    Diagnostic Add-Ons

    Proposal Content Audit

    +$297

    Deep dive into resumes, project sheets, boilerplate, narratives, content gaps, redundancy, and AI readiness.

    AI Assistant Starter Architecture

    +$197

    Get a practical starting design for a private, permission-controlled ProposalOps Assistant tailored to your workflows, content patterns, and team needs. You'll leave with a clear view of what the assistant could help prepare, what information it would require, and where human review must remain in control. This is not a full AI implementation or readiness audit. It is a focused starter architecture based on the workflow examined during your Diagnostic Intensive.

    Diagnostic FAQ

    Who should attend the Diagnostic?
    Proposal Managers, Marketing Directors, BD/Pursuit Leaders, and Principals responsible for proposal operations. Bring whoever owns the proposal process day to day.
    How should we prepare?
    Come ready to discuss your current workflow, content library, tools, and recurring pain points. No formal preparation is required — we'll guide the session.
    Is this a sales call?
    No. The Diagnostic is a working session that produces a prioritized modernization roadmap. If full implementation makes sense afterward, that's a separate conversation.
    Is the Diagnostic useful for firms already using AI?
    Yes. The AI Readiness Assessment evaluates whether your content and workflows are actually ready to support accurate AI retrieval, and where to refine what you already have.
    Does the fee apply toward implementation?
    Yes. If you proceed with a ProposalOps System™ implementation within 30 days, your $497 Diagnostic fee will be credited toward the engagement.
