Proposals

Write it with any AI. Check it with WARNO.

AI can draft a proposal in minutes. It can't tell you what the evaluators will count, which clauses bind you, or who holds the work now. Proposal Studio does that part, using AI, from the solicitation's own documents.

1. Shred

Every instruction, evaluation factor and "shall", with document and page.

2. Check the clauses

What each FAR and DFARS clause commits you to.

3. Build the win strategy

Incumbent, competitors, price range, win themes.

4. Review like the government

Pink, red and gold reviews on any draft.

What you ask AI

Ask	What WARNO returns
"Shred W912PM-26-R-0042 and build the compliance matrix."	Instructions, evaluation factors, requirements, key personnel and deliverables, each with document and page. A compliance matrix mapped to proposal sections, and an outline in the order the evaluators score.
"Which clauses in this RFP should worry me?"	Every FAR and DFARS clause found, ranked, in plain English: limitations on subcontracting, wage determinations, cyber and CMMC, telecom bans, facility clearances, option pricing. Plus flags for DD 254s, bonds, OCI and Section 508.
"Give me the capture brief for this solicitation."	The incumbent and their contract value, what this office buys and from whom, a price range from comparable awards, recent GAO protests at the agency, and a win-strategy worksheet.
"Give me the template for the SCA price build-up."	16 section templates built from real federal proposals modeled on winning bids, with every name and number removed: cover letter, CLIN summary, OCI statement, technical approach by PWS task, staffing, key personnel, quality control, transition, SCA and non-SCA pricing, past performance, responsibility and financial capability.
"Red-team this draft." (paste it, from any tool)	Each requirement marked addressed, partly addressed or missing, filler words flagged, and a scoring pass that lists strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies the way the evaluation panel will.

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

It has the agency's dataWho holds the work, what it cost, the prior versions of the solicitation, and the attachments themselves. A blank chat has none of it.

It checks, not just writesLine-by-line compliance against the instructions and evaluation criteria catches the misses that get proposals thrown out.

It follows the FARClause obligations and evaluation terms come from the regulation and from GAO protest decisions. Section templates come from real proposals modeled on winning bids, not from guesswork.

The clauses that trip up small firms

Clause	What it means for you
52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting	On a services set-aside, no more than 50% of the amount paid can go to firms that aren't similarly situated. Your teaming split has to fit.
52.222-41 Service Contract Labor Standards	Every service labor category must be paid at least the wage determination rate plus fringe. Price against it.
252.204-7019 / -7021 / -7025	DoD cyber: a NIST SP 800-171 score in SPRS, and the CMMC level stated in the solicitation, before award.
52.204-24 / -25	Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Dahua and Hytera: a representation with your offer and a ban on using their gear.
52.204-2 and a DD Form 254	Classified work. You need a facility clearance at the right level.
52.217-8 / -9	Option years and a possible six-month extension. Price all of it.
