RFP Gap Analysis Report
Uncover the Requirements That Are Costing You Deals
Aggregate compliance data across every RFP to spot patterns in non-compliance. When you're marking "non-compliant" on EU data hosting for the third time this quarter, it's not random. It's a product gap that's bleeding revenue.
The Problem
Losing Deals to the Same Requirements, Again
You complete 40 RFPs; 28 ask about EU data residency. Non-compliance stalls three deals and two go dark—but you lack data to show the real cost

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Can I see which requirements we keep saying 'no' to across all our RFPs?
Yes. AutoRFP.ai's Gap Analysis examines every requirement across all your completed RFPs and identifies patterns in where you are non-compliant or partially compliant. It groups recurring gaps together so you can see, for example, that you have been flagged for the same missing certification across five different RFPs. Teams use this to feed product roadmap decisions and prioritise which capabilities to invest in next.
Can I export gap analysis data for my product team?
Yes. The gap analysis exports as CSV, making it easy to share with your product, compliance, or engineering teams. Product managers use this data to identify which missing features or certifications are costing you the most deals, turning RFP losses into actionable product roadmap input.
How does gap analysis help improve our win rate?
By showing you exactly where and why you are losing RFPs, gap analysis turns guesswork into data. You can see patterns across won vs. lost proposals at both the project and organisational level. When your CFO asks 'Why is our win rate 38%?', you can point to specific, recurring compliance gaps rather than guessing. This data drives targeted improvements that directly impact your win rate over time.
Does gap analysis work across different types of questionnaires?
Yes. Gap analysis covers RFPs, security questionnaires, DDQs, and any other type of submission processed through AutoRFP.ai. It identifies compliance patterns regardless of the document type, giving you a unified view of where your organisation's gaps are across all response types.
How long does it take to get set up?
Gap analysis works automatically once you have completed a few RFPs in AutoRFP.ai. The more projects you complete, the richer the analysis becomes. Most teams start seeing actionable patterns after completing 10-20 projects.
