How we work
Need a brief, paper or independent draft review? Send the notice and your work email. We check fit and timing for free, then recommend the deliverable, fixed fee and delivery date. Your engineers approve the technical facts.
Email first. No meeting or payment obligation.
Thesis Federal / Submission
A complete solution brief, white paper or partner contribution, prepared for your approval. A partner package can include the agreed introduction, contribution and supporting evidence, ready for you to send.
Send your existing material, answer one consolidated question list and nominate a technical reviewer. We agree the input, draft, review and final dates before work begins.
See writing deliverables and examples.
Free fit and timing check included. You can go straight to a writing scope; a paid planning package is not required. The scope and fee come before your approval.
Government filing or partner contact is included only when expressly scoped and authorized. Your team approves architecture, performance claims, pricing and certifications.
Full Response · For lead providers
When several technical teams and partners must contribute to one response, Thesis manages the agreed writing, evidence collection and review process. You receive the named response documents and a clear final handoff.
Send the notice, existing material and proposed team structure. We confirm the remaining work, contributor availability, delivery capacity and feasible dates before supplying a fixed scope and fee.
A component supplier can buy only its contribution. Focused writing and independent draft review remain available.
The agreement sets contributor limits, client inputs, review rounds, milestones and delivery protection. Your team approves engineering, performance claims and pricing, and remains the submitter unless separately authorized.
If you need support across later stages, we scope each additional phase, account for overlapping work and agree its activation separately. Advancement never starts a paid phase automatically.
Prefer to write it yourselves?
A detailed plan your team can use to write: the direct or partner route, a requirements-to-evidence map, a defined contribution and agreed clarification questions.
Includes two consolidated revisions. Normally delivered within seven business days after the agreed inputs and start conditions are met. Drafting the submission is outside this smaller scope.
See the review process, inputs and deliverables.
Already have a draft? Get an independent check against the named notice, amendments and FAQs, with a marked compliance matrix, unsupported or conflicting claims identified in the supplied material, and the five priority fixes.
Each review is scoped individually, with a fixed fee based on length, complexity and required turnaround. Normally two business days after the complete agreed input package arrives. The quote sets the page limit, appendices, source versions and clarification round. Rewriting is separately scoped.
Federal Desk
For teams that want help finding relevant opportunities and moving selected pursuits forward. Start with an agreed 30-day workplan and a fixed monthly fee.
Submission writing is included only when a named document appears in the workplan. Other writing is separately scoped; the same work is never billed twice.
Only need monitoring? We can quote a narrower Opportunity Watch covering agreed sources, screening criteria and a stated checking cadence, with a written no-fit report when nothing qualifies.
Active-phase support
Pitch preparation, responses to reviewer questions or a defined RFP workstream, under a named monthly workplan.
If the government invites you forward, we confirm the actual requirements and dates. You activate the next phase by email before we invoice or start it.
Commercial terms
New Submission engagements default to 50% paid before work starts and 50% on acceptance. If we miss the agreed final delivery deadline through our fault, the balance is waived. The same applies if a material agreed requirement remains unmet through our fault at that deadline.
The agreement identifies the deliverable, source versions, required sections, page and source-material limits, file formats, input dates and review dates. Acceptance occurs when you approve the final deliverable, submit or use it externally for its agreed purpose, or when the agreed review window closes without a written notice identifying a material unmet requirement. That window is normally two business days, adjusted in advance for urgent work. The accepted balance is invoiced on seven-calendar-day terms. A deadline waiver already earned still applies.
Client delays and material amendments require a written revised schedule or scope. Missing client evidence is identified openly. Existing engagements retain their agreed terms; any different milestones are stated in the new agreement.
If a published government answer closes the agreed route before package delivery, you pay only for documented work completed, capped at the initial payment specified in your scope. Unearned prepayments are refunded within ten business days.
Submission includes one additional consolidated rework round for reviewer changes received within ten business days of delivery, within the original scope. A new architecture, route or material requirement is separately scoped. Rework must fit the actual government deadline.
Your offer includes the complete scope and agreement, with the fee, dates, inputs, limits and payment conditions. An authorized representative can reply “Approved” to accept those identified terms electronically. We issue the invoice on the day you approve. Work starts once the initial payment and required inputs arrive, unless the agreement expressly states different start conditions.
Federal Desk and active-phase support use an agreed workplan for each period. Monthly fees are prepaid. Future phases require affirmative approval; an invitation does not trigger a charge. The Submission balance waiver applies to Submission engagements, not automatically to every monthly service.
You approve material before submission. Partner acceptance, selection and award are not guaranteed. Research and drafting do not give us authority to bind your company or make government representations on your behalf.
Choose the work you need
Request writing, a draft review or a focused route plan. We include a free fit and timing check, then recommend the work, fixed fee and delivery date when the inputs support a quote.
If one essential detail is missing, we ask for that detail. You receive the actual scope and agreement before deciding. Work starts only after the agreed approval, payment and input conditions are met.
You can request route planning or review while keeping the writing in house. Ongoing support is optional and separately agreed.
