Compliance auditing

Check a VDOT Design-Build SOQ or Technical Proposal before you submit.

Design-Build Studio holds two AI auditors. The SOQ Auditor reads your RFQ and Statement of Qualifications, pulls every business and individual license you claim, and checks each one live against Virginia DPOR and the SCC. The Technical Proposal Auditor pulls every shall / must / required rule from RFP Parts 1 and 2 and checks both proposal volumes against them, the way a tough evaluation panel would.

Design-Build Studio

How it works

  1. Upload the RFQ and SOQ, or RFP Parts 1 and 2 with Volumes I and II.
  2. The auditor extracts the requirements and checks your documents against them.
  3. Download the PDF report and fix the gaps while there is still time.

What goes in, what comes out

You provide

  • RFQ document .pdf
    The Request for Qualifications PDF issued by VDOT. Max size 50 MB.

  • RFP Part 1 .pdf
    Administrative section of the Request for Proposals (forms, formatting, submittal rules).

You get

  • Compliance audit report .pdf (SOQ_Report.pdf)
    A merged PDF containing the AI-generated VDOT compliance review, the extracted license tables, and the DPOR + SCC validation matrix showing pass / fail status for every license and entity claimed.
  • Compliance audit report .pdf (typically 30–60+ pages)
    Enterprise PDF with: cover + document inventory, full-page RESPONSIVE / NON-RESPONSIVE verdict, executive summary with per-section + per-discipline breakdowns, dedicated 'Fatal Findings' section, full Administrative Compliance Matrix (RFP Part 1), one section per engineering discipline for Technical Compliance (RFP Part 2), Cross-Volume Reconciliation findings, and an appendix with the complete mined-rule inventory. Every row shows the verbatim RFP quote, the verbatim proposal evidence (or its absence), the proposal page number, and a 3–5 sentence auditor reasoning.
