Questions

How is this different from hiring a grant writer or capture manager?

A single hire covers one role. This is a fractional team: a human Strategist plus six Capture Digital Employees and seven Proposal Digital Employees, covering monitoring, scoring, matching, research, compliance, drafting, and review together.

Do we need an existing capture or proposal process already in place?

No. This is built for organizations without a dedicated capture or proposal function, where the work has been getting done informally or not at all.

Are we still involved in decisions, or does the team run on its own?

You are still staffing the gap, just differently. Go/no-go calls, funder relationships, and final approval stay with your team and your Strategist. No Digital Employee submits anything without a person signing off.

What does the human Strategist actually do?

The Strategist manages the full roster, both Capture and Proposal Digital Employees, and is your point of accountability for the engagement.

What if we're not sure which organization type fits us?

Pick the closest one, or Other. We will confirm the right sourcing approach before your first opportunity list goes out.

Do you help us find teaming partners?

Yes. [TEAMING_DE] reads every scored opportunity for partnership signals, set-asides, mentor-protege eligibility, cost-share obligations, and required institutional partners, then returns a shortlist of candidates with a fit rationale for each. Outreach is drafted but never sent automatically. Your Strategist approves every introduction. We do not broker the partnership or take a fee on it.

How are opportunities scored?

Every opportunity is scored out of 10 across four weighted dimensions: Fit, Funding Size, Timeline, and Strategic Value. A score of 8.0 or higher is a Pursue. 6.5 to 7.9 is Monitor Next Cycle. Below 6.5 is a Pass, logged but not discarded.
