What is a bid signal?

A bid signal is an observable pattern in RFPs or market data that indicates price pressure or scope change. Examples include unit pricing anomalies, alternates requests, value engineering asks, and intentional low-ball bids.

How do I map signals to KPIs and owners?

Map each signal to a primary KPI, a data source, and an owner. For example, competitor underbid -> KPI: targeted win rate improvement; data source: RFP logs; owner: estimating; metric: bid-quality score 0-5.

How does scoring and escalation work?

Score each signal 0-5, multiply by predefined weights, and combine scores. Use defined windows (eg 30-day sentiment, last three RFP cycles). If the combined weighted score is 7 or higher, escalate to estimating and sales immediately.

Which pitch templates should I use when a high-weight signal appears?

Pick one short template such as: Schedule guarantee, Lifecycle pricing, or Mitigation plan. Add a concise metric and one evidence bullet (eg past project on-time rate 98% or 5-year maintenance savings 18%). Keep lines short and claim-backed.

What SEO phrases map to buyer value?

Use targeted phrases mapped to buyer value, for example: "masonry contractor bonded schedule" for time savings and risk reduction; "concrete scope with lifecycle pricing" for total cost and simplicity; "fast-track masonry with permit support" for time savings and reduced owner effort.

What data sources and measurement steps should I use?

Primary sources: Google Search Console, review APIs, RFP logs and internal estimating history, and public filings. Measurement steps: poll APIs daily, compute a 30-day rolling sentiment, compute a three-bid underbid frequency, and trigger actions when thresholds are exceeded.

What is the quick action checklist?

Daily: poll GSC and review APIs. Weekly: run underbid analysis across the last three RFP cycles. On high combined score: draft a one-page addendum and escalate to estimating and sales within 24 hours. Quarterly: track win-rate and KPI deltas.
