PROPOSAL COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Know Where Your Proposal Will Fail Before the Government Tells You
Evaluator-informed review of your draft proposal, delivered in 48 to 72 hours, starting at $750.
Quick Answer
Proposal Precheck is a fixed-price, fast-turnaround review of your draft federal proposal, conducted by former federal evaluators and contracting officers before you submit. You send us your solicitation and current draft. We send back a prioritized list of compliance gaps, evaluator risks, and improvement opportunities, typically within 48 to 72 hours. It is not a rewrite. It is the check that tells you what to fix before the government tells you it was non-responsive.

FAQs
What is a Proposal Precheck?
1
A Proposal Precheck is a fixed-price, fast-turnaround review of your draft federal proposal against the solicitation's instructions and evaluation criteria. You receive a prioritized list of compliance gaps and risk flags before you submit, typically within 48 to 72 hours.
How much does a proposal compliance review cost?
2
CIG’s Precheck starts at $750 for a 48 to 72 hour review. Precheck+, which adds an evaluator-style written assessment, is $1,500 over 3 to 5 business days. Deeper support through a Micro Sprint starts at $3,500.
Does Proposal Precheck include proposal writing?
3
No. Proposal Precheck is an advisory review service. It does not include full proposal writing, price volume development, legal review, or submission support unless separately scoped in writing. If your review shows you need that level of support, we'll tell you and offer a clear next step.
How is this different from having a colleague review my proposal?
4
CIG's review methodology comes from people who sat on federal evaluation boards and scored proposals under FAR Part 15. We flag the issues that cause evaluators to mark a proposal non-responsive or rate it "Marginal," not just typos or formatting inconsistencies.
