Price the way this buyer awards.

A fire truck bid. A hundred and twenty pages. A performance bond, insurance limits and a mandatory site visit, buried in the middle. BotBid reads the fine print first, and tells you if it's worth bidding before you spend a week on it.

Questions about Advisor and pricing

Does the AI set our price?

No. Pricing research is deterministic and prices are removed from every AI request. People with the price right approve every price.

Where does award history come from?

From published awards and bid tabulations in BotBid’s shared awards catalog, plus your own results.

Can we keep prices from part of the team?

Yes. Price visibility follows a named right. People without it see the buyer’s style but no numbers.

What if there is no history for a buyer?

The Advisor says so. It never invents a range.
