stargazy measured 8 pre-RFP activities again to determine how they affect win rate.

stargazy is the win intelligence company, an independent analyst firm covering the capture, bid and proposal industry. We measure why teams win and lose competitive RFPs across 1,000+ organizations, evaluate the software vendor landscape annually, and certify proposal professionals against evidence of what actually wins. We exist because Heads of Capture teams, Bid Directors, and Directors of Proposals make high-stakes decisions every quarter with almost no independent data to support them. What do you have to do to win? Which platform to invest in? How to structure the team? What good looks like compared to the rest of the market? Where does automation fit? What we publish: ✹ The Proposal & Bid Software Report, with vendors across five categories, published annually in April ✹ The State of Winning Work, with proposal team composition, salaries, process benchmarks, and win rate data ✹ The Stargazy Brief podcast, featuring the people who know how to win ✹ AI automation workshops for proposal & revenue teams ready to move into genuine workflow transformation We are not a software company; we don't make commissions on software sales. Our revenue comes from the Orbits vendor partnership program, where platform companies pay for independent analyst coverage and visibility. The research stays independent because the model demands it. If you run a GTM or proposal function and you have never had an analyst in your corner, that changes here. www.stargazy.io
