Turn Old SOWs Into New Proposals Before Your Next RFP Deadline

Consulting firms lose partner hours to work that isn't billable: rebuilding a proposal from scratch because the last one lives in someone's Google Drive, turning three weeks of interview transcripts into a client-ready deck the night before a steering committee, or chasing associates for timesheets so utilization numbers are right for the Monday partner meeting. A Build Pod embeds with your existing stack — Jira, Harvest, QuickBooks, your case-study archive — and ships working tools for exactly those gaps, not a generic AI chatbot bolted onto your intranet.

What we build for Consulting Firms

  • Auto-draft RFP responses from your case-study library

    Pull relevant past engagements and boilerplate sections into a first-pass proposal draft the moment an RFP lands, so the partner edits instead of starting from a blank doc.

  • Turn interview transcripts into board-ready decks

    Feed raw discovery-call and stakeholder-interview transcripts in and get a structured slide draft — findings, recommendations, appendix — back in your firm's own deck template.

  • Pull Jira, Harvest, and QuickBooks into one margin view

    Reconcile logged hours, billed hours, and project costs across tools automatically so partners see real-time utilization and margin by engagement, not a stale month-end spreadsheet.

How a Build Pod fits

Your Build Pod starts with the two or three tools eating the most partner time — usually proposal drafting and margin visibility — and ships a working version wired into your existing stack within the first sprint. No new system to adopt: outputs land in the deck template, CRM, or dashboard your team already opens every day.

From there the pod keeps building against your actual pipeline: more of the case-study library gets indexed, more transcript types get templates, and the margin dashboard picks up whatever billing quirks your firm runs — blended rates, contingency work, retainers. You're not buying a project, you're keeping engineers who already know your engagements.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Build Pod handle confidential client data from our engagements?
Everything stays inside your environment or a client-approved sandbox — transcripts, case studies, and financials are never used to train external models, and access follows the same permissions your associates already have.
Can it integrate with the tools we already use — Jira, Harvest, QuickBooks, or Salesforce?
Yes, integration with your existing stack is the starting point, not an add-on; we build against whatever combination of project, time-tracking, and accounting tools your firm runs today.
How fast do partners actually see something working?
The first working tool — usually the proposal drafter or the margin dashboard — ships within the first sprint, then the pod keeps extending it against real engagements instead of a static spec.
