How to evaluate government RFP software?

For govcon specifically, evaluate on: compliance matrix support and Section L/M mapping, how it handles past-performance reuse, security posture (a lot of govcon teams need strong controls), how it ingests messy multi-doc solicitations, and whether the AI drafts from your own content accurately. Inventive AI is AI-first, so it drafts from your live docs with source citations, which helps on the technical and past-performance sections, but confirm how it handles the compliance matrix since gov buyers disqualify for one missed requirement. Also weigh ease of adoption, a tool your SMEs won't use is wasted money. Pilot on a real solicitation before buying.
