Cost of Money + Risk-Adjusted Pricing in one Excel decision engine
$79.00
An Excel-based GovCon pricing and bid decision engine that accounts for cost of money, lead-time cash exposure, and risk-adjusted margin—so you can confidently bid, price higher, or walk away.
Most vendors don’t lose because they can’t win bids.
They lose because they win the wrong bids—too early—then fund performance out of pocket for months.
