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.

Tip: For addenda, run ADDENDA-DIFF to spot changes before you submit.
