Plan Every Deadline Backward with AI Automation

When a solicitation drops, CLEATUS reads the due date and builds a timeline backward — calculating Pink, Red, and Gold team review dates, draft deadlines, and key milestones. Your team gets a ready-made schedule the moment an opportunity enters pursuit.

Backward Planning

From Due Date to Full Timeline in Seconds

The AI reads the submission deadline from the solicitation and works backward. It calculates dates for Pink Team, Red Team, and Gold Team reviews, sets draft deadlines for each proposal volume, and builds a milestone schedule your team can follow from day one.
