AI workspace for defense manufacturing proposal teams.Bring the Technical and Cost Story Together.
Docsbench AI agents read the RFQ, specifications, and drawings, trace every requirement, and build the technical volume, basis of estimate, and cost support from your engineering inputs and vendor quotes, all telling the same story.
- Every requirement routed
- Every estimate backed
- Technical and cost in step
Engineering, Cost, and Past Programs. One Workspace.
Bring the RFQ or RFP, specifications, drawings, SOW, and data deliverable list together with your bill of materials, vendor quotes, engineering estimates, program actuals, and past proposals and BOEs. Docsbench’s agents read all of it, so the technical and cost volumes are built from the same evidence.
Route Every Requirement to Its Owner.
Docsbench reads the solicitation, specification, SOW, and drawing notes, and sorts every requirement by function: engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, schedule, and cost. Each keeps its source reference, so every owner sees exactly what they have to answer, and nothing falls between them.

Back Every Estimate With Its Evidence.
Docsbench writes the basis of estimate for each WBS element from your engineering hours, comparable program actuals, and vendor quotes, and links every number to its source. Expired quotes, wrong quantities, and unsupported hours are flagged before the review team finds them.
WBS 1.3 Systems Test
1,240 hours
Basis: analogous to Program K-12 actuals, adjusted ×1.15 for added test points.
Keep Both Volumes in Step When the Basis Changes.
A new lot quantity. A longer lead time. A tighter delivery date. Tell Docsbench what changed, and it updates the technical narrative, the schedule, the cost workbook, and the BOE together, and checks that both volumes still agree.
Systems test runs in sixfour weeks, with a second shift added to hold the test sequence.
Built for Every Kind of Defense Bid.
From a prime’s RFQ to a development program, a production lot, and the cost support behind them. Choose the work you want to see.
Make Every Estimate Hold Up in Review.
“Write a basis of estimate for each WBS element from our engineering hours and the actuals from comparable programs.”
“Match every BOM line to a current vendor quote, and list the missing, expired, or wrong-quantity quotes.”
“Build the cross-reference showing where each cost element’s support sits in the proposal.”
Spend review time on the estimating judgments, not hunting for support.

Engineering and Pricing Own the Basis.
Can Docsbench read our drawings and specifications?
Yes. Upload drawings as PDFs or images along with the specifications. Docsbench reads the notes, tables, and requirements on them. It doesn’t produce or mark up drawings; its outputs are Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.
Does it work with our ERP, PLM, and pricing tools?
Bring exports of BOMs, routings, actuals, and quotes from your ERP, PLM, and pricing tools. Docsbench works with the files you upload, alongside the tools you already use.
Does it set our prices or estimating method?
No. Your cost leads set the method, rates, and factors, and engineering owns the hours. Docsbench applies them, writes the basis of estimate, and flags support that’s missing or doesn’t match.
Who signs the proposal?
You do. Engineering approves the technical approach, pricing approves the cost volume, contracts approves the terms, and your company signs the submission. Docsbench prepares and revises the work under your direction.
Bid More Programs Without Stretching Engineering.
Spend less time routing requirements, chasing quote support, and reconciling the technical and cost volumes after every change. Give your proposal, engineering, and pricing teams the capacity to pursue more programs.
