What is identical to a Win strategy?

Winning a bid hinges on the plan for how you will win the opportunity. The opportunity/capture strategy is exactly that: it lays out the approach for pursuing and winning a specific opportunity, including understanding the customer, identifying decision criteria, developing win themes and discriminators, planning capture actions, and setting gates and go/no-go decisions. Because it defines the path to victory and how you will position your solution, it is identical to a Win strategy. Staffing plans are about who will work on the bid, not how you win it. A compliance checklist ensures you meet requirements. A technical solution focuses on what you will deliver technically. While these are important, they don’t establish the overall approach to winning the deal, which is what the opportunity/capture strategy provides.
