Writing the proposal
Both build a compliance matrix. BidFunnels Pro also drafts from your Library files, shows the source on each paragraph, marks gaps instead of filling them, and keeps an answer library of reusable text. Check my proposal marks each requirement Covered, Partly or Not found.
Bottom line: Drafts you can trace back to your own past work.
