# Proposal and RFP first drafts

Draft proposals and questionnaire answers from your approved past answers, so the team edits a strong first draft instead of starting blank.

[Talk through this workflow](https://lidvizion.ai/contact/?need=ai-workflow&from=%2Fuse-cases%2Fproposal-and-rfp-drafting%2F#write) · [Automate the repeatable](https://lidvizion.ai/services/automation/)

Where it starts

## The trigger.

An RFP, security questionnaire or proposal request arrives.

How it runs today

- Answers are copied from old documents and go stale.
- Subject experts rewrite the same answers every time.
- Deadlines force rushed, inconsistent responses.

The workflow

## Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

1. 01 / Collect
   Keep approved answers, product facts and case material in one library.
2. 02 / Match
   Each question is matched to the closest approved answers, with the source.
3. 03 / Draft
   A first response is drafted and gaps are flagged as unanswered.
4. 04 / Review
   An owner edits and approves; new approved answers go back into the library.

Where people stay in control

## Approval points.

- Nothing is submitted without an owner’s approval.
- Unanswered or low-match questions go to a subject expert.

How we would measure it

## Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

### Hours per response, before and after.

### Share of answers approved without major edits.

### Responses submitted on time.
