Made for the hours you have.

Fit the work in between jobs or after hours. Every task says about how long it takes and the roadmap keeps your place, so a spare half hour moves you forward.

  • A time estimate on every task

    From about 5 minutes to confirm your CAGE code to about 2 hours for your SAM.gov registration.

  • Your place is kept

    Stop halfway and come back next week. Finished and in-progress tasks are where you left them.

  • The next action, ranked

    Your overview puts first the tasks that raise your score most for the time they take.

Seven questions every task answers.

Whether you are registering in SAM.gov or writing a win theme, each task answers the same seven questions, so you always know what to do with the information.
