Handle more pursuits, without taking engineers off billable work.
Stepscale finds and routes the right opportunities, assembles the right experience, and cuts the repetitive work.
The work you do
Engineering BD is high-volume, technical, and routed across disciplines.
Most firms process a steady stream of small and medium opportunities, on tight deadlines, with the same people who do the work.
High throughput
Dozens of proposals a month, not a few a quarter. The bottleneck is throughput, not demand.
Routed by discipline
Work spans every discipline, office, and region. Each one has to reach the right lead.
Won on accuracy
Methodology, requirements, rates, and scope are scored. A wrong number costs more than weak prose.
Estimation is judgment
Hours, fees, and scope are the engineers’ call. Software can inform it, not make it.
Where the time goes
The pursuit runs on your most billable people.
Scouting is a grind
Ten-plus portals and a hundred keywords, hours a day. Most of it irrelevant, and good work still slips through a bad title.
Volume outpaces capacity
Opportunities arrive faster than a small team can review them. The backlog lands on people already swamped.
Engineers write, not engineer
Senior staff can spend twelve to sixteen hours on one large proposal, much of it repetitive.
Knowledge is jerry-rigged
Project sheets, resumes, and rate sheets live in scattered files. Finding the right one is the slowest part of drafting.
AI you cannot trust
General AI invents numbers and claims. Every line needs checking before it ships.
Information in fragments
Screenshots, emails, spreadsheets, CRMs, SharePoint. No single flow from discovery to draft.
How Stepscale helps
One flow, from scouting to a verified draft.
From the first opportunity to a verified, submission-ready draft.
Scout every portal
One ranked feed from the sources you track, matched to your disciplines and regions, not just keywords.
Extract the requirements
Mandatory requirements, rated criteria, and deadlines pulled from the RFP, so nothing scorable is missed.
Route the go or no-go
Send each one to the right lead with the capacity, logistics, and margin context the call turns on.
Retrieve the evidence
Project sheets, resumes, rate sheets, and past assignments, surfaced for the scope and kept current.
Draft in your voice
Methodology and experience drafted from your approved language and real projects.
Verify before it ships
Citations on every claim and flags for missing info, so accuracy is checked, not assumed.
Built on trust
Confidence, built in.
Stepscale gives your team the evidence to estimate sharply, and keeps your work private.
Estimate from real evidence
Stepscale surfaces the requirements and comparable past projects behind each pursuit, so your engineers build a sharper, better-supported estimate, faster.
Your data stays private
Your projects, calculations, and client files are yours. Nothing is used to train public models, and everything is protected with enterprise-grade security.
