Capabilities — system overview

Every unfair advantage
a capture lead needs.

Sixteen purpose-built modules, organized around the four phases of federal business development. Use them standalone, or stitched together as a single operating picture.

01

Forecast — see it coming.

Blend the President's Budget, DoD PPBE exhibits, appropriations committee markups, and agency procurement forecasts into a unified pipeline. Every dollar tagged, every program traced, every recompete clocked.

Budget — to — award lineage

Trace a FY27 line item from the Pentagon's PB submission, through mark-up, to the contract vehicle it will land on. No more guessing which opportunity funds which requirement.

Capture — shape the field.

Proposal Intel runs a Shipley-native capture workflow — Gate 0 through Bid / No-Bid — backed by real customer intel and teaming maps. Your plan stays live, not locked in a binder.

04 · Gate process

Live capture plan

Activities, artifacts, and intel tied to each gate review. Review-ready summaries generated on demand — no scramble the night before.

Compare — the honest read.

Four platforms own the conversation in federal BD tooling. Here's where Proposal Intel fits, where we don't, and which buyer each serves best — based on the live vs-pages we publish.

01 · vs Deltek GovWin IQ

Built for primes. We're built for everyone else.

GovWin is the 800-pound gorilla at $20K–$30K+/year — designed for large primes with dedicated BD teams. It's exceptional at market intelligence. It wasn't built for the 87% of federal contractors who don't have a capture manager, a proposal writer, or a growth-stage tool budget.

02 · vs CLEATUS

They're broad. We master federal.

CLEATUS covers 40,000+ sources across federal, state, local, and education at ~$150/mo. Broad coverage is useful — until you realize federal contracts require a different kind of intelligence than a city RFP. We go deep on one thing so depth-hungry federal teams get real capture signal, not noise.

03 · vs Unanet GrowthStudio

That's an ERP. This is your BD team.

Unanet is a 4,200-customer ERP with a BD module bolted on — financials, projects, DCAA, timekeeping, and GrowthStudio for capture. If you already need the ERP, it's a rational add. If you just want to win more federal contracts, you shouldn't buy a 12-month ERP rollout to get there.
