Questions from AEC firms

Before you bring Stepscale into an RFP workflow.

Straight answers about where Stepscale fits, what it handles, and what stays with your team.

What should an AEC firm look for in RFP response software?

RFP response software for AEC firms should support the full pursuit workflow, not only text generation. Look for relevant opportunity discovery, go/no-go evaluation, reuse of your firm's project and staff experience, collaborative drafting, requirements tracking, and pre-submission review.

Does Stepscale support public-sector RFPs, RFQs, and tenders?

Yes. Stepscale supports public- and private-sector response workflows for RFPs, RFQs, SOQs, RFSOs, EOIs, RFIs, IFBs, and tenders. The exact process varies by procurement, but the platform keeps the solicitation, requirements, firm knowledge, and working response together.

Does Stepscale find RFP opportunities or only help write responses?

Stepscale does both. It monitors procurement sources across Canada, matches new opportunities against your firm's services, sectors, and past work, and carries the selected opportunity into evaluation, drafting, and pre-submission review.

Explore RFP opportunity search

How does Stepscale support go/no-go decisions?

Stepscale extracts requirements and organizes the factors your firm uses to qualify an opportunity, including fit, relevant experience, delivery requirements, and capacity. Your team keeps the final go/no-go decision; Stepscale makes the evidence easier to review.

Explore RFP evaluation software

Can Stepscale use our past proposals, project sheets, and resumes?

Yes. Stepscale makes past proposals, project sheets, resumes, and other firm knowledge searchable, then surfaces relevant content for a response. Drafts stay grounded in your firm's experience and are reviewed by your team before submission.

Explore the RFP content library

Does Stepscale replace proposal coordinators or firm principals?

No. Stepscale takes repetitive work off proposal coordinators, business development teams, technical staff, and principals, including portal checking, requirement extraction, content search, first-draft preparation, and compliance checks. Your people still own pursuit strategy, technical judgment, approvals, and the final submission.

How does Stepscale protect proposal data, and is it used to train AI models?

No. Stepscale's privacy policy states that customer data is not used to train or improve Stepscale's AI models, and that third-party model providers do not use submitted information to train their models. Additional controls and security documentation are available in Stepscale's Trust Centre.

Why use AEC-specific RFP software instead of a general-purpose AI writing tool?

A general-purpose AI tool can help with an isolated writing task, but it does not carry your complete pursuit workflow by default. Stepscale connects the live solicitation, requirements, firm knowledge, evaluation context, draft, and review in one workspace built for AEC teams.
