01 / THE SALES PROBLEM
You’ve found the project.
Now comes the hard part.
Imagine you run an industrial cooling company. You spot an announcement about a semiconductor facility in Gujarat.
It sounds promising. But an announcement doesn’t tell your sales team where to spend its time.
01
Will this facility need the kind of cooling we supply?
02
Is the buying decision approaching—or already behind us?
03
Who should we speak to, and what should we confirm?
04
Is there enough evidence to make this worth pursuing?
BeforeRFQ connects the project milestone, the possible buying need, and your supplier profile—so the next step is clearer.
02 / FOLLOW ONE OPPORTUNITY
A fab in Gujarat.
A cooling supplier.
A reason to take a closer look.
Follow the path from a source bulletin to a focused sales decision. Each step answers a different question.
Fictional company and project · Product walkthroughTHE QUESTION YOUR SALESPERSON IS ASKING
“What happened, and can I check it?”
A milestone changes the picture.
A source bulletin says Example Fab One has appointed an EPC contractor. For a cooling supplier, that is a project worth investigating—not yet a confirmed order.

“There’s a new factory” becomes a project to investigate with a product angle, a timing hypothesis, and evidence to read.

04 / CONFIDENCE WITHOUT FALSE CERTAINTY
You should be able to ask
“Why do you think so?”
The answer should be inspectable. We keep a clear boundary between the source, the inference, and the work still needed.
Explain the inference.
Procurement rules connect project stage to a possible need. Buying windows are estimates, and fit scores rank relevance—not the chance of winning.
INFERRED
Cooling procurement may be approaching.
Keep unknowns visible.
An unconfirmed RFQ stays unknown. Contradictory evidence and unverified supplier profiles go to review instead of becoming confident-looking leads.
TO BE CONFIRMED
Buyer, exact scope and open buying window.

BEFORE YOU STARTA few important
A few important
questions.
Does a match mean an RFQ is open?+
No. A match identifies a possible product fit and procurement window. An RFQ may be unknown. The opportunity tells you what is supported, what is inferred and what still needs checking.
How is this different from reading project announcements?+
BeforeRFQ connects a milestone to a possible procurement category and a specific supplier profile. It also preserves the source evidence and gives the supplier a shortlist where sales progress can be recorded.
Where do the projects and supplier profiles come from?+
The current system processes structured bulletins from registered sources and curated or manually submitted supplier profiles. Operators control source trust and supplier verification. Automated web discovery is a planned capability, not a live feature in this prototype.
Will it find buyers or send emails for me?+
Not in the current version. The product helps prioritize a project and explains what to investigate. Buyer discovery, outreach and change alerts are separate roadmap items.
Can I create a live customer account today?+
Yes. Verify your email, create a company workspace and submit your selling profile for review. The current local build uses fictional project examples; a live pilot needs configured source coverage.
