Halyard Consulting today announced the upcoming public launch of RFP Adviser, an AI-powered platform designed to help organizations determine whether an opportunity is worth pursuing before investing substantial time and resources into proposal development.
RFP Adviser will launch publicly on Product Hunt on June 16, 2026.
While many proposal technologies focus on helping teams write proposals faster, RFP Adviser addresses an earlier and often more consequential business question:
Should the organization pursue the opportunity at all?
Organizations responding to RFPs, RFQs, grants, bids, and procurement opportunities routinely spend dozens or even hundreds of hours evaluating requirements, assessing risks, determining eligibility, coordinating stakeholders, and preparing submissions. RFP Adviser was developed to help teams make those pursuit decisions with greater confidence before proposal work begins.
"Many organizations spend significant time and money pursuing opportunities that ultimately were never a strong fit," said Jonathan Goodman, Founder and CEO of Halyard Consulting. "We built RFP Adviser to help teams evaluate opportunity fit, identify risks, and make more informed pursuit decisions before committing proposal resources."
The platform analyzes opportunity documents and produces structured assessments designed to help organizations understand:
- Opportunity alignment
- Key requirements
- Potential risks
- Missing information
- Evaluation considerations
- Recommended next steps
The goal is not to replace human judgment, but to provide decision-makers with a faster, more structured way to evaluate opportunities before initiating a full proposal effort.
The platform has undergone extensive testing with business leaders, consultants, procurement professionals, and proposal teams.
One beta participant described the platform as:
"It was very accurate to the real-life situation and outcomes."
Another noted:
"I like the recommendations and the summaries of what to do next."
Earlier this year, RFP Adviser was recognized as a winner in the AWS VentureForward startup competition, helping validate the platform's approach to AI-assisted business decision support.
