Bid or no bid, decided honestly.

Most losing bids were losable before anyone wrote a page: wrong fit, missing paperwork, not enough days. Eight questions, weighted the way tenders are actually won and lost, scored 0 to 100 in your browser. The weights are printed on each question, and nothing you enter leaves this page.

01Does the scope match what you actually sell, without stretching the catalogue?weight 22
02Have you read the tender documents, and can you meet every mandatory requirement (classification, references, certifications)?weight 18
03Is there enough time before the deadline to build a serious offer, bond included?weight 14
04Do you know this buyer: their history, their incumbents, how they award?weight 12
05Is the contract genuinely contestable, or does an incumbent hold every advantage?weight 12
06Can you be competitive on price at a margin you would sign?weight 10
07Could you actually deliver it: capacity, partners, logistics, guarantees?weight 8
08Does winning this move you somewhere: a market, a reference, a framework?weight 4

Answer all 8 questions for the verdict. Nothing you enter leaves this page.

The method, in the open

Fit and mandatory requirements carry 40 of the 100 points because they are the two reasons bids die: a stretched catalogue loses on the technical score, and a missing attestation loses before scoring begins. Time is next, because a serious offer has a minimum construction cost. The verdict bands are deliberate: 75 and up is a bid, 50 to 74 is a bid only if the weak answers can change this week, below 50 is a no with the reason written down. This is TRINTA's own triage logic in manual form; the radar runs the same judgement automatically, against your catalogue, every morning.
