30 minutes on a call. Written one-page read on your bid selection patterns. No pitch attached, no product walkthrough.
3 of your last 5 losses involved GCs you've noted as slow payers. The bids are competitive — the client selection isn't serving your business.
The whole process takes 30 minutes of your time. The analysis takes me 3–5 days after the call.
Pick a time below. The intake form asks for your trade, revenue range, and a rough summary of your recent bid history — takes 60 seconds.
Wins, losses, the ones you regret chasing. No prep needed — rough recall is fine. I ask the questions, you talk.
A one-page read on the patterns in your bid selection — GCs to flag, scopes to prioritize, decisions you're making on gut that data could inform.
If you've ever finished a bid pursuit thinking "I knew on day 3 we weren't going to win this one," this diagnostic is built for you.
The invite hits, the takeoff starts, and three hours later inertia carries it the rest of the way. There was never a real decision made.
Slow payers, GCs who bid-shop, clients outside your geographic core. The pattern is usually obvious once someone maps it — it's just never been mapped.
Win or lose, the knowledge stays in someone's head. Your bid history is the most valuable data you have — but only if you look at it as a pattern, not a list.
The bids that hurt aren't usually the close losses. They're the ones where the invite hit, the takeoff started, and three hours later inertia carried it the rest of the way.
A fair trade — your time and honest answers, in exchange for an outside read on your bid selection.
A 30-minute structured conversation walking through your last 10 bids — wins, losses, and the ones you regret chasing.
Three to five business days later, a written one-page memo on the patterns I see in your bid selection: GCs to flag, scopes to second-guess, decisions you're making on gut that you could be making on data.
No product walkthrough. No pitch on the call. The deliverable is the memo.
Honest input from specialty subs on what actually drives bid/no-bid decisions.
I'm building BidIntell — software that scores bids before you commit estimating time. The only way to build it right is by talking to the people doing the work.
If something in the memo sparks a conversation about BidIntell afterward, I'll send one short follow-up email. If not, no pressure either way.
Pick a time below. The intake form takes 60 seconds. Memo arrives 3–5 business days after the call.
Yes. I cap at 10 of these per month while I'm building BidIntell. The pattern data I get from these conversations is worth more to me than the time cost.
No. The memo is the deliverable. About a week after I send it, I'll follow up with one short email that mentions BidIntell because that's where this research feeds. You can reply or ignore.
Nothing. Just be ready to talk through your last 10 bids. Rough recall is fine — you don't need to pull files.
Three to five business days after the call.
I don't share other shops' memos — every prospect trusts me with their bid data and the deliverable is theirs alone. The only way to see what one looks like is to do one.
Yes, with Granola. The recording stays private and is only used so I can write your memo without trying to remember everything in real time. If recording is a deal-breaker, reply to your confirmation email and I'll take notes by hand.
Email ryan@bidintell.ai and I'll see what I can do. The 10/month cap exists to keep memo quality high.
