Can I customize what fields are included in the benchmark?

Yes. The AI Extract node lets you define which fields to pull: award values, contract types, POP lengths, labor categories, small business participation, and more. You configure the output schema to match what your pricing team needs.

Does this replace our pricing model?

No. This workflow provides market context to inform your pricing model. The benchmark brief gives your team data-backed starting points — your pricing analysts still build the bottom-up BOE and price-to-win analysis using this data as a foundation.

Who it's for: Pricing analysts, capture managers, and BD leaders at government contracting companies who need market-based pricing intelligence to inform bid strategy and price-to-win estimates.
What it does: Triggers on pursuit.phase_changed to Capture or Proposal. Queries historical awards matching the opportunity's NAICS, agency, and scope keywords. AI extracts pricing patterns — award value ranges (p25/p50/p75), typical contract types, POP lengths, and labor mix signals. Delivers a pricing benchmark brief via log note, Slack, and email.
Key outcomes: Pricing teams receive automated market benchmarks on every pursuit. Price-to-win estimates are grounded in real award data. Bid/no-bid decisions have better cost context.

Start Every Bid with Market-Backed Pricing Intelligence

When a pursuit moves to Capture or Proposal, CLEATUS automatically queries similar historical awards — same NAICS, agency, and scope — and delivers pricing benchmarks to your team: typical award ranges, contract types, and value distributions. Your pricing team starts with data, not assumptions.

Market Pricing Data

Historical Award Benchmarks — Delivered Automatically

When a pursuit reaches Capture, the workflow queries CLEATUS's contract database for the 10-20 most similar historical awards at the same agency and NAICS. AI analyzes the results and extracts: typical award value range (25th, 50th, 75th percentile), common contract types (FFP, T&M, cost-plus), average POP, and which vehicles were used. The benchmark brief is logged to the pursuit and sent to your pricing lead.

Pricing Context

Feed Your Price-to-Win with Real Market Data

The pricing benchmark brief becomes the starting point for your price-to-win analysis. It shows what the government typically pays for similar work, which competitors won at what values, and whether the trend is up or down. Your pricing team uses this to set bid ranges, justify rate assumptions, and identify where to compete on price versus value.
