Problem
The site selection process, which relies heavily on Requests for Information (RFIs), is often inefficient due to difficulties in managing communication and data flow between site selectors and economic development organizations (EDOs).

The platform simplifies the RFI process by providing tools to configure projects, manage invitations, and track submissions in a centralized location. Lexa leverages AI scoring to facilitate seamless comparison of submissions, enabling users to focus on high-value work and achieve better outcomes. Built-in messaging enhances communication, while managed invitations and AI assistance encourage broader participation from relevant stakeholders.
