Quality Score

AI-powered scoring to improve proposal quality before submission.

What is Proposal Quality Scoring?

Before submitting your proposal, VelociBid analyzes your responses and provides a quality score (0-100%) with actionable recommendations to improve your submission. This helps you catch issues early and increase win rates.

How to Use It

  1. Open your project
  2. Click the Insights button in the project header
  3. Click Run next to Quality Score (or use Refresh All to run all analyses)
  4. Wait 10-15 seconds for AI analysis
  5. Click the Details pill to open the full breakdown panel
  6. Review your score and recommendations
  7. Make improvements and re-analyze

What Gets Scored

Completeness (40%)

Percentage of questions answered. Flags unanswered questions and very short answers (<50 characters).

Tone Consistency (20%)

AI analyzes if your answers maintain a consistent, professional tone throughout. Flags mixing of casual/formal language or overly technical jargon.

Personalization (20%)

Checks if you mention the client's name and include industry-specific examples or context. Generic responses score lower.

Compliance (20% - Optional)

If you previously ran Gap Analysis, the compliance score is included. Otherwise, the other components are weighted more heavily.

Important Notes

AI Analysis Costs

Tone and personalization scoring uses AI (GPT-4o-mini). Each analysis costs approximately $0.01-0.02. This is automatically included for Pro users.

Results Are Saved

Your quality score is saved to the database and persists across sessions. Re-running the analysis updates the score.

Use With Gap Analysis

For best results, run Gap Analysis first (to check requirements), then Quality Score (to check response quality) before final submission.
