Opportunity Analysis

Overview

Procura's opportunity analysis is a sophisticated AI-powered system that evaluates how well government contracting opportunities align with your company's capabilities. When you first upload a capabilities statement, we back-analyze every active opportunity – this deep pass can take several hours to finish. Unlike traditional keyword-based systems, our analysis engine reads and understands opportunities the way a human business development professional would.

How Analysis Works

Automatic Analysis

When Procura discovers new opportunities from SAM.gov, they are automatically analyzed against your current capabilities statement. This ensures you never miss a relevant opportunity. (Support for SBIR/STTR, Grants.gov, and other sources coming soon!)

What Gets Analyzed

Our analysis engine examines every aspect of an opportunity:

1. Opportunity Documentation

• Primary Description: The main opportunity description from SAM.gov
• Statements of Work: Detailed requirements and deliverables
• Technical Specifications: Specific technical requirements, standards, and methodologies
• Evaluation Criteria: How proposals will be scored and what factors matter most

2. Requirements Analysis

• Technical Requirements: Software, hardware, methodologies, and technical domains
• Experience Requirements: Past performance criteria and similar project experience
• Certification Requirements: Security clearances, compliance certifications (CMMC, FedRAMP, etc.)
• Personnel Requirements: Key personnel qualifications and team composition needs

3. Contextual Understanding

Our AI understands relationships and context, not just keywords. For example:

• If an opportunity requires "cloud migration experience" and your capabilities mention "successfully migrated legacy systems to AWS," we recognize this as an alignment
• If an opportunity needs "agile development" and you mention "Scrum methodology," we understand the connection

Understanding Your Results

Fit Scores

Each opportunity receives a fit score indicating alignment with your capabilities:

• Exceptional Fit (Score 3): The opportunity aligns perfectly with your core strengths and past performance
• Good Fit (Score 2): You can likely meet most requirements with strong alignment in key areas
• Slight Fit (Score 1): Some overlap exists but there are significant gaps
• Not a Fit (Score 0): Major misalignment or missing critical requirements

Analysis Summaries

For each analyzed opportunity, you'll receive:

1. Fit Score: Quick visual indicator of alignment
2. Summary Explanation: Bullet points explaining why the opportunity is or isn't a good fit
3. Key Alignments: Specific areas where your capabilities align with requirements
4. Identified Gaps: Any requirements you may not meet

Best Practices

Keep Your Capabilities Current

The quality of analysis depends on having an accurate, detailed capabilities statement. Update it when you:

• Complete significant projects
• Obtain new certifications
• Add new service offerings
• Hire key personnel with specialized expertise

Review Low-Scoring Opportunities

Sometimes opportunities with lower fit scores may still be worth pursuing if:

• You're looking to expand into new areas
• You can partner with other companies to fill gaps
• The opportunity aligns with your strategic growth plans

Use Analysis for Strategic Planning

Analysis results can help you:

• Identify patterns in opportunities you're missing
• Plan capability development to access new markets
• Make informed decisions about certifications or clearances to pursue

• Procura: Automatically analyzes everything — just check your dashboard for scored opportunities

The Procura Advantage

Zero Setup Complexity

• No keyword lists to maintain
• No search filters to configure
• No NAICS code gymnastics
• Just write your capabilities statement once

Complete Document Understanding

• We read the attachments others ignore
• SOWs, technical specs, evaluation criteria — all analyzed
• You get the full picture, not just title matching

Clear, Actionable Results

• Simple 0-3 fit scores you can understand at a glance
• Plain English explanations of why opportunities fit (or don't)
• No more guessing if an opportunity is worth pursuing

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does analysis take?
Analysis begins immediately but may take several hours to process all active opportunities. You can continue using the platform while analysis runs in the background.

Can I re-analyze specific opportunities?
Currently, analysis runs on all active opportunities. Individual opportunity re-analysis will be added in future updates.

Are past analyses saved?
Yes, previous analysis results remain available for reference even after updating your capabilities statement.

How far back does the analysis look for opportunities?
Analysis covers all currently active opportunities in our system. Closed or expired opportunities are not re-analyzed.
