Autonomous Bid Factory Orchestration (1000 Plans/Day)

Pitch

Design an orchestration layer that can generate, verify, and route up to 1000 bid-ready plans per day, while maintaining quality gates, auditability, and human oversight.

Why

Generating plans at scale is only valuable if they are:

  • high-quality and defensible
  • properly verified
  • routed to the right decision-makers
  • consistent with governance and risk constraints

Without orchestration, a high-throughput system becomes noisy and untrustworthy.

Problem

  • Large volumes of opportunities require automated prioritization.
  • Quality gates and verification can bottleneck throughput.
  • Without routing logic, valuable bids get lost in a flood of noise.

Proposed Solution

Build a bid factory orchestrator that:

  1. Prioritizes incoming opportunities.
  2. Dispatches plan creation jobs to a worker pool.
  3. Applies staged verification and scoring.
  4. Routes plans to investors or bid channels based on fit.
  5. Logs all actions for audit and governance.

Orchestration Architecture

Opportunity Intake
  -> Prioritization Queue
  -> Plan Generation Workers
  -> Verification Pipeline
  -> Ranking and Escalation
  -> Routing and Dispatch

Core Components

1) Prioritization Queue

  • Assign priority based on urgency, bidability, and strategic fit.
  • Enforce rate limits per domain to avoid overload.
  • Allow human override for strategic opportunities.

2) Plan Generation Workers

  • Run in parallel with concurrency limits.
  • Use standardized prompt templates to reduce variance.
  • Capture metadata and evidence used in plan generation.

3) Verification Pipeline

  • Apply automated claim checks and evidence scoring.
  • Route high-risk plans to expert verification.
  • Produce confidence scores and missing-info lists.

4) Ranking and Escalation

  • Rank plans by expected ROI and risk-adjusted confidence.
  • Escalate top plans to human review.
  • Auto-discard low-quality or non-viable plans.

5) Routing and Dispatch

  • Route to relevant investor groups or bid channels.
  • Trigger outreach or RFP response workflows.
  • Track outcomes for feedback and learning.

Output Schema

{
  "plan_id": "plan_123",
  "opportunity_id": "opp_987",
  "priority": "high",
  "verification_score": 0.78,
  "status": "escalated",
  "routing_target": "infrastructure_investors"
}

Governance and Auditability

  • Every plan has an audit log of inputs, prompts, and decision steps.
  • Human review points are logged with rationale.
  • Override decisions require justification.

Success Metrics

  • Plans/day throughput with quality acceptance rate.
  • Percentage of plans passing verification.
  • Time-to-dispatch from opportunity detection.
  • Conversion rate to funded or awarded bids.

Risks

  • Throughput pressure lowering quality: mitigate with strict gates.
  • Hallucinated data: mitigate with evidence checks.
  • Routing errors: mitigate with feedback loops.

Future Enhancements

  • Adaptive prioritization based on historical win rates.
  • Dynamic scaling of worker pools.
  • Real-time dashboard of throughput, quality, and outcomes.

Detailed Implementation Plan

Phase A — Queue Architecture and Throughput Controls (2 weeks)

  1. Define four queue stages:
  2. intake
  3. generation
  4. selection
  5. packaging
  6. Add quotas by domain/region and urgency tier.
  7. Add backpressure and degrade-to-sketch mode under overload.

Phase B — Worker Orchestration (2–3 weeks)

  1. Build worker pools with stage-specific resource classes.
  2. Add retry policies and dead-letter queues.
  3. Add SLA timers by opportunity type.

Phase C — Quality and Cost Governance (2 weeks)

  1. Add quality gates before promotion between stages.
  2. Add per-stage cost budgets and run caps.
  3. Add escalation to deep-review only for shortlisted items.

Phase D — Bid Package Assembly (2 weeks)

  1. Generate standardized bid bundle artifacts.
  2. Add package completeness checks.
  3. Add handoff integrations for submission systems.

Validation checklist

  • Sustained plans/day throughput
  • Cost per usable package
  • Queue latency and starvation checks
  • Package completeness pass rate
