StandPost01 / THE STARTING POINT

A small RFP. Several details to track.

Imagine your company is responding to a fictional request for unarmed security at Harbor Community Center.

Fictional RFP excerpt

Harbor Community Center

Section 2: Provide one unarmed officer, Monday-Friday, 6 p.m.-10 p.m.

Section 3: Describe incident reporting and escalation procedures.

Section 4: Include a current insurance certificate and two client references.

All names and requirements are invented for this example.

Before drafting, ask:

What must our response cover?

What evidence do we need?

Which company facts are still missing?

The point is a reviewable workflow, not a promise of winning the contract.

StandPost02 / REQUIREMENTS & GAPS

Turn the request into a review list.

StandPost's workflow includes requirements, source citations, and missing-information review. Here is an illustrative result for our sample.

RequirementSample sourceTeam action
Officer coverage scheduleRFP Section 2Confirm staffing availability
Incident reporting procedureRFP Section 3Supply approved procedure
Current insurance certificateRFP Section 4Missing - obtain certificate
Two client referencesRFP Section 4Missing - confirm permission
Missing evidence stays a question for your team. This example does not assert insurance coverage, reference permission, or staffing availability.
StandPost03 / DRAFT WITH HUMAN REVIEW

A starting draft. Not a finished promise.

Illustrative draft excerpt

Coverage and reporting

Our proposed coverage follows the requested Monday-Friday, 6 p.m.-10 p.m. schedule for one unarmed officer.

[Confirm staffing availability before making this commitment.]

Incident reporting will follow [insert your approved procedure and escalation contacts].

Sample grounding: fictional RFP Sections 2-3.
Company procedures and availability are not supplied.

Your team's review

Check each statement against the RFP and your actual company information.

Replace placeholders with approved facts. Resolve warnings and missing items.

Do not treat a source citation as proof that the whole response is accurate.

You remain responsible for every submission. StandPost does not guarantee compliance or a winning proposal.
StandPost04 / CHECK BEFORE HANDOFF

Know what still needs attention.

Illustrative review checklist

Reviewed: requested coverage recorded

Open: staffing availability confirmed

Open: reporting procedure supplied

Open: insurance certificate attached

Open: reference permission confirmed

Review, then export

StandPost offers PDF, DOCX, JSON, and CSV exports.

Choose the format appropriate to your team's next step, then check the exported document and the buyer's submission instructions.

An export is not a submission. Open items still require your team's attention.
