The monthly rhythm

How a pursuit runs.

Six steps, every month. A credit is only spent at step three.

1

We score opportunities daily

Every opportunity gets a 0 to 100 score.

2

The weekly meeting

It brings up the next response.

3

You and DRAI both say yes

The credits are used then, and not before.

4

We deliver the response

Every volume, with the solution and the price.

5

You return consolidated comments

One consolidated set, from your side.

6

We deliver the revision

You submit.

How credits work

We recommend. You decide whether you bid.

Six credits buy one proposal. One proposal can be traded for three RFI or market research responses.

  • A credit is used only when you and DRAI both say yes to a response.
  • A decline uses no credit.
  • Unused credits carry forward one month.
  • The lower level may go 3 credits negative.

How it is bought

Two levels, one 12-month term.

The term starts at signature. Both levels carry a one-time setup fee.

Before responses start

What we need from you

The term starts at signature. Responses start once your must-have inputs arrive.

  • A signed NDA
  • Contract vehicles and roles
  • Wrap rates and labor rate structure
  • Prior proposal content
  • A named representative and bid decision maker

How we keep it clean

More than one offeror on the same solicitation.

You are told who else asked, before any work begins.

Separate people

A different DRAI team drafts each response.

Separate platform usage

Each company's work runs under its own access.

A unique approach

Each response builds from that company's must-have inputs and proprietary data.

If more than one client asks us to respond to the same solicitation, we tell every client who asked. Together we agree how to proceed.
