SOQs for public-works contractors

Win more public work. Write your SOQ in an hour, not a weekend.

hank turns your past projects into a polished, compliant Statement of Qualifications — so you bid more jobs and win more of them, without the all-nighters.

No card to start · Built by a contractor, not a software company.

How it works

From scattered project history to a winning SOQ — in three steps.

Set up your firm once. After that, every solicitation is a few minutes of work instead of a lost weekend.

1

Add your firm, once

Your past projects, key staff, certifications, and bonding capacity. hank keeps your qualifications library so you never rebuild it from scratch.

2

Drop in the RFQ

Paste the solicitation. hank reads the requirements — page limit, format, and the criteria you’re actually scored on.

3

Get a compliant draft

hank writes a page-fit SOQ in your branding, mapped to the scoring criteria. You add the human polish that wins, then submit.

Scoring & rewrites

Don’t just submit it. Score it — then make it score higher.

hank evaluates your draft the way the selection committee will: against the solicitation’s weighted criteria. It flags the sections costing you points and rewrites them for a higher mark — so you submit the strongest version, not the first one.

  • Scores your draft against the RFQ’s actual evaluation criteria
  • Flags the weak sections costing you the shortlist
  • Rewrites them for a higher mark — you approve every change
Why hank

Built around how qualifications-based work is actually won.

Compliant to the RFQ

Drafts to the solicitation’s page limit, margins, font rules, and evaluation criteria — so you’re not disqualified on a technicality.

Your brand, not a template

Your logo and colors on every page. Pick a theme once; every SOQ comes out looking like your firm hired a designer.

Project experience matrix

The space-saving devices experienced writers use — matrices, half-page profiles — so your depth fits the page count.

Every state & trade

Paving, site, civil, trades, services — qualifications work across all 50 states and thousands of local agencies.

Gets smarter as you go

Every SOQ feeds your library. The next one is faster, and tuned to what wins for your firm.

Export anywhere

Hand off a clean Word doc, a print-ready PDF, or editable Canva templates for the final polish.

Pricing

Priced against the alternative — not against other apps.

A proposal consultant charges $8,000–$30,000 to put one submission together. hank does the heavy lifting for a fraction — and you only pay when you’re ready to finalize.

Questions

The things contractors ask first.

hank reads the solicitation and drafts to its requirements — page limit, margins, font rules, and the evaluation criteria you’re scored on. You always review before you submit; hank gets you to a strong, compliant draft fast.

hank reads the solicitation’s evaluation criteria and their weights, then scores your draft against them the way a selection committee would. It flags the sections losing you points and rewrites them for a higher mark — and you approve every change before it’s in your SOQ. It’s a guide to focus your effort, not a guarantee, but it points you straight at what’s costing you the shortlist.

Yes. hank is built around qualifications-based public work, which exists in every state and across trades — paving, site, civil, specialty, and professional services. You tell it your discipline and target agencies; it tailors the SOQ to fit.

Your company. Add your logo and brand colors once and choose a theme; every SOQ comes out branded to your firm, ready to export to Word, PDF, or Canva for final touches.

No — but you do the final polish. hank handles the first 90%: structure, compliance, your project matrix, and a strong draft mapped to the criteria. You add the specifics and judgment that win the shortlist. In a competitive market, that human pass still matters, and hank gives you the time to make it.

Then don’t subscribe — pay per proposal. Buy one when you need it, or a pack that never expires, draft and score it free, and pay only to finalize. Nothing sits idle between bids. Firms that bid most months save more by subscribing; everyone else just pays as they go.

You can — but it’s usually a weaker bid. Every solicitation is scored on different criteria, with its own page limit and format, so last year’s proposal is generic exactly where this one needs to be specific — and a reused template is how firms get marked down or disqualified on a technicality. hank re-tailors and re-scores to each RFQ and pulls from a library that grows with your wins. On a bid you can’t afford to lose, that difference is the whole game.

Your project history, past performance, and bid materials stay private to your account and aren’t shared with other firms. You stay in control of your data.

See it before you pay. Draft and score any proposal for free — you only pay to finalize and export. No contract, and with pay-as-you-go there’s nothing to cancel. If hank doesn’t earn its place on your next bid, you’re out nothing.

Stop skipping bids you could win.

Set up your firm once, and turn every solicitation into a submitted, compliant SOQ.
