Demo walkthrough · synthetic data

See how SourceDeck turns one opportunity into a working capture deck.

Eight stages, one synthetic VA SDVOSB facilities-support opportunity, end-to-end. No video required — the artifacts are the demo. Layouts, fields, and traceability mirror what SourceDeck produces on a real opportunity in your workspace.

Synthetic data   Disclaimer: SourceDeck has not pulled any restricted, private, or attributed-to-real-agency data on this page. All names, contract numbers, and contact references are illustrative. The underlying record is in /assets/demo-opportunity.json.
01
Import or paste opportunity

Paste a SAM.gov URL or upload a solicitation PDF. Solicitation, attachments, and amendments are normalized into one workspace record. The source documents stay cited downstream.

Why this mattersSource documents are preserved verbatim, so every downstream output (deck, matrix, draft) cites back to the actual paragraph — not a paraphrase.
02
Extract deadlines, NAICS, set-aside, contract type, and submission rules

SourceDeck reads the solicitation header and synopsis. Submission rules (page limits, font size, file format) and amendment cadence are parsed and added to the workspace calendar.

Why this mattersThe most expensive proposal mistake is a Section L compliance miss — wrong format, wrong page count, wrong file type. Catching submission rules at intake makes that miss preventable.
03
Score bid/no-bid fit

A 0–100 score across configurable dimensions: NAICS / PSC fit, set-aside eligibility, agency history, contract type, deadline runway, capacity, past-performance match. Returns a written rationale you can defend in a bid review.

SourceDeck · Fit Score
Bid recommended
82/100
Recommendation: BID

Strengths: SDVOSB fit, facilities past performance, recurring service scope. Risks: short response window, incumbent unknown, staffing assumptions need a sub teaming partner.

Why this mattersBid/no-bid is the single highest-leverage decision in capture. A defensible written score — not a gut call — survives turnover and scales across pursuits.
04
Build source-backed opportunity summary

A one-page sourced summary: agency, scope, evaluation factors, period of performance, ceiling, set-aside, decision notes. Every claim links back to the source document. The full sample is on the sample SourceDeck page.

Cited

Tier 1 facilities support — recurring custodial and grounds work at the VA Medical Center, base + 4 option years, SDVOSB total set-aside [L.2, p. 7]. Weighted heavily toward technical approach and past performance [M.1, M.2]. Single-shift staffing core with on-call for after-hours work orders [PWS §3.2].

Citations link into the cached solicitation PDF in the live workspace.

Why this mattersCitations turn a deck from a one-shot writeup into an audit trail. A reviewer can see exactly which paragraph drove every claim — and that’s how a deck survives a procurement review.

Generate compliance matrix starter

Section L requirements paired with Section M evaluation factors. Each requirement mapped to a response location, an owner, and an evidence artifact. Exports to Word with traceability preserved.

Why this mattersThe compliance matrix is the document that keeps a proposal from being thrown out on a technicality. Building it on day one — not on day twenty — changes the proposal’s economics.

Map stakeholder categories safely

The buying constellation around the opportunity, with FAR-aware contact posture per role. Reference intelligence only. SourceDeck does not recommend mass outreach or contact during restricted communication windows.

Draft proposal sections for human review

Response sections drafted against your past-performance library and the parsed compliance matrix. AI draft · human review required. Reviewer notes call out assumptions to verify before submission.

Section: Technical approach — status: AI draft, human review required

[Sample excerpt — synthetic data, AI draft, human review required]
Our approach to facilities support at the VA Medical Center is built on three principles: a stable on-site staffing model with named shift leads, a documented escalation path for after-hours work orders, and continuous-improvement reporting tied to the agency’s SLAs. We propose a single-shift core team augmented by an SDVOSB sub-partner for night and weekend coverage, ensuring SDVOSB self-performance compliance under FAR 52.219-14.
  • !Verify staffing assumptions before submission.
  • !Confirm sub MOU is signed before referencing it in the FAR 52.219-14 attestation.
  • !Cross-check Section L paragraph references against the live solicitation amendment.
Why this mattersAn AI draft is a starting point, not a deliverable. Every saved deliverable is reviewed by a named human owner before it leaves the workspace — see methodology.

Assign capture actions and follow-up

Capture-action plan tied to the actual solicitation calendar. Q&A windows, amendment dates, color-team review dates. Owners assigned, FAR-aware contact posture preserved.

Why this mattersMost pursuits don’t fail at the proposal — they fail in the gap between “saw it” and “wrote it.” A scheduled action calendar with named owners closes that gap.
