## What to Evaluate

AI quoting software should be evaluated on whether it can turn messy source inputs into reviewable quote outputs with evidence, pricing, and human approval.

Core requirements:

- Source traceability for every requirement, quantity, answer, and price.
- RFP intake for PDFs, DOCX files, addenda, portal exports, and attachments.
- Takeoff intake for PDF plans, scans, CAD, BIM, and specifications.
- Pricing connectivity to CPQ, ERP, catalogs, pricing workbooks, supplier quotes, and margin rules.
- Human approval gates for pricing, legal, compliance, estimating, sales engineering, and proposal review.
- Compliance matrix output for RFP workflows.
- Quote workbook output for takeoff workflows.
- Knowledgebase retrieval from approved answers, product specs, certifications, prior proposals, and policies.
- CRM and CPQ integration with Salesforce, Revenue Cloud, opportunity records, and quote records.
- Audit history for source links, reviewer decisions, version changes, exceptions, and final disposition.

## Best Fit

The checklist is designed for:

- Proposal teams selecting RFP AI or RFP response automation software.
- Construction estimators selecting takeoff AI or automated quantity takeoff software.
- Manufacturers quoting configurable products from RFPs, drawings, CAD files, and specifications.
- Revenue operations teams connecting AI quote workflows to Salesforce CPQ, Revenue Cloud, ERP, workbooks, and approval policy.
