Proposal & RFP analyzer for Gixo Arc

Paste your proposal draft — and optionally the RFP it answers — and get a 0–100 readiness score in seconds: which expected sections are missing, which RFP requirements your draft actually addresses, and the mechanical failures (undefined acronyms, broken cross-references, leftover placeholders) that make evaluators stop reading.

Run the free analyzer Create a proposal
No signup. No AI judgment. Run the same deterministic checks used by the Arc proposal workflow.

A proposal analyzer is a free, deterministic tool that scores a proposal draft 0–100 for submission readiness — checking section coverage against 21 proposal-type templates, extracting up to 60 RFP requirements to see which ones the draft actually addresses, and running a fixed 9-point readiness checklist (pricing section, signature block, validity period, and more). It runs on rule-based checks, not AI judgment, so the same draft always produces the same score. Readiness bands run Not Ready, Emerging, Close, and Ready.

Gixo proposal analyzer report showing a readiness score with band, section coverage, and the RFP compliance matrix for a pasted draft

A real analyzer run: readiness score and band, section coverage for the selected proposal type, and the RFP compliance matrix — produced in seconds, no account.

What does a proposal analyzer check, exactly?

No black box. These are the actual rule sets the analyzer runs — the same ones Gixo Arc uses internally.

Section coverage by proposal type
Pick from 21 proposal types — sales, RFP response, consulting, grant, renewal, government, and more. The analyzer maps your headings against that type's required and recommended sections and scores coverage 70% on required, 30% on recommended. A consulting proposal without a methodology section gets caught here.
RFP requirement coverage matrix
Paste the RFP and the analyzer extracts up to 60 requirement statements by obligation language — "shall", "must", "required to", "will provide", "will deliver", "responsible for", "should" — then measures how much of each requirement your draft covers: Addressed (≥66%), Partially Addressed (34–66%), or Not Addressed (<34%).
The 9-point readiness checklist
Pricing or investment section present. Acceptance / signature block. Validity period. Terms & conditions. Call to action or next steps. Table of contents. Case studies or social proof. No leftover placeholders like [Client Name]. Length appropriate for the proposal type. This checklist alone carries 45% of the composite score when no RFP is supplied, and 35% when one is.
Undefined acronyms
Flags acronyms used two or more times but never defined on first use — the silent credibility killer in technical and government responses. A common-knowledge allowlist (RFP, SLA, API, GDPR, and ~80 others) keeps the noise out.
Broken cross-references
Finds references to a Section, Clause, Article, Appendix, Exhibit, Schedule, Attachment, or Annex that doesn't exist in your draft — the artifact of stitching proposals together from old ones, and one of the first things a careful evaluator notices.
A composite score you can re-run
With an RFP: 40% section coverage + 35% readiness checklist + 25% requirement coverage. Without one: 55% sections + 45% readiness. Bands: Not Ready (0–39), Emerging (40–59), Close (60–79), Ready (80–100). Because it's deterministic, the score is a real progress meter — revise and re-run.

Gixo RFP requirement coverage matrix listing extracted requirements with Addressed, Partially Addressed, and Not Addressed statuses

The compliance matrix: every obligation statement extracted from the RFP, with your draft's coverage status next to it.

What can a deterministic proposal check tell you — and what can't it?

This analyzer is honest about what it is. Requirement coverage is measured by token overlap, not semantic understanding — it tells you whether your draft engages each requirement's language, not whether your answer is good. It extracts at most 60 requirements per RFP, and it doesn't rewrite anything. Inside Arc, the same deterministic checks become a proposal workflow: gaps become sections to draft, review, and export.

Use it the way proposal teams use a compliance pass: as the mechanical gate before the persuasion work. Every "Not Addressed" row is a section you write before submission. Every undefined acronym and broken cross-reference is a 30-second fix that would otherwise read as carelessness. The judgment calls — pricing strategy, win themes, tone — stay yours.

When the gaps need new writing, Arc can draft from your RFP and source files with evidence bound to what you uploaded, then support editing and human review before PDF, DOCX, or HTML export. A 14-day Arc trial is available without a credit card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the proposal analyzer really free?
Yes — the public analyzer is available without an account or email. It runs deterministic rule sets for heading matching, obligation-language extraction, and token-based coverage. The paid product is proposal generation, not the check.
Does it use AI to judge my proposal?
No. Every check on this page is rule-based and reproducible: the same draft always produces the same score. That's deliberate — a score that changes between runs can't tell you whether your revision helped.
What happens to the text I paste?
The analysis runs on the text you paste and the report comes back in the same response. No account is created, and the analyzer itself does not call an AI model. See the Privacy Policy for how Gixo handles request and service data.
Which proposal types does it understand?
21 types, each with its own expected-section model and target length: sales, RFP response, enterprise, quote/estimate, renewal, expansion, winback, consulting, project, retainer, staffing, partnership, joint venture, sponsorship, internal business case, grant, investment, government, research, creative, and technology implementation.
Can it analyze the RFP alone, before I write anything?
Yes — paste just the RFP and it extracts the requirement statements and obligation language. That gives you the compliance skeleton to write against, which is exactly how strong RFP responses start.
What is a proposal analyzer?
A proposal analyzer is a deterministic tool that scores a proposal draft's submission readiness on a 0–100 scale by checking section coverage against a proposal-type template (21 types supported), measuring how much of the source RFP's extracted requirements the draft addresses, and running a fixed 9-point readiness checklist covering things like pricing sections, signature blocks, and leftover placeholders. It's rule-based, not AI judgment, so re-running the same draft always produces the same score.
How is a proposal analyzer different from an AI proposal writer?
The analyzer only scores and diagnoses an existing draft — section coverage, RFP requirement coverage, and a 9-point checklist — it doesn't write or rewrite anything. Arc can draft proposal sections from your RFP and source files, then export the reviewed proposal to PDF, DOCX, or HTML.
What makes Gixo's free proposal analyzer useful for repeat reviews?
It is free with no account or usage cap, and it runs fixed, reproducible checks: section coverage against 21 proposal-type templates, a 9-point readiness checklist, and — when you paste the RFP — coverage of up to 60 extracted requirement statements. Because it is rule-based rather than AI judgment, the same draft always scores the same, making it useful as a repeatable pre-submission gate rather than a one-off AI opinion.
