    RFPs waste the most expensive resource you have: proposal time.

    False positives

    Looks like a fit… but specs are written for someone else.

    Hidden killers

    Unlimited liability, IP assignment, security terms, unrealistic SLAs.

    Opportunity cost

    Every low-prob bid steals resources from winnable deals.

    FitCheck is a gate. It protects your team's time and increases win-rate focus.
