Citation-first|Reviewable|Human-in-the-loop
Built for small-business contractors, capture leads, and proposal consultants pursuing federal work
Use it when the deadline is real, the solicitation is long, and reviewers need a source-linked matrix before drafting starts.
Sample artifact
The first thing buyers should see is the matrix.
A redacted example of the review queue ProposalFirewall builds before your team starts writing.
Where we fit
Focused on the RFP shred, not generic proposal theater.
The market is crowded with response libraries, capture platforms, and AI writing tools. ProposalFirewall is intentionally narrower: get the solicitation into a source-linked review workflow fast.
Buyer fit
Built around the people who own the deadline.
Each workflow points back to a proposal decision: review, assign, verify, export, or escalate.
Solo capture lead
Analyze one active RFP without waiting on enterprise implementation or a proposal consultant.
Proposal manager
Turn Sections L and M into a review queue, assign attention, and export the matrix for writers.
BD director
Use SAM context, amendment changes, briefing, and risk labels to decide what deserves pursuit time.
Secure capture team
Keep AI work reviewable with source citations, access controls, audit logs, and enterprise review paths.
From RFP package to review-ready matrix in four steps
Upload
Drop your solicitation PDF or ZIP. We handle UCF and non-UCF formats, amendments, and multi-document packages.
Extract & Verify
AI extracts candidate requirements from Sections L and M. Trust Gate runs a second-pass check against the source text.
Export & Track
Download your citation-backed compliance matrix to Excel. Assign sections, track status, and share with your team.
Score & Improve
Check your Proposal Health Score in real-time. Address flagged risks, draft responses with your Proposal Library, and export a structured proposal shell.
Built for proposal teams
Every feature is designed to reduce manual triage while keeping your team in control of final compliance decisions.
AI Extraction
Surfaces requirements, deliverables, and format constraints from Sections L and M. Handles UCF and non-UCF solicitations with format-aware prompts.
Trust Gate
Checks extracted items against source text. Low-confidence or weakly supported items are flagged for reviewer judgment with citation history intact.
Compliance Checker
Paste a draft response and get per-requirement review prompts, likely gaps, and specific fix suggestions before final compliance review.
L → M Crosswalk
AI maps Section L instructions to Section M evaluation factors. Export the crosswalk to Word for your proposal outline.
Document Q&A
RAG-powered chat over the full solicitation. Ask about page limits, deliverables, and amendments; answers include retrieved source citations.
Amendment Diffs
Upload new versions and compare side-by-side. AI summarizes changes per version pair with severity levels.
Proposal Health Score
Live 0–100 review-readiness score. It improves as your team reviews requirements, fills the matrix, and addresses flagged gaps.
Executive Briefing
As soon as extraction completes, AI generates a structured briefing: what they want, key risks, and recommended focus areas — in plain English.
Risk Scoring
Risk labels help reviewers prioritize critical, high, standard, and low items, so page-limit traps and format requirements get attention early.
Trust & accountability
Requirements stay tied to source citations. Review decisions stay visible. AI output remains inspectable.
Citation-first
Extracted requirements link back to source pages and sections so reviewers can verify before relying on them.
Review evidence
Activity logs capture extraction, review, and approval events so teams can show how AI-assisted outputs were checked.
Human-in-the-loop
Trust Gate flags uncertain extractions. AI assists, humans decide. No black-box outputs.
Requirements remain tied back to source pages and sections.
Trust Gate runs a secondary validation pass. If an extracted item appears unsupported or paraphrased too heavily, it is flagged for review before your team relies on it.

Why ProposalFirewall
Review-first workflow
What the product is built to catch
“Page limits, submission instructions, and evaluation factors become visible in one review queue instead of being scattered across a 200-page PDF.”
“Every AI-extracted item is tied back to the source text, so reviewers can verify the citation before it becomes part of the proposal plan.”
“Amendments, risk labels, executive briefing, and exports keep capture and proposal leads working from the same source of truth.”
