| Capability | Why It Matters | Weak Implementation | Strong Implementation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Requirement extraction | Creates the response checklist | Summarizes sections without IDs or source links | Extracts requirement IDs, deadlines, owners, and source citations |
| Compliance matrix | Controls response completeness | Static spreadsheet copied from the RFP | Live matrix with evidence, status, gaps, and reviewer notes |
| Pricing lookup | Turns a response into a quote | Manual pricing pasted late in the process | Connected CPQ, ERP, workbook, or pricing table lookup |
| Approved content retrieval | Prevents unsupported claims | Generic AI copy from a prompt | Source-backed answers from approved proposal and product content |
| Human approval | Protects margin, legal, and compliance decisions | No named reviewer or audit trail | Reviewer routing for pricing, legal, compliance, and technical exceptions |
