01The Problem
Today’s workflow is the bottleneck.
Wednesday evening. Your proposal writer at a major EPC firm is staring at a 200-page road-and-rail RFP that landed this morning, with forty-eight hours on the clock. Somewhere in her document library is every answer she needs — prior winning bids, technical specs, compliance language — but it lives across hundreds of PDFs nobody has time to re-read. The gaps in this response are the difference between winning and losing the contract, and she is going to find them the hard way, one section at a time.

5 days between signal and action. The data science team did their job. The operator is still waiting.
02The Approach
How Catalyst handles it.
Catalyst doesn't hand your bid team another document repository. Its Document Intelligence collects and digitizes the product RFP documentation, organizes and tags content for fast retrieval, and lets bid teams ask targeted questions against the full corpus — pulling pertinent contextual information and suggested actions into the response they are writing. A Semantic Knowledge Graph comprehends subtle meanings across the library to supply precise insights, and continuous learning sharpens the recommendations as more proposals move through. It runs as an enterprise-ready, secure, scalable system. The writer is completing the draft, not excavating the library.
