What it does

Every RFP has requirements that are ambiguous, internally contradictory, or missing a measurable bar. This workflow finds them, drafts a sharp clarification question for each, and assembles a ready-to-send Q&A email. It distinguishes genuine ambiguities worth asking about from minor wording so you submit a focused question list, not noise, before the agency's Q&A cutoff.

When to use it

Use this in the days after an RFP drops, while the official question window is open. It ensures you surface every clarification that could change your bid strategy or pricing rather than discovering the ambiguity mid-draft.

How it works

  1. 1A new RFP file in the watched Dropbox folder triggers the run.
  2. 2OpenAI extracts requirements and flags those that are ambiguous, conflicting, or unmeasurable.
  3. 3A logic step keeps only items meeting the ambiguity bar.
  4. 4OpenAI drafts a precise clarification question for each kept item.
  5. 5The questions are packaged into a formatted Outlook email addressed to the contracting officer.
  6. 6A Slack note confirms the draft is ready for review before sending.
