FEDCON P.R.I.S.M

Proposal Readiness & Integration Scoring Matrix

P.R.I.S.M is a powerful diagnostic tool developed by FEDCON-certified APMP and Shipley advisors.

 

It applies the Shipley 96-Step Business Development Lifecycle to analyze a proposal’s complexity before you invest time and money.

 

PRISM uncovers capture, compliance, teaming, content, and customer intel gaps—so you can plan smarter, bid stronger, and avoid wasted effort.

Why PRISM?

Many businesses jump into proposals without knowing how demanding they’ll be. PRISM removes uncertainty. You’ll immediately know:

 

  • How ready your proposal really is
  • Whether you have the assets to win
  • How complex teaming or compliance will be
  • Where your gaps are—and how to fill them fast
How It Works

Our Scoring Process

Every PRISM submission is reviewed by FEDCON-certified advisors using a proven scoring framework grounded in the Shipley 96-Step Business Development Lifecycle.

We assess your opportunity across multiple categories to understand its complexity and resource requirements:

Capture Positioning & Planning
Proposal Maturity & Assets
Teaming & Compliance Complexity
Customer Intelligence & BD Activity
Volume, Format, and Submission Requirements


These factors are mapped against Shipley phases from Market Segmentation through Proposal Development, giving you a strategic picture of where you stand—and what comes next.
