PROPOSAL SUPPORT · PILOT

Proposal overflow support for small technology contractors

One technical or management section. Up to ten pages. $2,000 fixed-price pilot.

Have a live bid and limited writing capacity? Brevidy prepares an editable section from your approved materials, with a checklist showing where solicitation requirements are addressed, references supporting factual company claims, and a separate list of missing information and commitments requiring your approval.

Includes independent proposal-specialist review and one consolidated revision. Scope, reviewer, data handling and delivery schedule are agreed before payment.

Pilot status

This is a new Brevidy service, with no completed paid proposal-support engagements yet. The sample below uses fictional materials and has not been independently reviewed by a proposal specialist. Each paid engagement requires an agreed scope, confirmed reviewer, approved data handling and delivery schedule before payment.

See the proposed deliverable

Review a three-page example showing how solicitation requirements and company source materials become an annotated proposal draft, with supporting references, a requirements checklist and unresolved gaps clearly identified.

Page 1 · The inputs

Four requirements and a small set of source records, each line labelled so any statement in the draft can be traced to an exact passage. What is missing is listed too.

Page 2 · The draft

A technical approach covering phases, responsibilities, deliverables, coverage and acceptance, annotated so a reviewer can see which sentences rest on evidence and which propose a method.

Page 3 · The review record

Requirement coverage, a claim-to-source map with the boundary of each piece of evidence, and the open issues that a customer must decide rather than a writer invent.

A claim we did not make

The fictional record reports zero transition-attributed critical incidents on one past project. The draft preserves exactly that. It does not become "we guarantee zero downtime."

Illustrative sample only. All solicitation and contractor information is fictional; this is not client work.

A draft your team can inspect, not just read

You receive an editable proposal section together with a requirements checklist, references supporting factual company claims, and an explicit list of unresolved questions.

Past-performance statements are distinguished from proposed approaches and future commitments. Missing information is flagged for your decision rather than filled in with plausible wording.

The aim is to give your team additional writing capacity while making the resulting draft easier to review and finish.

What a source reference establishes, and what it does not: it shows which of your records a statement came from, so anyone reviewing the draft can check it against that passage. It does not verify that the record itself is accurate. We provide traceability and review. We do not audit your resumes, project results or capability statements.

What you receive

  • An editable draft of one technical or management section
  • A checklist mapping the section to the solicitation's requirements
  • A source reference for every factual claim about your company
  • An explicit list of what the supplied material does not establish
  • Independent human review before delivery
  • One consolidated revision

What it is not

  • Not a whole multi-volume proposal
  • Not solution architecture, pricing or bid strategy
  • Not oral presentations or technical challenges
  • Not submission on your behalf
  • Not unlimited revisions
  • Not a prediction or guarantee of a win

What "ten pages" and "one revision" mean

The ten-page limit applies to the proposal narrative in the agreed format. The requirements checklist, source references and gap list are supporting review materials and do not count against it.

One consolidated round of client-requested revisions within the agreed scope is included. New sections, materially changed approaches, or solicitation amendments that alter the scope require a separate agreement. Correcting our own failure to meet the agreed deliverable is not a revision and does not use that allowance.

How the annotated draft becomes usable text

The proposal narrative is editable, with supporting references and review questions kept distinguishable from submission text. Your team approves factual statements and commitments before incorporating the section into its proposal.

What you supply, and how it runs

The distinction that keeps this a fixed-price service: we write an approach you have already decided on. We do not invent the approach.

You provide

We review those inputs before agreeing that the section fits the fixed-price pilot.

Delivery timing
We agree a schedule after reviewing the section, available source material, your deadline and reviewer availability. The schedule depends on receiving the agreed inputs and timely answers to identified questions.
Independent review
The reviewer checks the agreed section for requirement coverage, support for factual claims, internal consistency and unresolved commitments. The reviewer is not the person who prepared the draft. You retain responsibility for your solution, factual records, approvals and submission.
Data handling
AI use and document handling are agreed with you before any material changes hands. This initial pilot excludes classified, controlled unclassified and export-restricted material.
Payment
No deposit is accepted until the scope, qualified independent reviewer, data-handling arrangements and delivery schedule are agreed in writing. The deposit is $1,000. The remaining $1,000 falls due on final delivery, which means after the included revision where you request one inside the agreed feedback window.

The full commercial scope, including delivery milestones, feedback and corrections, confidentiality and approved AI use, cancellation and rights in the deliverable, is set out in Pilot scope and working terms (PDF, 3 pages). Each engagement also requires a separate written scope agreed by both parties before any payment.

Your point of contact

Tony Materna, President and CEO of Brevidy, manages pilot scoping and customer coordination directly. An experienced proposal specialist is confirmed for the independent review before an engagement is accepted.

Brevidy's documentation work emphasizes making factual statements traceable to supporting material. This proposal-support pilot applies that discipline to customer-provided records, while separately identifying proposed methods and commitments requiring your approval. It is a separate workflow from the COBOL Documentation Factory.

The principle carried across: an unsupported statement should not quietly become a proposal commitment.

Have a live section to complete?

Tell us the section type, approximate length and submission deadline. Include a public solicitation link when available.

We will first determine whether the work fits the pilot. Please do not send proposal documents or confidential company material with your initial inquiry.
