Runs a 30-item capture readiness audit on a single federal pursuit and produces two deliverables in one invocation: a filled checklist scored Green / Yellow / Red / N/A with one-line evidence per item, and a ranked gaps report with severity, recommended action, owner, days-to-close, a weighted readiness score, and a recommended next gate. Triggers on phrases like "capture readiness", "pursuit audit", "gaps report", "capture checklist", "30-item assessment", "GovCon capture", "federal capture readiness", "bid readiness", "capture maturity". Built for solo BD owners and capture leads at small primes who need a defensible capture plan in 30 minutes instead of a half-day self-audit. Handles pursuit-type pivots (new / recompete / sole-source), pursuit-stage pivots (early / mid / late), and vendor-size pivots (solo / small / mid / large). Feeds the bid/no-bid decision; does not replace it.

A redacted example of what this tool produces — so you can judge the quality before you buy.
Redacted, illustrative example. Names, agencies, and figures are fictional placeholders.
This is a trimmed illustration of the two artifacts the skill produces in one pass: the filled 30-item checklist and the ranked gaps report. A representative slice of the 30 items is shown (full output scores all 30). Pursuit type here is recompete, stage mid, vendor size small.
