Four steps, with the real numbers from a solicitation we ran through it. No demo, no sales call.
Start 14-Day Free Trial Try the parser on a sample RFPA city security guard RFP put through the parser produced 191 response obligations from the base document and its attachments. Each one is captured with the section heading it came from, its category, whether it is mandatory, and which evaluation factor it serves.

Most requirements in a solicitation do not need an essay. They need a form, a signature, or an acknowledgement. On that same RFP:
| What it asks of you | Count | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| To write | 64 | Written prose an evaluator will score |
| To attach or sign | 32 | A named form, a signature, a certification |
| To acknowledge | 95 | A clause or condition to accept, or take exception to |
The questionnaire opens on the 64 that need writing, so the first thing you see is the work only you can do. Nothing is removed. The other 127 stay one click away, with a running count, because a missed form is just as disqualifying as a missed narrative.
Where one sentence asks for several things, it is split into separate questions. "Describe your transition approach, provide a 30-day schedule, and identify the transition manager" becomes three, each carrying the same source citation, because an evaluator scores them separately.
You should not have to take the extraction on faith. Each requirement carries the verbatim sentence it was drawn from, the filename, and the page number. One click opens the source document at that page.
Most tools hand you a spreadsheet of your own. The Price Proposal Analyzer fills in theirs.
On a federal armed guard services RFQ, the loaded rate was written into the agency's rate cell, their extended-price formula was left untouched, and the workbook recalculates to the same total the cost buildup reports, to the cent. If the source file cannot be written to, you get a transcription of every priced line keyed to its source sheet and cell instead, rather than an error.
Worth being plain about, because the gap between what proposal software claims and what it delivers is where bids get lost.
No. It produces a first draft grounded in the solicitation and your approved company content, and shows you the source for each requirement. You review, edit and submit. Estimate 70 to 85 percent of the content, and never an unreviewed submission.
Every extracted requirement carries the verbatim text it came from, the file, and the page number. You can open the source document at that exact page and read the original wording.
Yes. You choose federal or non-federal at upload and the questionnaire changes accordingly, so a city RFP is not asked about FAR clauses or Service Contract Act wage determinations. The 191-obligation example on this page is a city security guard RFP.
Yes, in private beta. It reads the agency workbook, matches your line items to its cells, and writes your loaded rates into their file with their formulas intact.
