shredding-solicitationslisted

# Shredding Solicitations Take a federal solicitation apart, requirement by requirement, and build the compliance matrix — the table that maps every requirement to the proposal location that answers it. The compliance matrix is the spine of a compliant proposal. Every later proposal skill works against it. A requirement that is not in the matrix is a requirement the proposal will miss, and a missed material requirement is a deficiency. ## When to use this skill Use this skill as the first proposal-development step after the RFP releases (or on a draft RFP, to get a head start). It precedes outlining, drafting, and every volume-specific skill. It does not build the proposal outline — that is `outlining-proposals`, which consumes this matrix. This skill produces the requirements inventory; the outline turns it into a document structure. ## Inputs **Required:** the solicitation itself — at minimum Sections L, M, and C (or the SOW/PWS/SOO and the instructions/evaluation equivalents). Place the document in the pursuit workspace `source/` directory. Include all amendments and the Q&A. **Preferred upstream artifacts:** - `00-opportunity-profile.md`: orienting context. - `05-win-strategy.md`: lets the matrix flag where themes will be threaded. **Without the win strategy**, the matrix is still complete; it simply omits the theme-placement column. Read `../../shared/federal-solicitation-primer.md`, `../../shared/glossary.md`, and `../../shared/pursuit-workspace.md` if not alre
