Win Back 5 Hours a Week

A manual "Section L & M" (Instructions and Evaluation Criteria) review takes about 20 minutes. If you qualify 3 RFPs a day, you lose 5 hours a week just figuring out what's real and what's a timesink.

You only pursue pre-qualified, invite-only opportunities
You need AI proposal drafting rather than bid qualification

Questions Before You Start?

Why not just use ChatGPT?

askaGOAT is what you use before getting into GenAI. It extracts mandatory requirements and disqualifiers so accuracy doesn't depend on perfect prompting.

Is askaGOAT a SAM.gov replacement?

No. SAM.gov lists federal opportunities. askaGOAT is the qualification layer after discovery — spot bid killers, deadlines, past performance burden, and proposal workload before you chase another RFP.

Is askaGOAT a GovWin IQ replacement?

No. GovWin IQ, SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, and similar tools help you find and track opportunities. askaGOAT helps you qualify the RFP package once you find one, so you can decide quickly whether it is worth pursuing.
