What is a gate decision meeting during the proposal process referred to as?

Gate decision meetings are checkpoints in the proposal process where the team decides whether to move forward with a full proposal. This is described as a qualification meeting because the primary task is to qualify the opportunity for pursuit—assessing strategic fit, customer need, competition, requirements, and the likelihood of winning, along with whether we have the resources to proceed. The result is typically a go/no-go decision: proceed with the proposal or terminate the pursuit. This isn’t about governance reviews, which focus on process controls; it isn’t the contract signing session, which happens after a win; and it isn’t the project kickoff, which starts after the contract is awarded.
