What breaks without it
You don't know your win rate
By GC, by trade, by rep, by season — win rate is 'about 25%,' which means unknown.
Fast responders win
The sub who confirms receipt and asks a smart question in the first 24 hours wins over the sub who sends a lower number a week later.
Losses are anonymous
You lost, but you don't know if it was price, timing, scope, or relationship. So nothing improves.
What URBLD does
Bid response speed tracking
URBLD times every bid from ITB receipt to acknowledged, to submitted. Reps see their own median and target.
Scope clarity scoring
Bids are checked against a template for exclusions, allowances, alternates, and schedule assumptions before submission.
Automated follow-up cadence
Post-submission follow-up runs itself — the single highest-leverage change most contractors don't make.
Bid Follow-UpWin/loss reasons + quarterly review
Every bid closes with a reason. URBLD compiles quarterly reports showing which reasons repeat and which reps are trending up or down.
Why URBLD
Most 'win rate tips' are opinions. URBLD gives you the numbers behind your win rate — and the workflow that moves them.
