Illustrative. One bid from start to finish, including what it leaves for the next.

Strategy that compounds
with every bid.

Most tools start your next bid from your last one. RealFast starts it from every bid you have written and every score those bids received.

01Compound bid strategy

Strategy built from your bid history

RealFast reads every bid you have written and every score a buyer has given you, with the contracts behind them. Each new bid starts from that history.

02Fact check

Every claim checked before the buyer reads it

RealFast checks each sentence of a draft against your library and your contracts. A sourced claim goes through with the source attached. Where the evidence disagrees, the claim is corrected. Where there is no source, the question goes to the person who can answer it.

03Library

A library that keeps itself current

Every approval and every expert answer updates the entry behind it. RealFast flags a stale answer before it reaches a bid.

What a bid teaches you goes beyond the bid team. RealFast reads each assessment summary (the per-criterion scores and reasons a UK buyer must send every bidder) and sends what it finds to the people who can act on it. A delivery weakness goes to operations and price feedback goes to commercial.

04Learnt from how each buyer scores

What each buyer rewards, applied before you submit

RealFast reads the assessment summaries you hold, the FOI returns it submits for you and the scoring sheets buyers publish, and learns how that authority scores. It shows which bids are worth chasing and lifts the answers most likely to lose points. Each answer carries a predicted score before you submit. When the real scores come back, the model for that buyer updates.
