# Reviewing Color Teams
Run a proposal review the way a federal source-selection evaluator would. Color
team reviews catch problems while they are still cheap to fix. Their value
depends entirely on one thing: producing findings that are scored, prioritized,
and specific enough to act on. A review that returns vague impressions wastes
the most expensive afternoon in the proposal schedule. This skill runs the
review against an explicit standard and produces a findings matrix the team can
work in recovery.
## When to use this skill
Use this skill to run any of the proposal color team reviews:
- Blue Team: early, on the solution and win strategy, before or during solutioning.
- Pink Team: on storyboards and an early draft (~30–50%).
- Green Team: on the cost/price volume and the pricing strategy.
- Red Team: near-final (~90%), scoring as the government evaluator would.
- Gold Team: final, executive go/no-go before submission.
- White Glove: final production / book check of the assembled package.
Determine which review fits the work and its maturity (the skill's intake does
this). This skill reviews; it does not fix. The fixes are recovery work, run by
`running-review-recovery` with the drafting skills.
## Inputs
**Required:**
- The proposal content to review — storyboards (`11-proposal-outline.md`) for a
Pink Team; drafted sections (`12-sections/` and the volume artifacts) for Red
and Gold.
- `10-compliance-matrix.md`: the requirements the proposal is checked against.
