Visit the live product03The proposed breakthrough
AI that reads the dossier.
And shows its work.
Move beyond notice-level matching. The new system is designed to produce a reliable bid/no-bid decision in minutes rather than days.
Read the whole dossier.
Layout-aware parsing turns notices, specifications, annexes and Q&A into a structured requirement schema in 20+ EU languages. Every item stays linked to its page.
A requirement you can trace.Ground every verdict.
Match each requirement against the company’s evidence. Cite the source behind the decision. When the evidence is insufficient, answer “unknown” instead of guessing.
A decision you can inspect.Add procurement context.
Resolve buyers and suppliers across TED and national award data. See who won comparable contracts and at what price through a procurement knowledge graph.
A market you can understand.Qualification example
Follow the evidence.
