# Match a product and review gaps

> Lock one product, let Orbid AI match against the tender, and review deviations before fill or go/no-go.

# 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

```text theme={null}
Match our <MODEL> to this tender. Show gaps and deviations I should review.
```

```text theme={null}
用我们的 <型号> 匹配这份标书，列出偏差和缺口。
```

```text theme={null}
Summarize deviations after the match. Which ones look like hard limits?
```

```text theme={null}
We need a different model—search the catalog for <category>, then rematch.
```

## 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](/concepts/formal-vs-rank-match).

## 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.
