30-day money-back

Try it on your real pursuits.

Federal pursuit timelines are too long for a 14-day trial to be useful. Annual prepay, 30 days to walk away with a full refund — you decide based on whether VectorBrief surfaced an opportunity you would have missed without it.

No data clawback. Anything you tracked, scored, or saved is yours forever. We delete the row, you keep the briefing.

Cost comparison

Bloomberg Government starts at $7,000.

GovWin IQ ranges $13K–$119K. Federal Compass quotes only. We’re structurally cheaper because we don’t pay per-token to OpenAI — we run our own inference on dedicated hardware. That margin passes through to your invoice.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

Why no free trial?
Free trials in public-sector procurement get used for a single hot pursuit, then forgotten. The 30-day money-back guarantee gives you the same protection without the gimmicky time-pressure that shortchanges your evaluation.
Is the AI accurate?
Every score has a 5-factor breakdown with English annotations and a click-through to the underlying past awards / agency patterns / vehicle precedents. Where competitors give one black-box number, we show you the work.
Self-hosted vs OpenAI?
Our inference runs on Spark hardware we own. No customer data leaves the platform; no per-token costs eat your invoice; no quota windows; FedRAMP-style data residency without paying the FedRAMP price.
Annual or monthly?
Annual only. Federal pursuit cycles are 6–18 months; month-to-month billing fights the workflow. The 30-day money-back guarantee is the safety valve.
SOC 2?
Type I prep package complete. Type II audit launches Q3 2026 with a Drata onboarding. Available to enterprise tier on request.
