Managed Proposal Team

The human-led Managed Proposal Team provides additional execution capacity for proposal work. Customers assign work and receive finished artifacts, not AI tools to deploy or administer.

Work you can request

Solicitation assessment and compliance matrices
Response planning, outlines, and supporting research
Drafting and revision of response sections
Review coordination and agreed submission artifacts

Your SMEs provide strategy, source facts, direction, and approval of consequential commitments. A THINK Strategist assigns and reviews the work. Requests can be made by meeting, email, or Customer Portal. Customers receive notifications when work is ready for review, revisions, or approval, with delivery through agreed systems.

See Managed Capture Team for upstream pursuit work.
