Requirements Analysis is a paid add-on. Contact the Customer Success Team, or customersuccess@responsive.io, to enable it.
Document Shredding is an analysis tool that can be used by various teams in the organization to help analyze and ensure compliance. You can create any kind of matrix using this option. You can shred documents to create Requirements Matrix, Capability Matrix, Compliance Matrix, and more.
In the RFP world, the tool can be used in the following ways.
- In the pre-response stage of an RFP, the tool could be used to check the organization's compliance with the requirements or RFP that can help with the go/no-go decision.
- In the post-response stage, the tool can help ensure the response to the RFP requirement is met, resulting in a better-quality proposal.
