Reading the VETR Score™

The VETR Score is a four-pillar Win Probability calculated on every uploaded RFP. The composite is useful at a glance; the pillar breakdown is what you actually act on.

The composite

A 0–100 number. Treat it like a stoplight:

  • 80+ — Strong fit. Bid unless capacity is the constraint.
  • 60–79 — Conditional. Pursue if you can close the gaps; pass if you can't.
  • 40–59 — Stretch. Only pursue for strategic reasons (relationship, set-aside protected niche, etc.).
  • Below 40 — No-bid unless something is truly exceptional.

The four pillars

V — Value Alignment

Does your firm do this kind of work? Cross-references RFP requirements against your NAICS, capability statement, and certifications. Low V = stretch capability.

E — Experience Density

How relevant is your past performance? Pulls past-performance entries that share NAICS, agency, or technical-domain markers. Low E = need teaming partners with stronger past perf.

T — Teaming Strength

How ready is your partner roster? Compares your existing partners against the RFP's gap areas. Low T = teaming will require new outreach.

R — Responsiveness Capacity

Can you actually submit on time? Considers deadline + section count + page limits + your team's other proposal load. Low R = bandwidth risk.

The AI commentary layer

Below the pillars, an AI-generated 3–5 bullet point commentary explains why each pillar scored where it did and what the highest-leverage actions are. This is the part you should read carefully — the model can be wrong, but it usually surfaces the right decision points.

How to act on the breakdown

  • High V, low E: Bring on a teaming partner with relevant past performance.
  • High E, low V: Decide whether the capability stretch is acceptable or pass.
  • High V + E, low T: Strong solo bid; consider whether teaming adds risk or value.
  • Strong V/E/T, low R: Capacity problem — defer another opportunity to protect this one.

Re-scoring

The score recomputes automatically when you update your past-performance library, add NAICS, or update partners. You can also manually re-score from the RFP detail page.
