How AlignIQ Works
Your alignment, scored and clear
Submit your company profile. COTR.ai's proprietary 3-layer scoring engine evaluates your structural fit against every opportunity in your pipeline — and delivers a bid/no-bid recommendation in 48 hours, not 6 weeks.
The AI Scoring Engine
Proprietary AI. One score. Clear decision.
AlignIQ doesn't keyword-match. Our AI engine evaluates structural alignment across multiple proprietary dimensions — each weighted by what actually wins contracts — to produce a composite 0–100 score that drives real bid/no-bid decisions.
●
Qualification Analysis
Our AI evaluates whether your organization structurally qualifies for each opportunity — catching the dealbreakers before you waste BD resources on pursuits you were never positioned to win.
●
Delivery Readiness
Can you actually deliver? Our AI scores your execution capacity against the opportunity's specific requirements — not generic benchmarks, but real-world readiness factors that evaluators weigh.
●
Friction & Risk Assessment
How hard will the path to award be? Our AI measures the invisible barriers — regulatory, procedural, and competitive — that most companies discover too late in the pursuit cycle.

Frequently Asked
Common questions
What defense tech companies want to know before getting started.
Who is AlignIQ built for?
▾
Defense tech startups (seed through Series B), commercial companies receiving inbound DoD interest, and defense investors evaluating whether portfolio companies are structurally positioned to win real programs. If you're spending BD resources on opportunities without knowing your structural fit, AlignIQ is built for you.
How is this different from a consultant?
▾
Consultants give opinions. AlignIQ gives scores. Our proprietary 3-layer engine evaluates structural alignment systematically across every opportunity in your pipeline — producing quantified, repeatable bid/no-bid decisions backed by data, not relationships. And it stays live — your dashboard updates continuously as the acquisition landscape changes.
What does AlignIQ's AI scoring actually evaluate?
▾
AlignIQ's proprietary AI engine evaluates your organization across multiple weighted dimensions — covering qualification factors, execution capacity, and pursuit complexity. The exact methodology and weightings are proprietary, but the composite produces a 0–100 alignment score with clear decision bands that tell you exactly where you stand on every opportunity.
What is the Bid War Room?
▾
The War Room simulates any pursuit before you write a word of proposal. It generates a predicted competitor field, head-to-head evaluation matrix, pWin probability simulation, decisive win themes, gaps to close, and a ranked counter-strategy playbook. Available in the Command tier.
How fast do I get results?
▾
Your initial alignment scoring and bid/no-bid recommendations are delivered within 48 hours of submitting your profile. Your live dashboard goes online shortly after, and stays current automatically as the federal landscape changes.
Can I try it before committing monthly?
