Shredder Early Access: Extract What Matters from Any RFP in Seconds

SMB Growth3 min read

The Problem Every Proposal Manager Knows

You receive a new solicitation. It is 140 pages. The closing date is in three weeks. Before your team can write a single word of the proposal, someone needs to sit down and answer three questions:

  1. What are we being scored on? โ€” The rated evaluation criteria, their point values, and the minimum thresholds your response must meet.
  2. What does the pricing structure look like? โ€” The milestone payment schedule, basis of payment, and whether this is firm price, time-and-materials, or something else.
  3. What is the scope of work? โ€” Every deliverable at line-item granularity, with due dates and dependencies.

These three questions determine your bid/no-bid decision. They determine how you allocate proposal resources. They determine whether you price aggressively or conservatively. And answering them manually takes a proposal coordinator two to four hours per solicitation โ€” hours spent tabulating data from dense government documents before the real proposal work even begins.

What Shredder Does

Shredder is Tendriv's RFP extraction engine. You upload a Government of Canada solicitation PDF, and Shredder reads every page, identifies the evaluation framework, and returns structured data you can act on immediately.

In the Early Access release, Shredder extracts three categories of information:

Evaluation Criteria โ€” Every rated technical criterion with its point value, scoring guide, and minimum threshold. This is the first thing a proposal manager needs: the exact rubric your response will be scored against.

Pricing Structure โ€” The complete milestone payment schedule with due dates, payment percentages, and basis of payment. This enables immediate pricing model construction without manually cross-referencing multiple annexes.

Scope Summary โ€” All deliverables at line-item granularity with their descriptions, due dates, and dependencies. This feeds your proposal outline and writer assignments from day one.

A single extraction saves two to four hours of manual tabulation. For a team handling three to four RFPs per month, that is eight to sixteen hours recovered โ€” time your team can spend writing winning responses instead of reading requirements.

Who This Is For

Shredder is built for the sell side of the RFx transaction: proposal managers, capture leads, and BD teams responding to Government of Canada solicitations. Whether you are a prime contractor managing a compliance team or a growing SMB where one person handles business development and proposal writing, Shredder gives you the structured bid intelligence you need to make faster, better-informed decisions.
