The objective is to validate the win strategy and the actions required to position and win the opportunity. This review acts as a governance checkpoint in capture work, making sure the pursuit plan truly reflects what matters to the customer and that everyone on the team agrees on how to win. It confirms that the win themes, differentiators, messaging, customer discovery plan, competitive intelligence approach, teaming arrangements, risk management, and scheduled actions are coherent and aligned. Only after this alignment is established do you move forward with further steps such as pricing, terms discussions, and final proposal development.

This isn’t about setting the final price or terms, publishing the proposal to the customer, or locking in an award date—that happens later in the process and is driven by procurement timelines and negotiations, not the capture plan review.
