Frequently Asked Questions
What is a compliance matrix?
A compliance matrix (also called a requirements traceability matrix) maps every requirement in an RFP to a specific section of your proposal. It proves to evaluators that you've addressed every requirement and makes verification straightforward during review. Many government solicitations require one.
What compliance statuses should I use?
Compliant means your proposal fully meets the requirement. Partial means you meet some but not all aspects. Exception means you're proposing an alternative approach. Not Addressed flags requirements you haven't responded to yet — these are the gaps you need to close before submission.
How do I find requirements in an RFP?
Look for mandatory language: “shall,” “must,” “will,” “required,” and “mandatory.” Check the Statement of Work, evaluation criteria, and instructions to offerors. Don't overlook administrative requirements like page limits, formatting rules, and required certifications.
Should I include a compliance matrix even if it's not required?
Yes. Even when the solicitation doesn't explicitly require one, a compliance matrix makes evaluators' jobs easier. It signals professionalism and thoroughness. Proposals that make evaluation easy tend to score higher.
Is my data stored or tracked?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server. When you export to CSV, the file is generated locally on your device.
