02  The Economic Problem
NX MIND

A Weak-Fit Pursuit Creates Two Losses.

WEAK-FIT PURSUIT — RESOURCES COMMITTED
Loss 01 — Direct pursuit cost
Capture
Pricing
Compli­ance
Partner­ing
Writing
Exec review
PROPOSAL CAPACITY
Loss 02 — Opportunity cost
Better-fit RFQs delayed
Capacity locked
Leadership attention consumed
Windows missed
The point

The cost is not finding the opportunity. It is committing to the wrong one.

Cost categories reflect typical pre-submission labor; the quantitative model appears on Slide 13 and Appendix A5. 02 / 18
03  Market & Why Now
NX MIND

A $183B Small-Business Market Still Relies on Fragmented Pursuit Judgment.

$183B

More procurement signals are structured and accessible.
Decision Fragmentation
Selection still depends on spreadsheets and intuition.
Explainable AI
Contractor context can now shape the recommendation.

08  Contractor-Specific Output
NX MIND

One RFQ. Three Rationally Different Decisions.

RFQ — VA HVAC Training · Maryland FICTIONAL — ILLUSTRATION ONLY
Contractor A PURSUE
  • Confirmed HVAC training capability
  • Maryland coverage · eligible set-aside
  • Prior VA award
  • Same PSC history
Contractor B RISKY / SKIP
  • Product match only
  • Required action not confirmed
  • Geography outside coverage
  • Market dominated by incumbents
Contractor C PARTNER REQUIRED
  • User lacks training capability
  • Registered partner covers HVAC training in Maryland
  • Partner has relevant agency history
The difference

Same notice. Different contractor. Different rational decision.
