VisibleThread Proposals Dashboard showing proposal value by stage, ownership and section status
Proposal management

15+ years in sensitive, high-stakes bids. Now with AI doing the jobs AI is actually good at.

A proposal has many moving parts and many people, and rarely does anyone see the whole picture. Who owns what. What's stuck. What's about to slip. Which bids are worth the effort.

Proposal Management gives you that picture across every bid, and the controls to act on it.

Know what your pipeline is worth, stage by stage

The dashboard rolls up proposal value by stage. See total value and how many bids sit at each stage, so leadership knows where revenue is and where it's stalling.

See who leads each bid, how many sections each person carries, how complete they are, and what's due next.

Won and lost bids move to the archive with their outcome and value, showing how your pipeline turns into wins.

Total proposal value and proposal count by stage

Built on your stages, in the view your team prefers

Initiated. In progress. Pink team. Red team. Gold team. Submitted. Or whatever your process looks like. Define your stages once and every proposal follows them.

Then pick the view that suits the moment.

Kanban board

Move proposals through stages and spot anything stalled in a column.

List view

Search, sort and scan every proposal by agency, due date, owner and stage. Export to CSV when needed.

Timeline view

See start dates and deadlines over time, and plan capacity before bids collide.

Ownership at a glance

Pricing, the technical volume and compliance review are often handled by different people at different times. Assign a lead to each proposal and an owner to each section, so everyone knows what's theirs.

Proposal management tracks
✓ Who owns what, across SMEs, writers, reviewers and contracts
✓ What's due, and when
✓ How complete each section is, from not started to done
✓ Where dependencies sit, so handoffs hold when someone's out

Bottlenecks surface before they become problems

Spot a section stuck in one stage for a week, not on submission day. Then act on it.

Export to Excel or CSV when leadership wants the numbers.

A complete record of who did what, and when

The activity log records every assignment, upload, edit, AI query and archive, with the person, the item and the time.

Search and filter it to answer "who touched this?" in seconds.

Connected to the full workflow

Shred, compliance matrix, outline, writing, readability and watchword checks all sit in one environment, with the same workspace permissions and the same audit trail. Visi, the AI assistant, answers questions about the report you have open, with citations.

The audit trail matters more than it sounds. In sensitive bids, you must prove how the work was done, who touched it, and that it's compliant.

Full transparency.
Full auditability.
By design.
The result

Smoother workflows. Less rework. Compliant bids delivered on time. Every time.
