Features

One operating system for federal business development.

MERIT covers the work between a solicitation appearing and a bid being submitted: what to look at, whether to pursue it, who to team with, who can staff it, and where every pursuit stands. The parts share one record, so the work done in one shows up in the next.

Daily Opportunity Briefings

New solicitations read against your profile, delivered daily. MERIT reviews new federal solicitations against your company profile — codes, set-asides, vehicles, past performance, the customers you already serve — and delivers the ones that fit as a short briefing each morning, ordered by what is worth your time first.

Gate Reviews

A disciplined fit, risk, and evidence check before you invest. A gate review is a structured check on fit, risk, coverage, and evidence, held before the team invests another month. MERIT keeps the questions consistent from pursuit to pursuit, drafts the fields it can support with a citation, and keeps every bid and no-bid decision on the record.

Partner Matching

Find teaming partners by capability, past performance, and gaps. MERIT reads what a pursuit actually requires, compares it against what your team can prove, and finds partners on the evidence that decides a teaming decision: capabilities, past performance with the customer, certifications, vehicle access, and the specific gaps you need covered.

Staffing & Resume Matching

Map labor categories to available talent and find gaps early. MERIT reads the labor categories out of a solicitation, matches them against the people and resumes you already have, and marks where coverage is thin — with the qualifications, clearances, and experience behind every match shown.

Pursuit Strategist

Researches, organizes, and drafts across active pursuits. The Pursuit Strategist does business-development work—not just summaries. It brings opportunity discovery, incumbent research, pipeline building, capture organization, and document drafting into one pursuit workflow — and hands each piece back with its sources and the decision it needs from your team.

Pipeline Management

Opportunities, stages, owners, and deadlines in one place. Opportunities, stage, owner, priority, and deadline — held in a single shared board, with the capture work attached to each pursuit rather than filed somewhere beside it. The pipeline stops being a spreadsheet somebody updates before the meeting.

Questions teams ask

Do we have to adopt all of this at once?
No. Most teams start where the pain is — usually daily briefings or the pipeline — and add the rest as they go. The parts share the same pursuit record, so adding one later does not mean re-entering work.
Does MERIT make decisions on our behalf?
No. MERIT prepares work: it reviews, drafts, matches, and flags, then stages everything for review. Advancing a pursuit, committing to a partner, and submitting a bid are always human actions.
Who is MERIT built for?
Business development and capture teams at small and mid-size federal contractors — the teams carrying a full pipeline without a large BD department behind them.
