    Why this is hard

    A federal solicitation runs past a hundred pages across the notice, the statement of work, Sections L and M and a dozen attachments, and the requirements are not in one place.

    Requirements are scattered by design

    The obligations are in the SOW, the instructions in Section L, the scoring in Section M, and half the binding detail in attachments. Nothing maps them to each other.

    The matrix takes days to build

    A capture team spends one to three days extracting requirements into a compliance matrix before a bid decision can even be made, which is why many teams decide on instinct instead.

    Amendments invalidate the work

    An amendment can move deadlines, scope or evaluation criteria after writing has started. Re-reading the whole package by hand is what usually does not happen.

    What Analyze does

    SOW broken down

    • Every requirement in the statement of work extracted and mapped to Section L and M.

    Matrix built

    • A working compliance matrix instead of a spreadsheet rebuild.

    Always cited

    • Each extraction points back to its page in the source document.

    Meet Sammy

    Sammy is the smartest AI agent on your capture team. Every RFP, RFQ, RFI, and DIBBS notice that reaches Analyze passes through Sammy first — read line by line, mapped to Section L and M, and turned into a compliance matrix before your team opens the document.

    He does not summarize and stop. Sammy flags the requirements that are easy to miss under deadline pressure, cites the exact clause behind every extraction, and hands your team a starting point that is already structured, not a wall of text to read again from scratch.

    Sammy, SamSearch's AI agent
    Sammy

    What you get out of it

    Every requirement extracted

    • Each shall, must and will from the statement of work, pulled out and mapped to the Section L instruction and Section M factor it answers to.

    A working compliance matrix

    • Not a spreadsheet to rebuild. A matrix you can assign from, with a row per requirement and a place for the response to live.

    Citations on every extraction

    • Each item points back to the document and page it came from, so a human can verify it in seconds rather than trusting it.

    A diff when the amendment lands

    • Re-run the extraction and see exactly what moved, so the matrix stays true to the current solicitation.

    Sammy, to ask the rest

    • The questions a matrix does not answer are the ones capture leads actually have: what is the scope of work, do we meet the eligibility criteria, what is the incumbent being paid. Sammy answers them against the solicitation and its attachments, and every answer carries the citation, with the exact phrase highlighted in the source document so you can check it in a click.

    Everything, not the notice

    The solicitation, the statement of work, wage determinations, specifications and every amendment. Read as they land rather than when someone gets to them.

    A brief you can decide from

    Scope, eligibility, evaluation approach, key dates and anything unusual. Not an abstract of the notice: a read of the whole package, including what the notice never mentions.

    Ask the solicitation anything

    Sammy reads the notice and every attachment, then answers with the source and the page beside the answer.

    SammyReading 5 attachmentsEvery answer cited
    You

    Do we meet the eligibility criteria, and what is the page limit on Volume I?

    Sammy

    Yes. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 561210 and your profile is registered small under that code. Volume I is capped at 30 pages, raised from 25 by Amendment 0002.

    Section L p.41Attachment 1 p.12Amendment 0002 p.3
    Amendment 0002, p.3

    “Paragraph L.3.1 is revised to read: the Technical Volume shall not exceed thirty (30) pages, excluding…”

    The questions a matrix cannot answer

    What is actually in scope, do we meet the eligibility criteria, what is the incumbent being paid, is a facility clearance required, what does Section M weight most.

    Verifiable, not just plausible

    Each answer links to the source document and highlights the phrase it came from, so you are checking a citation rather than trusting a summary.

    An honest 'not stated'

    Where the package does not say, Sammy says so instead of filling the gap. That is what makes the other answers usable.

    When the amendment lands, it is read again

    Deadlines move, page limits change and evaluation factors get reweighted after people have started writing.

    Requirements are re-extracted, tasks carrying the old dates move with them, and everyone watching the pursuit is notified.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a compliance matrix in government proposals?
    A compliance matrix maps every requirement in the solicitation to the place in your proposal that answers it. Evaluators use it to check you have addressed Section L's instructions and Section M's evaluation criteria; proposal managers use it to assign and track work. Building one by hand is the single most time-consuming task in early proposal work.
    What are Section L and Section M?
    In a federal solicitation, Section L holds the instructions to offerors (how to structure and submit the proposal), and Section M holds the evaluation factors the government will score against. Section L tells you what to write; Section M tells you what will be rewarded. Requirements in the statement of work have to be traced to both.
    How long does it take to review an RFP?
    Manually, a complex solicitation takes an experienced capture team one to three days to read, extract and matrix before a bid decision can be made, which is why many teams decide on instinct instead. Automated extraction brings that to minutes, so the bid/no-bid conversation happens against the actual requirements rather than a skim.
    Can AI read the attachments, not just the solicitation?
    It has to. The notice is rarely where the binding detail lives: scope, deliverables, security requirements and evaluation criteria are usually in attachments and amendments. SamSearch processes the whole package, and every extraction points back to the page it came from so a human can verify it.
    Can you ask questions about an RFP instead of reading it?
    That is what Sammy is for. It reads the solicitation and every attachment, then answers plain-English questions about scope, eligibility, deadlines and evaluation criteria. The part that matters is verifiability: each answer links to the source document and highlights the phrase it came from, so you are checking a citation rather than trusting a summary.
    What happens when an amendment changes the requirements?
    Amendments frequently change deadlines, scope or evaluation criteria after teams have started writing. Re-reading the whole package by hand is what usually does not happen. Re-running the extraction and diffing it against the previous version shows exactly what moved, so the compliance matrix stays true to the current solicitation.
