Playbook

72-Hour Pre-Bid Risk Scan

A repeatable three-day workflow to ingest bid docs, identify risk clusters, and ship an estimator-ready risk brief before final pricing.

Decision Narrative

Why now

A repeatable three-day workflow to ingest bid docs, identify risk clusters, and ship an estimator-ready risk brief before final pricing.

What breaks without this

Teams without enough lead time to act on findings.

Decision framework

Your bids move quickly and addenda arrive late.

You need a fixed, repeatable pre-bid intelligence rhythm.

Estimating and operations teams must align before submission.

Recommended path

A repeatable three-day workflow to ingest bid docs, identify risk clusters, and ship an estimator-ready risk brief before final pricing.

Intake, risk scoring, and final review checkpoints are predefined.

Implementation sequence

Run baseline, controlled pilot, and scale phases with explicit owner checkpoints.

Tradeoffs

Organizations that only bid low-complexity repeat scopes.

Decision Criteria

  • Your bids move quickly and addenda arrive late.
  • You need a fixed, repeatable pre-bid intelligence rhythm.
  • Estimating and operations teams must align before submission.
  • Leadership wants risk decisions captured and reviewable.

Example Scenario

Before

Teams without enough lead time to act on findings.

After

Intake, risk scoring, and final review checkpoints are predefined.

Who This Is Not For

  • Teams without enough lead time to act on findings.
  • Organizations that only bid low-complexity repeat scopes.
  • Firms without a defined estimator and PM handoff process.

Proof Points

  • Day-by-day execution

    Intake, risk scoring, and final review checkpoints are predefined.

  • Cross-team alignment

    Estimators and PMs review one shared, source-linked risk brief.

  • Faster bid sign-off

    Decision-ready outputs reduce final-hour uncertainty.

Evidence Cards

FAQ

How many people are needed for this playbook?

Most teams run it with one estimator and one PM owner, plus optional executive review.

Can we adapt this to design-build jobs?

Yes. The same cadence works with adjusted risk categories for design responsibility.

What is the final deliverable?

A ranked risk register with source citations and ownership recommendations.
