When to run this playbook
Basis of Estimate Playbook is for teams that need a repeatable way to move from source documents and government data into a reviewable deliverable.
Run the playbook when the work is high-value, deadline-driven, compliance-sensitive, or likely to be reviewed by executives, contracting officers, evaluators, auditors, or delivery teams.
Inputs GovSignals can use
GovSignals can use solicitation documents, amendments, award history, budgets, agency signals, past performance, templates, and internal knowledge.
The value comes from tying every recommendation and draft artifact back to its source. That gives teams a way to move quickly while still reviewing evidence and keeping the record clean.
Outputs your team can review
Each playbook should produce structured artifacts that can be edited, exported, assigned, and defended.
The output should not be a generic AI answer. It should be a work product your team recognizes: a matrix, memo, outline, review packet, BOE, clause inventory, evaluation aid, or monitoring plan.
