Bid it, sharpen it, or pass
Know if the number can win before you spend the week on it.
We red-team your bid against the field that actually shows up — bid tabs, board minutes, award history, the last two openings from the shop that keeps beating you — and give you a straight call: bid, sharpen, or pass.
Flat fee. No slice of the award. One contractor per package.
What we do
Bid / no-bid call
Before you price it, we pull the owner's award history, the incumbents' last openings, and the spread you'd need to close. You get a clear call on whether the package is worth your estimator's week.
Red-team the number
You bring the number you want to bid. We walk it against your competitors' recent openings and how this board actually awards — and tell you exactly where it dies, before they do.
The one-pager
After the opening — win or lose — a one-page readout in plain language: who says yes, what the sheet showed, and the one thing we'd change on the next package.
How it works
Send us the IFB. Within 48 hours we tell you whether it's worth the week. If it is, we red-team your number against the field before bid day and put the case on one page your estimator can live with.
Pricing is simple. A few thousand dollars per package, whether you take the work or not. We never take a percentage of the award, and we only work one contractor per package — first in owns the desk for that bid.
Who it's for
Shops that bid a lot of public work — landscape, sitework, utilities, building trades — against the same three names every time, for owners who award on the sheet, not the story. If you've ever lost a bid and never heard why, that's the job we do.
