Get the best results: how to provide your document

Preferred formats

  • Text-based PDF (you can select/copy text), DOCX, or TXT.
  • If you only have a scan, OCR it first (Adobe Acrobat → Scan & OCR → Recognize Text, 300–400 dpi, “Searchable image”).
  • Keep addenda as separate files (e.g., RFP_v1.pdf, Addendum_1.pdf).
  • Very long docs? Split into three parts: (A) Instructions/Submission, (B) Scope/Technical, (C) Forms & Appendices.

Quick check: copy a date or dollar amount from the PDF—if it pastes cleanly, the text layer is OK.

Quick checklist

  • ✅ Include pages with deadlines & submission rules.
  • ✅ Upload any addenda you have—then run ADDENDA-DIFF.
  • ✅ For key tables/forms, add a spreadsheet export if available.
  • ✅ Use clear filenames; avoid password-protected files.
  • 🔒 Redact confidential or personal data before sharing.

FAQ

Do I need a ChatGPT account? Yes — it opens in ChatGPT; a free account works. Does Halyard see my data? No. You use your own ChatGPT session. Halyard doesn’t receive your chats/uploads by default. Is this legal advice? No — use it to analyze and organize; verify against official documents and addenda. Can it handle addenda? Yes — upload the addenda and use ADDENDA-DIFF to generate a changes table and impact notes. Will it submit proposals for me? No. It prepares summaries and files; you submit via the issuer’s process.
