What does the outline include?

Each section has a number, title, target page count, and 2–4 bullet questions the writer must answer. The structure mirrors what a federal or commercial evaluator expects to see in the same order as the RFP's instructions to offerors.

How long can my pasted RFP be?

Up to 12,000 characters of RFP text. For longer RFPs, paste the Sections L (instructions) and M (evaluation) only — that's all the AI needs to build the outline.

Will it match my page limit?

Yes. Enter your total page limit and the AI allocates pages across sections proportionally to evaluation weight. Inside OptiRFP, the full editor enforces the limit at write time.

Why it matters

A wrong outline guarantees a low evaluator score. Federal evaluators score in the order Section L asks them to — if your structure doesn't match, they spend their reading time looking for your answers instead of scoring them.

This generator builds an outline that mirrors the RFP's instructions and weights pages to evaluation criteria. Inside OptiRFP, the full editor uses the same outline to draft each section with your knowledge base — citation-grade, in minutes.
