Go/no-go tools read the request, extract requirements and score fit, so the team spends drafting time on bids it can win. ## Which one fits your situation - If you are a presales team qualifying inbound requests, start with [Iris](/iris), [Realm](/realm) and [Steerlab](/steerlab). - If you bid on public tenders, start with [Tenderbolt](/tenderbolt), [Steerlab](/steerlab) and [Tendium](/tendium). ## What to test in a trial 1. Score five past requests, including two you lost, and compare the tool’s call with hindsight. 2. Check whether you can edit the scoring criteria. ## Caveats - A fit score is an input to the decision, not the decision. - Some go/no-go features are listed as coming soon on certain profiles and do not count here. ## How we decided who qualifies Only RFP, DDQ and questionnaire response tools with a published profile are checked. A tool is named here only when its record shows the rule above, either in a sourced research fact or in the reviewed profile, and we publish an answer only when at least three tools qualify. A tool missing from the table may still do this; it has not been documented in a way we could source. Read the [research methodology](/methodology) for how facts are dated and corrected. ## More questions on this topic What goes into a go/no-go decision? Fit with requirements, relationship with the buyer, competition, capacity and the deal value against the effort. Can AI make the go/no-go call? It can summarise and score. The decision needs someone who knows the account. ## Related questions - [Which RFP software finds new bid opportunities?](/questions/which-rfp-software-finds-new-bid-opportunities) - [Which RFP software can build a compliance matrix?](/questions/which-rfp-software-can-build-a-compliance-matrix) - [Best RFP software by use case](/best-rfp-software) - [All buyer questions](/questions) Compared tools on this page: Iris, Tenderbolt, Realm, Steerlab, Civio, Iternal, Tendium and Anchor and more.
