The Usul Method: AI-Native Capture for Modern Teams

For the first time, AI can work collaboratively with capture teams to connect fragmented intelligence across contracts, budgets, and stakeholders, turning what was once 20+ hours of manual research into seconds of high-signal recommendations.

The Usul Method: AI-Native Capture for Modern Teams

Capture teams waste 20+ hours per week manually searching contract portals, tracking budget documents, and monitoring stakeholder movements across disconnected sources. Most of what they find leads nowhere. And the opportunities that could actually win? They slip through the cracks.

Before AI, this was the cost of doing business. Connecting contracts to budgets to the PEOs who control spending was impossible at scale. You'd search SAM or GovWin with keywords, manually cross-reference budget documents, hunt for org charts, and hope you weren't missing something critical.

The Pain of Disconnected Intelligence

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone:

20+ hours per week searching portals. SAM, DSIP, GSA eBuy, OASIS+, DIU, consortium portals. Each requires separate searches with different keyword strategies.

Budget data buried in thousand-page documents. Even when you find a program with funding, you can't tell which PEO controls it or if they're buying solutions like yours.

Stakeholder tracking in spreadsheets. Someone retires or changes offices and your team finds out months later when a warm relationship has gone cold.

No clear prioritization. Everything looks equally important, so teams waste resources pursuing contracts they were never going to win.

This isn't just inefficient. It's leaving revenue on the table from pursuing the wrong opportunities at the wrong time with the wrong stakeholders.

What Usul Makes Possible

The breakthrough isn't doing the old process faster. It's doing something impossible before: connecting contracts to budgets to stakeholders in real-time, then surfacing only what matters.

This is the Usul Method. Six steps that turn fragmented intelligence into coordinated capture:

1. Map Your Funding

AI identifies which defense programs allocate budget to your capabilities and the PEOs who control that spending. Every funding line analyzed in seconds.

2. Stack Against Incumbents

Track competitor pricing and identify recompetes before they hit portals. Know what it takes to win before you bid.

3. Inform Your Strategy

Target program managers with budget authority before RFPs drop. AI connects funding lines to specific PEOs.

4. Meet Your Champion

Track industry days where your target PEOs are presenting. Build relationships while competitors wait for solicitations.

5. Track Warm Opportunities

Receive AI-matched contracts from offices you're targeting, ranked by fit. Focus on high-PWin pursuits from accounts where you have relationships.

6. Manage It Seamlessly

One unified CRM connects opportunities, budgets, and stakeholders. No more jumping between tools.

Signal Through the Noise

Here's what changes with AI-native capture:

Track 100+ qualified daily opportunities from your target PEOs, ranked by fit, with budget and competitive context. Recompetes surface automatically with pricing history so you can position early. Resources go to high-PWin pursuits, pre-scored on your capabilities, relationships, and past performance.

In 2025, with thousands of contracts dropping monthly across 40+ portals, manual research can't keep pace. The teams winning the most revenue aren't searching harder. They're getting better intelligence, automatically.

Contracts connected to budgets connected to stakeholders. Signal through noise. High-PWin opportunities that turn into actual wins.

That's AI-native capture. Usul customers have won $500M in contracts this year.
