ROI calculator

Estimate the impact of faster, more controlled pursuits.

Use your proposal volume, contract value, win rate, and GovEagle assumptions to model how the platform could affect capacity and expected revenue.

Step 01

Describe the current pursuit motion.

Start with team size, proposal volume, effort, contract value, and win rate.

Step 02

Set the GovEagle assumptions.

Adjust time savings, win-rate lift, added capacity, and margin.

Step 03

Review the estimated benefit.

Use the result and benefit drivers to pressure-test the business case.

Step 01-02

Start with the team's current pursuit motion.

Complete the inputs first. The model keeps the original spreadsheet assumptions, but groups them around how GovCon teams usually think about proposal capacity, win rate, and contract economics.

Step 01

Team and proposal operations

Salary, benefits, and overhead.

RFPs, RFIs, task orders, and related responses.

From kickoff through submission.

Total contract value or annual ceiling.

Typical range is often 20-40%, depending on segment.

Step 02

GovEagle impact assumptions

Compliance matrices, outlines, content reuse, and first drafts.

Conservative 40%Average 60%High 70%

Use a conservative lift unless your baseline process is already measured.

Conservative 3%Average 5%High 8%

Freed capacity that can become more qualified submissions.

Conservative 5Average 12High 20

Net margin after delivery costs.

Conservative 10%Average 15%High 20%

Months before the team reaches full benefit.

Conservative 6Average 3High 1

Use the current commercial assumption or proposal amount.

Step 03

Review the estimated benefit.

Results update as inputs change. The model separates operational savings from revenue effects, so the team can pressure-test the assumptions instead of debating one blended number.
