Match a product and review gaps

Matching locks one product model and compares its specs to tender requirements, producing meets, partials, gaps, and deviations. You review hard limits and bid strategy; Orbid does not decide whether to bid or submit. You want a clear view of how one product meets the tender—meets, partials, gaps, deviations. You provide scanned (or uploaded) tender + a locked product model. Browse catalog first if needed.

What to say

What Orbid does

  1. Compares product specs to tender requirements (formal match after lock)
  2. Surfaces deviations / gap-style outcomes
  3. May start Excel fill when the pipeline allows—check downloads before asking again
Not the same as a quick shortlist (“rank”). Ranking is not compliance—see Formal vs rank.

What you review

  • Hard limits vs preferred
  • Missing catalog data (fix specs, then rematch)
  • Whether to switch product, no-bid, or continue to fill/deliverables
You own bid strategy and sign-off—not the agent.
