Problem
Consulting firms responding to multiple RFPs per month face tight deadlines and resource constraints, often requiring weeks of manual effort to produce compliant, competitive proposals. The complexity of tracking every requirement, sourcing defensible claims, and predicting win probability against named competitors leads to missed boxes, disqualifications, and lost opportunities.
Solution
Archie is an AI-powered proposal platform that generates a first-draft proposal in 30 minutes, working inside PowerPoint within a firm's own Microsoft 365 environment. The platform reads the RFP, surfaces requirements and disqualifiers, and produces a one-page brief covering scope, deliverables, timeline, and win themes. It then drafts the full proposal with compliance scoring, source traceability, and final review against RFP requirements. Every claim is scored across five coded source tiers—from the RFP itself to AI-generated content flagged for review—so partners can see at a glance what is defensible. Archie also predicts win probability by extracting scoring criteria from the RFP, naming competitors, and comparing their likely scores against the firm's strengths across five weighted factors: POV, problem understanding, commercial positioning, credentials, and approach.
Target Audience
Primary customers are consulting firms, including partners, senior managers, and heads of operations at organizations like EY, PwC, Oliver Wyman, Accenture, and IBM, that respond to four or more RFPs per month.
