For Consulting & Implementation Firms

Every proposal
starts from zero.
It shouldn’t.

Not generic templates. Not gut feel. Your actual project history.

Winning proposals land in your client’s hands before your competitor schedules their scoping call. Leeward Compass calibrates every opportunity against your firm’s real delivery actuals — a defensible, client-ready package in minutes instead of a deal-stalling scoping guessing game your margins pay for.

The Problem

Your best data never
makes it into the bid.

Your firm has completed dozens of projects. The lessons exist. The data exists.Nobody has time to use it.

The Copy-Paste Sales Package

Someone digs up the last "similar" deal and spends days—or weeks—recalculating estimates and manually updating proposals and contracts line-by-line.

Gut-Feel Pricing & Wishful Timelines

Estimates get shaped by what the client wants to spend rather than what past projects actually cost. Scope creep and margin loss begin before the contract is even signed.

Trapped Institutional Knowledge

The real post-project truths—cost overruns, materialized risks, and schedule delays—stay locked in scattered folders and individual heads, never informing the next bid.

Proposals That Look Like Everyone Else’s

Because they are. Relying on generic scope language removes any connection to your firm’s real outcomes—giving clients zero reason to choose you over the competition.

Why this keeps happening

A generic AI tool guesses. A static template repeats the past. ChatGPT doesn’t know what your last implementation actually cost, and your template library doesn’t know it ran six weeks over.

Leeward Compass calibrates — because every estimate is built from your firm’s own closed projects, not a public model’s training data.

The Anchor

Every number in Compass traces back to a real, completed project — not a guess, not a benchmark, not a template.

How It Works

Your institutional knowledge,
finally doing its job.

See how Leeward Compass takes your team from guessing to winning.

Phase 01

Retrieve

AI identifies up to 5 comparable projects from your delivered work — by application, scope, and complexity. Every match shows its similarity score.

Raw Input
Phase 02

Calibrate

Analyzes actual vs planned budget and timeline variances, the risks that materialized, and the lessons learned. Budget rationale explains the gap against client expectations in dollars.

Calibration
Phase 03

Generate

Produces your complete sales package, scope-driven — select 5 scope areas and only those 5 appear. No irrelevant sections, no manual cleanup.

Final Output

Who It Serves

Built for the whole
deal team.

One platform. Three stakeholders. Each gets what they actually need to move the deal forward.

Sales & Business Development

Win faster. Defend less.

Walk into every conversation with a client-ready package in minutes. Calibrated budget ranges, scope tied to your firm’s actuals, and a clear story for why the number is right.

Delivery & Practice Leads

Scope what you can actually deliver.

Stop inheriting optimistic proposals. See comparable projects, real variance, and the risks that materialized — before you’re asked to sign off on the SOW.

Executive & Finance

Protect margin. Repeat what works.

Every estimate is anchored to delivered history, not wishful thinking. Fewer write-offs, more predictable forecasts, and a closed-loop system that gets sharper with every project.

Client Perspective

What sales leaders
are saying.

“Leeward Compass is a genuinely useful tool for consulting and delivery teams. It doesn't just support external proposal responses — it also streamlines the internal collateral needed for reviews and approvals... removing a lot of friction in getting to a confident, evidence-backed result, both outside and inside the organization.”

What You Get

Eight artifacts.
Minutes, not days.

The complete sales-to-contract package — each one generated in minutes, every one consistent with the others, all grounded in the same project evidence.

Budgetary Estimate

A ±10% calibrated range sent before the formal SOW, so the client sees a defensible number early and the deal doesn't stall on price.

T&M Statement of Work

Scope-driven terms for time & materials engagements, written in your firm's language and calibrated to past actuals.

Fixed-Price Statement of Work

Fixed-fee scope, assumptions, and boundaries built from your firm's real delivery history.

T&M Ordering Document + Exhibit

Commercial contract package for time & materials engagements, ready for execution under your existing contracts (MSA/CSA).

Fixed-Price Ordering Document + Exhibit

Fixed-price commercial contract and exhibit, ready for execution under your existing contracts (MSA/CSA).

Proposal

Full client proposal with cover letter, executive summary, scope, benefits, and investment.

T&M Amendment

Change-order document for time & materials engagements when scope shifts after signature.

Fixed-Price Amendment

Change-order document for fixed-price engagements, with variance rationale built from comparable projects.

Also included

A Proposal Confidence Score that tells you how much evidence stands behind the estimate, a Delivery Hub that captures actuals and lessons as projects close, and one-click export to Word. Every closed project makes the next proposal sharper.

Why Compass

Guessing versus calibrating.

The difference between a win and a profitable project isn't the writing. 
It's what the numbers are built on.

Why We Built It

I lived this problem
for 25 years.

Over 25 years leading PMOs, enterprise consulting practices, and solution strategy — including more than a decade at Oracle and Siebel — I spent thousands of hours in the sales-to-delivery trenches. One truth became undeniable: the traditional proposal process is broken.

Modern consulting firms have completed dozens — sometimes hundreds — of successful projects. The lessons exist. The real cost data exists. But in a fast-moving sales cycle, nobody has time to mine it. Teams copy-paste old sales packages, guess at pricing, and make optimistic timeline promises that strain margins before the contract is even signed.

I built Leeward Compass to be the anchor I always wished I had: a calibration platform that turns your buried project history into automated guardrails for every future bid. Every estimate traces back to real, completed work — so your team can quote in minutes and protect the margin.

Compass isn't a general-purpose AI wrapper built by people who have never scoped a project. It's built on the way this work actually gets done.

Security & Data Ownership

Your project history is your most sensitive asset.

It's also the thing Compass needs to work. Here's exactly how we handle it.

Your data is isolated

Every firm gets its own tenant. Row-level security is enforced on every query — your projects are never visible to another customer, and never pooled.

You own your documents

Your projects, SOWs, and actuals remain yours. Export everything at any time. Cancel and we delete it.

Never used to train models

Your project data is never used to train AI models — ours or anyone else's. It is used to generate your proposals, and nothing else.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

TLS on every connection, encryption at rest, role-based access inside your account, and a full audit trail of document generation.

Where we are today

We are pre-SOC 2. We’re telling you that plainly rather than burying it, because if certification is a hard requirement for your firm today, you should know before the demo. We’re happy to walk your IT or security team through our architecture, hosting, and data handling in detail, and to complete your security questionnaire. Read the full security FAQ.
