Frequently Asked Questions

What is Proposal Intel?

Proposal Intel is a cloud-based GovCon capture management platform that helps small businesses find federal contracting opportunities on SAM.gov, score their probability of winning (PWin), generate AI-powered proposal drafts, analyze competitors, and track wins and losses — all in one tool.

How does the 30-day free trial work?

You get full access to the platform for 30 days. No credit card is required to start. At the end of the trial, you can subscribe to continue or cancel with no charge.

What is a PWin score?

PWin (Probability of Win) is a 0–100% score that estimates your likelihood of winning a specific government contract opportunity. It considers factors like past performance alignment, incumbent presence, evaluation criteria match, and your technical fit.

Can Proposal Intel write my proposal for me?

Yes. The AI Proposal Generator drafts Technical Volumes, Management Approaches, and Past Performance narratives from your solicitation text. You review and edit — the AI accelerates the first draft significantly.

Does Proposal Intel support grant writing?

Yes. The platform includes dedicated grant writing tools for SBIR/STTR, NIH, NSF, and DOE grants — covering Specific Aims, Research Strategy, Broader Impact, and budget narratives.

What is capture management?

Capture management is the process of identifying, qualifying, and pursuing a government contract opportunity before the solicitation is released. It includes competitive analysis, teaming, win theme development, and bid/no-bid decisions.

Is Proposal Intel only for small businesses?

Proposal Intel is designed primarily for small and mid-size businesses, 8(a) firms, SDVOSBs, and HUBZone companies — but any federal contractor can use it.

How do I find my NAICS codes?

The NAICS Expansion Tool in Proposal Intel suggests related NAICS codes based on your services and past contracts, helping you qualify for more opportunities and expand your SAM.gov profile.

What is the difference between Starter, Pro, and Team plans?

Starter ($149/mo) includes competitive intelligence and opportunity search. Pro ($399/mo) adds the full proposal generator, capture hub, grant writing, and all advanced tools. Team ($799/mo) adds 5 user seats and a shared pipeline view.

How does FPDS winner intelligence work?

Enter an agency and NAICS code and Proposal Intel retrieves past contract award data from FPDS — showing who won, at what price, and for how long. Use it to size your bid, identify the incumbent, and understand the competitive landscape.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. You retain access until the end of the current billing period with no partial refunds.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Proposal Intel encrypts all data at rest and in transit. We do not sell or share your data with third parties. Your proposals and opportunity data are private to your account.
