What makes a capability statement work in GovCon?

One page, scannable in 30 seconds: identifiers a contracting officer needs (UEI, CAGE, NAICS, set-asides), 3-5 core competencies in the government’s vocabulary, past performance with real customers and values, and clear differentiators. Stale past performance is the most common credibility leak, which is exactly what this skill fixes.
