How FORGE Works

From discovery call to
submission-ready work product.

Stage 01

Structured Intake

Your advisor walks you through a structured intake that captures the exact data federal agencies and prime contractors evaluate — certifications, NAICS codes, past performance, compliance posture, and current BD activity.

Stage 02

Scored Assessment

The FORGE assessment scores your organization across readiness domains on a 100-point scale, placing you into one of four tiers. No gut feelings. No generic advice. The score determines the diagnosis.

Stage 03

Gap Report

A branded, multi-page report shows your score, tier, domain-by-domain breakdown, benchmarks against federal contractor averages, and a prioritized 90-day action plan. You see exactly what's dragging your score down.

Stage 04

Opportunity Intelligence

Your profile is matched against live federal contract opportunities filtered by your NAICS codes, certifications, and set-aside eligibility. Not a market overview — a matched shortlist of contracts you can actually pursue.

Stage 05

Scoped Proposal

A formal engagement proposal is generated with services, scope, and fees tied directly to the gaps your score revealed — not a generic retainer. You know exactly what you're getting before you commit.

Stage 06

Delivery

Tier-matched deliverables produced to federal standards. Capability statements, SAM.gov compliance packages, federal BD plans, teaming frameworks, prime contracting strategy — matched to where your score places you.

Your FORGE Advisor

25 years inside the federal marketplace.

Mario Torres leads every FORGE engagement. He doesn't advise from the outside — he has spent over 25 years operating inside the federal procurement ecosystem, understanding how agencies evaluate vendors, what disqualifies strong candidates, and what it actually takes to win.

When Mario reviews your capability statement or your proposal, he's reading it the way the other side of the table will. That's the difference between a consultant with a framework and an advisor who knows the room.
