Compliance Matrix Generation Task

Purpose

Requirement Extraction: Identify all requirements from imported RFQ documents
Matrix Structure: Organize requirements in a structured compliance matrix
Response Mapping: Map requirements to proposal sections and owners
Validation: Verify complete requirement coverage

Extraction Methodology:

Automated Identification:
- Scan for requirement indicators ("shall," "must," "will," etc.)
- Identify numbered requirements and bullet points
- Extract requirements with context and reference information
Requirement Classification:
- Categorize by type (technical, management, past performance, etc.)
- Identify mandatory vs. optional requirements
- Tag with priority levels (critical, important, standard)
Reference Preservation:
- Maintain source document references (section, page, paragraph)
- Link to original text in RFQ documents
- Preserve context for accurate interpretation
Requirement Atomization:
- Break compound requirements into discrete items
- Ensure each requirement addresses a single obligation
- Assign unique requirement IDs (R-001, R-002, etc.)

Matrix Components:

Core Matrix Fields:
- Requirement ID (unique identifier)
- Requirement text (verbatim from RFQ)
- Source reference (document, section, page)
- Proposal section mapping
- Owner assignment
- Status tracking
- Evidence/proof points
Matrix Organization:
- Group by RFQ section (L.1, L.2, M.1, etc.)
- Alternate organization by proposal volume/section
- Hierarchical structure for nested requirements
- Clear visual distinction between requirement types
Status Tracking System:
- Not started
- In progress
- Draft complete
- Reviewed
- Final
- Gap/issue identified

Strategic Approach:

Requirement Analysis:
- Identify key discriminators and evaluation drivers
- Assess complexity and effort required
- Determine dependencies between requirements
- Identify potential compliance challenges
Response Strategy Development:
- Recommend optimal proposal organization
- Suggest strategic grouping of requirements
- Identify opportunities for emphasis and differentiation
- Plan for addressing complex or unusual requirements
Resource Allocation Planning:
- Assign SMEs based on requirement expertise
- Balance workload across team members
- Prioritize critical requirements
- Establish realistic timelines

Validation Process:

Completeness Check:
- Verify all requirements are captured
- Confirm no duplications or omissions
- Validate requirement atomization
- Ensure proper cross-referencing
Mapping Verification:
- Confirm all requirements map to proposal sections
- Validate owner assignments
- Check for gaps in coverage
- Verify alignment with evaluation criteria
Quality Control:
- Review requirement interpretation accuracy
- Validate classification and prioritization
- Check for consistency in formatting and structure
- Ensure traceability throughout the matrix

Complete Coverage: Ensure every requirement is captured, no matter how minor
Atomic Requirements: Break compound requirements into discrete, trackable items
Verbatim Extraction: Use exact requirement language from the RFQ
Clear Ownership: Assign specific owners to each requirement
Strategic Organization: Organize requirements to facilitate efficient response development
Regular Updates: Maintain the matrix as a living document throughout proposal development
Multiple Validations: Conduct independent reviews to verify completeness
Visual Indicators: Use color coding or icons to highlight status and priority

RFQ Document Import: Builds on imported and organized RFQ documents
Win Theme Development: Informs strategic emphasis in compliance approach
Content Generation: Drives section-specific content requirements
Review Simulation: Provides foundation for compliance verification
Submission Checklist: Ensures all requirements are addressed before submission
