Tailor
Tailor is Pencel's proposal builder — it turns an RFP (and the opportunity your RFP Scout found) into a drafted response, grounded in your past answers and checked against the RFP's actual requirements.
Tailor is the second half of the RFP solution pack: the scout finds and ranks opportunities, and Tailor helps you respond. From an opportunity card in Pulse, click Write proposal to open Tailor for that RFP.
What Tailor does
- Requirement extraction — Tailor reads the RFP and pulls out the requirements you must respond to. Extraction is graded by an LLM judge for accuracy, and coverage is honest: it won't silently mark a requirement "passing" when it isn't. Uncertain items are surfaced, not hidden.
- Add or edit requirements — missed something? Add or edit requirements directly in the Analyze view.
- Reuse past answers — Tailor pulls relevant prior answers from your Knowledge and Memory, so you're not rewriting boilerplate you've already answered.
- Format compliance — it checks your response against the RFP's format rules and reports honestly (no silent "compliant"). It warns when a base document was ingested lossily (e.g. a scanned PDF) and prefers a
.docxsource. - Compliance matrix export — export a requirement-by-requirement compliance matrix for your submission.
- Resume review — a tailored document's review is never a dead end; you can resume it later.
The flow
- Scout publishes opportunity cards to the Pulse Opportunities scope.
- You pick one and click Write proposal.
- Tailor extracts requirements, drafts responses grounded in your past answers, and flags gaps.
- You review, fill gaps, and export the compliance matrix with your response.
