified-question counter gives you back what you noted, and Reopen brings a question back when the answer no longer holds.

If the brief hasn't been produced yet, Generate brief starts it. When a document or your library changes, a banner offers Update everything, which refreshes the analysis and the screens that depend on it.

What Clarido keeps

The brief is stored with the proposal and feeds the screens that follow. Your clarified questions and the answers you note stay with it, so the team can see what has already been settled and what is still open.

Next step

Move on to Positioning, which sets these expectations against what your library holds.
