Live in production — a product I designed and built.

01the problem

Tenders are builtto exhaust you.

A government tender is a hundred pages of dense legal scope wrapped around a handful of decisions: can we comply, do we have the people, is it worth the bid? Teams answer it by hand — reading, cross-checking, chasing documents — under a closing-date clock.

40–120pages

of boilerplate, SBD forms and annexures to read per tender

8+documents

of compliance to gather, check for expiry, and confirm

1 misseddoc

or empty seat and the whole bid is disqualified

Bid checklist: 6 of 7 documents ready, B-BBEE certificate missing — bid disqualified.

Six of seven ready. Disqualified anyway.

Every tender you're chasing in one dashboard — its readiness, its blockers, and the smart tools that move it forward. Open any tool to drill in.

Score peopleagainst the brief.Seat by seat.

Every CV is scored 0–100 against the tender's role criteria — 70% fit, 30% evidence. Suitable candidates fill seats; a six-person role isn't ready until all six are filled. One strong CV can't fake a full team.

Personnel readiness counts seats, not roles — a 6-seat role stays unfilled until all six are covered.

Every required document is tracked to submission. As you upload, the AI checks for expiry, entity mismatches and wrong doc types — and flags what's off. It never blocks the bid; the final call is always yours.

06under the hood

Built to becheap to run.

The heaviest work — reading a 100-page tender end to end — happens once. The repetitive work — scoring CV after CV — runs cheap and in bulk. Each job is routed to the lightest tool that does it well, so the bill stays flat as the candidate pile grows.

The pile grows — the bill barely moves.

One heavy read of the tender plus bulk scoring of fifty CVs costs roughly eight rand per tender — the cost stays flat as the candidate pile grows. Figures illustrative.

compliance-to-personnel readiness weighting

The trick isn’t a bigger model — it’s routing every job to the cheapest tool that clears the bar. The system is tuned for cost, so it stays cheap to run at any volume.
