Work Sofie takes on
Business development and operations work Sofie takes on
Business development and operations workflows, from first pitch to governance review.
01
Proposal / RFP Response
Business Development · Workflow
Drafts or independently reviews a written response to a client RFP, RFI, RFQ, or an unsolicited/proactive proposal — end to end — so BD can move from solicitation to a review-ready proposal in one run, grounded strictly in supplied evidence.
Configured to your procedures
02
Capability Pitch Deck
Business Development · Workflow
A boardroom-ready capability deck, built from your own evidence — in an afternoon, not the week it usually takes.
Manual effort today
Days hunting through old decks, case studies, and quality records to assemble a story
03
Statement of Work (SOW)
Business Development · Workflow
Turn your engagement notes and service offering into a tightly scoped SOW — in an afternoon, not weeks.
Manual effort today
10–20 hours drafting and negotiating scope across BD and delivery
04
Technical Feasibility Assessment
Business Development · Workflow
Turn an incoming enquiry and your own site evidence into a defensible technical feasibility assessment — fit, capacity, gaps, risks and conditions — in an afternoon, not three weeks of round-robin emails.
Manual effort today
Two to three weeks of chasing MSAT, QC, QA and engineering for opinions, assembled into a document that quietly asserts capability nobody evidenced
05
COGS Model
Business Development · Workflow
Builds (Author) or independently reviews (Reviewer) a manufacturing cost-of-goods model — cost build-up by category, per-basis derivation, yield/scrap adjustment, sensitivity, benchmark comparison, and reduction opportunities — then produces a reconciled cost report and a live dashboard.
Configured to your procedures
06
Capital Expenditure (CapEx) Justification
Business Operations · Workflow
Turn your project scope, cost estimate, and benefit assumptions into a complete capital authorization package — strategic rationale, full financial model, options, sensitivity, and risk — plus an interactive dashboard, in an afternoon, not weeks.
Manual effort today
40–80 hours across finance, engineering, and manufacturing building the model and narrative by hand
07
Project Management Dashboard
Business Operations · Workflow
Turn your schedule, risk, and action logs into a sign-off-ready status report and a live dashboard — in minutes, not days.
Manual effort today
4–8 hours per cycle compiling and reconciling status by hand
08
Study / Experiment Cost Build-Up
Business Operations · Workflow
Turn your scope, your rate card, and whatever quotes, invoices and timesheets you already have into a finished cost package that Finance will actually sign.
Manual effort today
Two to three weeks of chasing rates, quotes and timesheets across Finance, the lab, and procurement, rebuilt from scratch in a spreadsheet every time, with the sources living only in someone's inbox
09
Management Review / Governance Report
Business Operations · Review
Assembles supplied program, portfolio, or quality-system evidence and authors a governance-review deck: an executive health summary with an overall RAG rating, status-vs-plan highlights, a KPI dashboard, quality-system metrics, a RAID / risk register, action-item status with prior-review carry-forward, a resource & budget summary, the decisions required from the governance body, and recommendations.
Configured to your procedures
A day in the life
The same work, without the assembly.
Your experts still make every call. Sofie gathers the evidence, drafts in your format and marks what is missing.
An RFP arrives
The first draft comes from your own record
- Before
- BD hunts through old decks, case studies and quality records to assemble answers and a story.
- With Sofie
- Sofie drafts each response from your workspace, cites the source for every capability claim, and marks questions that need an expert.
Scoping
Feasibility evidenced before it is promised
- Before
- Opinions from MSAT, QC, QA and engineering are gathered over weeks, and some capability is asserted rather than shown.
- With Sofie
- Sofie drafts the feasibility assessment from equipment, method and quality records, and lists what still needs confirmation.
Monthly client readout
Status that assembles itself
- Before
- Program managers compile status from trackers and meeting notes into a deck every cycle.
- With Sofie
- Sofie updates a Surface from the program's data and meetings, ready to present or export to PowerPoint.
“Sofie is the ultimate enabler. That leverage, compounded across the organization, is enormous.”
The platform behind it
Part of one connected platform
Start with one workflow.
Measure it. Then expand.
In a working session we choose a priority workflow, define your standards and review points, and agree how to measure speed, quality and capacity. Then you evaluate Sofie's work before deciding whether to expand.
