Bid/no-bid decisions are easiest to defend when the math is on the table. Each factor is scored 0 to 10 against a real definition, and the contribution to the total PWin score equals (score / 10) × weight. The weights are calibrated to how senior capture practitioners actually call these decisions: customer relationship and past performance alignment carry the most, because they are the most reliable predictors of source-selection outcomes.
The score does not replace judgment. It surfaces the weak factors so the conversation in the capture review is about what would need to be true to close them, not whether to bid in the abstract.
Threshold: 45 of 100 separates bid from no-bid territory. Above 60 is a clean bid. Below 30 is a strong no-bid. The middle zone is where conditional bids live, and where most pursuit damage gets done if you do not write the conditions down.
A 30-minute fit call gets you a senior practitioner's read on your scoring.
Capture and proposal support from twenty-plus years of federal BD, Shipley-aligned process, and PITL discipline. No obligation, no pitch deck.
