Generating Drafts
How draft generation works, what section types are created, and how to get the best results.
Generating Drafts
Bid Refinery generates citation-grounded response drafts using your library evidence and the extracted tender requirements.
Before you generate
For best results, make sure you have:
- At least 3–5 relevant library files uploaded (capability statements, case studies)
- Requirements reviewed and corrected where needed
- Project title and context set correctly
Starting a draft
- Open your project and click the Draft tab
- Click Generate New Draft
- Confirm in the dialog — generation runs in the background
- Sections appear in real time as they complete
Section types
Each Scoring requirement produces a dedicated response section. You will also get:
| Section Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Executive Summary | High-level overview of your bid |
| Scoring Responses | One section per scored question |
| Compliance Matrix | Side-by-side mapping of requirements to evidence |
| Tender Summary | Key facts extracted from the tender |
How the AI uses your library
The AI retrieves the most relevant passages from your library files using semantic search. Every claim in the draft is anchored to a real library document — you can see the citation inline.
Generation time
Most drafts complete within 3–8 minutes depending on the number of questions and library size.
Multiple drafts
You can generate multiple drafts for the same project. Each draft is versioned and timestamped. Previous drafts are accessible from the Draft History panel.
Draft modes
- Standard Draft — Full response with citations
- QA Mode — Generates quality assessment against the requirements rather than response text
