RED TEAM REVIEW
Your compliance team makes sure the proposal is allowed to win. We make sure it actually can.A focused, outside read of your RFP response before it goes out — testing win themes, competitive positioning, and the executive narrative the way evaluators actually will. Not compliance. Not formatting. The sales case.Built for enterprise technology proposals — ERP, CRM, AI, Data, EAM, APM, and similar platform implementations: software selection, net-new builds, upgrades, and related projects.
The GapYou already have a review. It isn't looking for this.Shipley-style color team reviews — Pink, Red, Gold — catch compliance gaps and missing requirements. They were never built to judge whether the proposal would actually beat the two other bidders in the room. That's a different read, done by someone else, days before submission.
Compliance Review — every requirement addressed and traceable
Formatting, page limits, and instructions followed
Technical and pricing accuracy checked
Nothing missing from the RFP checklist
Red Team Review — win themes tested against real differentiators
Positioning checked against likely competitors
Executive summary read the way evaluators read it
Every claimed advantage checked for proof, not adjectives
ScopeNarrow on purpose.This isn't a full proposal audit. It's one thing, done well, that fits inside the week before your deadline — and hands off cleanly to your compliance or production team for everything else.
In scope — win theme audit
Competitive positioning
Executive summary & cover letter
Discriminator strength & proof points
Narrative structure and persuasiveness
Evaluator's-eye scorecard
Out of scope — compliance matrix / requirements traceability
Formatting, layout, and desktop publishing (DTP)
Technical or solution accuracy
Proposal writing from scratch, or ghostwriting the full response
ProcessFive steps, built to fit before your deadline.
Send the draft — Email it directly, upload it through a private link we send you, or share a Drive, SharePoint, or Dropbox folder.
Scope confirmed — Within a few hours: a fixed price and delivery date, based on length and your deadline. No hourly clock.
The review — Read once for structure and theme, then again line by line for the commercial case.
Delivery — A redlined draft, a scorecard, and (Standard tier and up) a debrief call before you finalize.
Confidential, always — Every engagement runs under a standing mutual NDA and access-controlled file sharing.

Why meI've spent years on both sides of the table — writing proposals under deadline pressure and sitting on evaluation panels scoring them. I know what makes an evaluator's eyes glaze over, and what makes them sit up.
Enterprise technology, specifically — ERP, CRM, EAM, APM, AI, Data, and similar platform implementations: software selection, net-new builds, upgrades, and related projects.
A real person, not AI — every review is read and written by me, not run through a tool.
Demos, orals, sales, and delivery — not just proposal writing. I've done all four, and I know how each one shapes what evaluators actually respond to.
