Solicitation to letter of interest

The solicitation comes in. A first draft is ready for your team.

Gonzalez's job postings say engineers and business development leads write the proposals. This demo starts where that time goes: reading a MoDOT solicitation and turning it into a scoring checklist, a pick of past projects, a letter of interest and a compliance check. Your people still make every call. They start from a draft instead of a blank page.
