Comparison
ProposalFirewall vs RFP Extract
RFP Extract is a focused tool for turning RFP PDFs into a compliance matrix. ProposalFirewall does the same starting point and then keeps going through review, amendments, drafting, and export.
If you only need a one-shot PDF→matrix conversion, RFP Extract gets you there. ProposalFirewall covers the rest of the federal proposal lifecycle — Trust Gate validation, reviewer comments, amendment diffs, executive briefing, and a 0–100 Proposal Health Score — in the same workspace.

Pick ProposalFirewall if…
- •You want extraction plus the entire downstream workflow (Trust Gate, comments, Health Score, executive briefing) in one tool.
- •You need SAM.gov amendment alerts and version-aware diffing baked in.
- •You want a proposal library that learns from past wins and feeds drafting.
Common questions
- Is RFP Extract a good fit if I only need a one-time extraction?
- Yes. RFP Extract is purpose-built for the upload→matrix step and does that one job well. ProposalFirewall is better if you also need amendment tracking, reviewer collaboration, or a long-term proposal library you can search against.
- Does ProposalFirewall replace RFP Extract end-to-end?
- For federal pursuits, yes — PF performs the same PDF→requirement extraction plus the workflow that follows: Trust Gate validation, comments, Proposal Health Score, executive briefing, and amendment diff. Most teams consolidate into PF instead of stitching tools together.
- How are amendments handled differently?
- RFP Extract treats each upload as a fresh document. ProposalFirewall links amendments to the parent solicitation, generates a requirement-level diff, and alerts you when SAM.gov posts a new amendment to a linked opportunity.
