What teams ask before engaging.
Plain answers on platform, security, CRM, onboarding, and how AI plus practitioner capture actually works together.
01Is BD Signal™ a platform, an advisory service, or both?
+
Is BD Signal™ a platform, an advisory service, or both?
Both. BD Signal™ is an AI-powered pursuit intelligence platform delivered alongside practitioner capture support. Most clients engage on a hybrid model — software access plus monthly capture coaching from the PursuitTeam.ai team.
02What data sources does BD Signal™ ingest?
+
What data sources does BD Signal™ ingest?
Public federal procurement data (SAM.gov, agency forecasts, USAspending, FPDS), incumbent contract behavior, agency budget signals, capital improvement plans, municipal portals, and your own CRM and pursuit history when integrated.
03Does BD Signal™ integrate with our CRM?
+
Does BD Signal™ integrate with our CRM?
Yes. We support HubSpot, Salesforce, GovWin IQ, and most major BD tooling via API. Most teams run BD Signal™ alongside their existing CRM rather than replacing it.
04How is client data secured?
+
How is client data secured?
All client data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Pursuit data is logically isolated per tenant. We do not train shared models on client pursuit data. FedRAMP-aligned hosting is available for engagements that require it.
05Do you require a security clearance to engage?
+
Do you require a security clearance to engage?
No. The platform and practitioner team work with unclassified pursuit data only. For clients operating in classified spaces, we coordinate with cleared BD leads inside the client organization.
06How long does onboarding take?
+
How long does onboarding take?
Most teams are operational within 2–3 weeks. Week one is intake and capability mapping. Week two is signal calibration and CRM connection. Week three is the first qualified pursuit review with practitioner coaching.
07Who is BD Signal™ not a fit for?
+
Who is BD Signal™ not a fit for?
Teams without an active BD function, single-pursuit shops chasing one contract, and organizations expecting fully autonomous AI to replace human capture judgment. Our model is AI plus practitioner — not AI instead of practitioner.
08How does pricing work?
+
How does pricing work?
We publish three engagement tiers — Signal, Pursuit, and Operator — on our engagement models page. Custom scopes are common for enterprise and embedded engagements.
09Are you affiliated with BD Succeed?
+
Are you affiliated with BD Succeed?
Yes. PursuitTeam.ai is built by the same practitioner team behind BD Succeed, which has supported federal growth for more than 30 years across small, mid-market, and enterprise contractors.
