Capture Workflows

Use Capture Workflows in GovTribe AI to rank opportunities, qualify pursuits, review pipelines, find incumbents, and plan capture action.

Use Capture Workflows when the output should help you decide what to pursue, how to pursue it, or how to improve a pipeline. This skill is built for opportunity ranking, bid/no-bid decisions, pricing evidence that affects pursuit strategy, past-performance fit, likely bidders, incumbents, black-hat reviews, buyer expansion, and pipeline operations.

This is the right skill when the answer should end with a recommendation, not just a summary.

Short prompts work when the target and context are clear, for example: run bid/no-bid on [GovTribe link], find likely bidders for [GovTribe link], or find the incumbent for [solicitation number].

Tailor this workflow to your market

Tell GovTribe AI the industry or market context when it changes the capture decision you need. For example, name whether the work is logistics and supply, IT and cyber, professional services, construction and facilities, or another market lane. Include buyer or agency, geography, asset or system type, compliance context, contract type, and the capture decision you want to support.

Market context helps GovTribe AI tailor bid/no-bid gates, likely-bidder analysis, incumbent research, past-performance fit, and pricing questions. Ask for the checks that matter in your lane, such as bonding for construction work, FedRAMP for cloud work, NSN or approved-source rules for supply work, or key-personnel and compensation realism for services work. GovTribe records and source files still control which facts are confirmed.

Relevant opportunities

Use this workflow to rank open opportunities against a company, capability profile, customer set, geography, certification, vehicle access, or strategic lane.

This helps teams move from "show me opportunities" to "which opportunities deserve capture time." GovTribe AI can weigh fit, timing, competition, buyer alignment, and available evidence so the list is useful for action.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Relevant Opportunities. Rank current federal opportunities for a small business with Python, GIS, data engineering, and cloud application support capabilities.

Use this public opportunity as one reference point, then find similar work that looks actionable: https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/pingmapper-python-programming-services-140g0326q0120

Score each result for fit, timing, competition, buyer alignment, and recommended next action.

Conduct bid/no-bid review

Use this workflow for one opportunity or pursuit when you need a disciplined qualification decision. GovTribe AI can evaluate fit, buyer history, timing, competition, pricing pressure, readiness, teammate needs, and strategic value.

This is valuable when a team needs a clear pursue, no-bid, watch, or partner posture. Go/no-go means the same decision family unless your team defines a separate gate. If your team uses a formal review scorecard, include those inputs in the prompt so the result reflects your decision process while staying focused on the recommendation and evidence.

When a recurring monitor flags one opportunity that needs a pursuit decision, use this workflow for the bid/no-bid recommendation.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Conduct Bid / No-Bid Review for this opportunity: https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/j059-rfq-new-building-automation-system-sustainment-maintenance-repair-and-lifecycle-po-jeremiah-middleton-far-part-12-36c26026q0629

Assume we are an SDVOSB facilities operations contractor with healthcare facility experience and building automation system partners. Recommend pursue, no-bid, watch, or partner, and show the evidence behind the call.

Short version:

run bid/no-bid on this VA facilities opportunity for an SDVOSB BAS maintenance contractor

Saved-search to bid/no-bid to annotated outline

Use this workflow when an automation should watch new saved-search results, qualify them first, and create or draft annotated proposal outlines only for pursuit-worthy targets.

GovTribe AI can review the records included in the automation run, separate weak fits from viable targets, and treat go/no-go as bid/no-bid language. This keeps outlines from being created when source files, company context, access path, timing, or other hard gates are not strong enough.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Saved Search to Bid / No-Bid to Annotated Outline.

Review new results from this saved search, qualify each one through a bid/no-bid or go/no-go gate, and create an annotated outline only for targets that pass as BID or BID_WITH_PARTNER. If source files are missing or a result should only be watched, explain why no outline was created.

Conduct price-to-win review

Use this workflow when a price-to-win range or pricing evidence already exists and you need to understand what it means for one opportunity. GovTribe AI can connect the pricing posture to pursuit fit, competitor pressure, confidence, assumptions, open questions, and actions before bid review.

Use Pricing Data when you need GovTribe AI to build the price-to-win range, wage baseline, awarded-price comparison, or pricing model first. Use Capture Workflows when the team needs to decide what that evidence means for pursuit strategy.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Conduct Price-to-Win Review for this opportunity: https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/j059-rfq-new-building-automation-system-sustainment-maintenance-repair-and-lifecycle-po-jeremiah-middleton-far-part-12-36c26026q0629

Use the price-to-win evidence we already have, solicitation requirements, incumbent or predecessor context, comparable awards, and competitor signals where available. Recommend the capture posture, key assumptions, confidence level, and the pricing or pursuit questions we should answer before bid review.

Short version:

what does this PTW evidence mean for our pursuit?

Past performance match

Use this workflow to assess whether a company has credible past performance for a specific opportunity, grant, buyer, or requirement.

This is useful when proposal teams need to know which projects support the response, where evidence is strong, and where the team may need partners, explanations, or additional proof points.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Past Performance Match. Assess whether a company with Navy ship repair, precision fabrication, and marine component manufacturing experience has credible past performance for this opportunity: https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/fabrication-of-one-stern-tube-shaft-assembly-n0040626q0177

Separate strong matches, partial matches, gaps, and partner needs. End with the past-performance story we should lead with.

Likely bidders

Use this workflow to identify vendors or recipients most likely to pursue a target opportunity. GovTribe AI can use buyer history, similar awards, incumbency, geography, category fit, vehicles, and prior activity to build a ranked bidder field.

This is valuable for competitive strategy, teaming outreach, black-hat preparation, and bid/no-bid decisions.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Likely Bidders for this RFI: https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/biosurveillance-and-biological-detection-capabilities-request-for-information-70rsat26rfi000019

Rank likely bidders or partners using buyer history, similar awards, incumbency, technical fit, and category evidence. Explain why each company belongs on the list and what we should do next.

Find incumbent for a federal contract opportunity

Use this workflow when you need the strongest defensible incumbent for one federal opportunity. GovTribe AI follows direct notice-thread evidence first, then child-order recovery, predecessor recovery, and tightly constrained fallback evidence.

This matters because parent vehicles and broad keyword matches can mislead capture teams. The workflow keeps the evidence tiers visible so you know how confident the incumbent call really is.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Find Incumbent for a Federal Contract Opportunity. Find the strongest defensible incumbent for this opportunity: https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/j059-rfq-new-building-automation-system-sustainment-maintenance-repair-and-lifecycle-po-jeremiah-middleton-far-part-12-36c26026q0629

Show the evidence tier for each candidate, distinguish direct linkage from fallback evidence, and state the confidence level.

Conduct black-hat review

Use this workflow to run a mock source-selection review for one opportunity. GovTribe AI can reconstruct the likely evaluation model, identify serious bidders, score competitors against the buyer's stated and observed priorities, and recommend counter-moves.

This helps teams prepare for color reviews, competitor strategy, and proposal positioning before the response is locked.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Conduct Black Hat Review for this opportunity: https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/j059-rfq-new-building-automation-system-sustainment-maintenance-repair-and-lifecycle-po-jeremiah-middleton-far-part-12-36c26026q0629

Reconstruct the likely evaluation model, identify serious competitors, score their likely strengths and weaknesses, and recommend counter-moves for our capture and proposal teams.

Federal buyer expansion plan

Use this workflow when you want a one-office expansion plan for a target vendor and federal buyer office. GovTribe AI can review the vendor's lane, the office's buying pattern, access gaps, contacts, near-term demand, and concrete pursuit angles.

This is useful for account planning and growth strategy when the question is not just "what does this agency buy?" but "how should we expand into this buyer?"

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Federal Buyer Expansion Plan. Build a one-office expansion plan using the buyer and awardee context from this award: https://govtribe.com/award/federal-contract-award/bpa-call-1305m226a0004-1305m226f0198

Identify the buyer's lane, adjacent demand, access gaps, relationship angles, near-term opportunities, and a 30-day BD action plan.

Create my pipeline

Use this workflow when no suitable pipeline exists and you want GovTribe AI to help shape a new one. GovTribe AI can check for existing pipelines, define the market focus, recommend a stage structure, and create the pipeline only when you explicitly ask.

This helps avoid duplicate or unfocused pipelines and gives the new pipeline a usable capture structure from the beginning.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Create My Pipeline. Create a pipeline named Healthcare Facilities Systems Sustainment for VA and DoD facilities work.

Use stages for Triage, Qualification, Capture, Proposal, Submitted, Won, Lost, and Abandoned. Use this opportunity as an example of the kind of work the pipeline should track: https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/j059-rfq-new-building-automation-system-sustainment-maintenance-repair-and-lifecycle-po-jeremiah-middleton-far-part-12-36c26026q0629

Review my pipeline

Use this workflow to clean up an existing pipeline. GovTribe AI can review active pursuits, stale timing, missing linked records, estimated values, stage hygiene, and likely won/lost/abandoned candidates.

This is valuable when a pipeline has grown messy and the team needs a practical worklist, not a report full of noise.

When a recurring market monitor or saved-search report flags one pipeline item that needs action, use this workflow for the pursuit-specific cleanup recommendation.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Review My Pipeline. Review my active federal healthcare facilities pipeline for stale pursuits, missing linked records, weak estimated values, stage hygiene problems, and likely won, lost, or abandoned candidates.

Return a practical cleanup worklist with owner-friendly next actions.

Seed my pipeline

Use this workflow to build the first meaningful candidate set for an empty or low-signal pipeline. GovTribe AI can use buyer, vendor, NAICS, PSC, grant program, geography, vehicle, certification, prior pursuits, or plain-language capability signals to identify seed candidates.

This helps teams turn a new market theme into real pursuit options without searching every page manually.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Seed My Pipeline. Seed my empty pipeline for federal software, data engineering, and scientific analysis support.

Start from these examples, then identify similar actionable opportunities and records:
https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/pingmapper-python-programming-services-140g0326q0120
https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/biosurveillance-and-biological-detection-capabilities-request-for-information-70rsat26rfi000019

Expand my pipeline

Use this workflow to grow a resolved pipeline with net-new candidates. GovTribe AI starts with the current pipeline lane, looks for missed same-lane opportunities first, then widens carefully into adjacent buyers, work dimensions, or market areas.

This is useful when a pipeline has momentum but needs better coverage, more qualified adds, or a broader view of nearby demand.

Example prompt:

Use Capture Workflows > Expand My Pipeline. Expand my existing facilities sustainment pipeline with missed same-lane opportunities first, then tightly adjacent opportunities.

Use this opportunity as the lane anchor: https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/j059-rfq-new-building-automation-system-sustainment-maintenance-repair-and-lifecycle-po-jeremiah-middleton-far-part-12-36c26026q0629

Explain why each recommended add belongs in the pipeline and which stage it should enter.
