Use case

Build this RFP review workflow.Start proposal kickoff from a clearer source-backed workspace.

See the source-backed workflow, example output, checks, and human-review notes.Use SourceFlag to prepare source-backed kickoff inputs from public solicitation packages before drafting starts.

Who this helps

Kickoff is smoother when the team can see requirements, deadlines, flags, and open questions before the meeting.

What problem this use case solves

Kickoff meetings often begin with incomplete notes, unclear ownership, and no shared view of source-backed review items.

How SourceFlag helps

Creates a first-pass summary, matrix-style rows, deadlines, and flags.
Keeps source references close to kickoff items.
Supports assignment and review handoff for Team workflows.
Helps the team move into drafting with less disconnected prep work.

When to use this workflow

Use when kickoff needs cited requirements, deadlines, review flags, owners, and drafting context before the meeting.
Use after bid/no-bid when the team needs to turn source review into assignments and next actions.
Use when unresolved flags and question candidates should be visible before drafting starts.

What to verify before relying on output

Confirm required volumes, deadlines, attachments, certifications, owners, and review statuses before kickoff.
Review unresolved flags and decide whether each needs a clarifying question, owner action, or no action.
Treat export handoff as working context, not final proposal approval.
Keep restricted, controlled, non-public, private capture, pricing strategy, regulated personal, or sensitive teaming/customer material out of the workspace.
