Each profile includes analysis of recent contract wins and losses, M&A activity, market expansion efforts, organizational shifts, financial benchmarks, and updated wrap rate models.

Designed to support proactive decision-making, this product helps clients maintain situational awareness and respond strategically to changes in the competitive landscape.

Opportunity Landscape & Competitor Assessments

These modular, opportunity-specific analyses provide a comprehensive understanding of the competitive field and can be commissioned either independently or as an integrated suite:

  • Opportunity Landscape: Broad scan and down-select of all potential bidders—including known primes and dark horse candidates—culminating in a focused list of likely competitors, each analyzed for fit, capability, and risk posture.

  • Competitor Assessment: In-depth evaluation of a specific bidder’s positioning for a given opportunity, including SWOT analysis, teaming strategy, past performance alignment, technical gaps, value proposition, and mock evaluation scoring.

  • Self-Look Assessment: A mirror of the competitor assessment, applied to the client’s own solution. This diagnostic evaluates how outsiders view your strengths, weaknesses, and score-ability — forming a foundational element of our Price-to-Win recommendations.

Together, these assessments provide the analytical foundation for a well-informed Price-to-Win recommendation—but each can also be performed as a standalone deliverable based on client need.
