Proposal Department & Capture System Build-Out (90-Day Program)
Build a repeatable system.
We design and implement a fully structured proposal and capture system within a defined 90-day program. This includes governance frameworks, standardized templates, compliance-aligned documentation structures, content libraries, tracking systems, and end-to-end workflows supporting both capture and proposal execution. We also establish review and validation processes, including structured redlining and approval flows, to ensure consistent quality and compliance. In parallel, we work with internal teams to ensure adoption through training and operational alignment. The result is a scalable, repeatable system that improves efficiency, consistency, and contract execution outcomes.
Overview
The Proposal System Build-Out is our flagship engagement. We architect and implement the full operating system your team needs to consistently produce competitive, compliant proposals at scale — without depending on individual heroics or last-minute scrambles.
What's Included
1. Pipeline & Capture System
- Bid pipeline tracker with go/no-go criteria
- Capture review templates and gate reviews
- Stakeholder alignment workflows
- Risk matrix and competitive analysis frameworks
2. Document Architecture
- Master template library (proposal, capability statements, white papers, case studies)
- Style guide and voice/tone documentation
- Section-by-section content blocks for reuse
3. Content Library
- Past performance entries, version-tagged and searchable
- Capability briefs by service line
- Bios, qualifications, certifications, and boilerplate
- Case studies organized by sector and outcome type
4. Governance & Workflow
- Review cadence (Pink/Red/Gold) with assigned roles
- Compliance matrix templates
- Approval and sign-off workflows
- Knowledge management and version control
5. Hand-off & Training
- Live training sessions for capture, BD, and proposal staff
- Maintenance documentation
- First live cycle support
Engagement Length
Typical full build runs 8–12 weeks. We deliver in five phases:
- Audit (Wk 1–2) — Pipeline review and structural gap report
- Design (Wk 3–4) — System framework and governance map
- Build (Wk 5–8) — Templates and content library populated
- Hand-off (Wk 9–10) — Team training and first-cycle support
- Review (Wk 11–12) — Performance metrics and iteration plan
Outcome
A complete operating system your team owns and runs without us. Most clients see materially shorter proposal cycles, higher submission quality, and lower dependency on individual contributors within the first quarter post-handoff.
