What it catches before close.

Every catch is tied to the document and page that proves it—so the estimator can verify it, price it, and approve the move.

Train the approvals. Then let them run.

During training, nothing leaves without a recorded human approval. It learns those decisions, then automates what you already approved. L5 Autonomous is next.

How control is enforced

01
Read-only until you say otherwise
Intake and document review never touch the outside world. They read, structure, and cite.
02
Approved first, then automated
During training, every send cites a recorded human approval. Once a pattern is approved, ArosBid can run it again. L5 Autonomous is next.
03
Money is computed, not predicted
Extensions, sums, reconciliations, and allowances run as deterministic integer-cent code.
04
You submit
The last stage hands you a checked package. Pressing send stays a human act.

Every loss makes the next bid smarter.

Closed pursuits feed four places at once—so bid history becomes the context for the next decision.

Cost library
Closed bids update the library the next pursuit prices against.
Bid-to-win gap
How far off the winner you were, across comparable pursuits.
GC scorecard
Who invites often, who awards selectively, and what that is worth.
Vendor history
Coverage, responsiveness, and the fine print that cost you last time.
