The Maiar workspace

Everything you need to find and win public work

Intelligent monitoring, plain-language bid intelligence, and a guided response workflow — one workspace, from first posting to submitted proposal.

Find · Smart bid filters

Catch every good bid opportunity

Set your fit criteria once — sector, budget, region — and every new posting runs through it automatically. Pick a category and the board narrows to the bids that match, each scored for fit, so you skip the scrolling and see only what's worth your time.

Find · Relevant monitoring

One inbox for every portal

Flip a portal on and Maiar watches it continuously. One BC Bid login covers core government plus BC Hydro, WorkSafeBC and BC Housing — postings land triaged and scored, not as a raw feed you have to check every morning.

Everything the Find workspace covers

Smart bid filters

Fit criteria you set once — sector, budget range, region, bilingual requirements — applied to every new posting automatically.

Fit scoring

Every match gets a 0–100 fit score based on your win history, not a keyword match.

Plain-language summaries

Skip the 40-page RFP PDF — get scope, budget, and requirements in a paragraph.

Deadline tracking

Every close date lands on your calendar the moment a bid is triaged.

Content library

Boilerplate, resumes, past awards and case studies stay one click from any draft.

CASL-safe outreach

Turn a scored bid into a compliant first-touch email without leaving the workspace.


Smartflow

From qualify to submission, one workspace

Once a bid is worth pursuing, Smartflow takes over: Intake pulls in every source document, Review drafts a response plan, Generate writes the first-pass submission from your content library, and Deliver packages it for email or portal upload — every deadline tracked against the actual submission checklist.

Smartflow never sends an email or submits to a portal by itself — a person always makes that final call.

Intelligence · Bid summary

Open a bid, read it in a paragraph

Every bid opens to a plain-language brief — deliverables, financial parameters, and hard disqualifiers pulled straight from the tender. Know in thirty seconds what's being asked and whether you clear the mandatories, without opening a single 40-page PDF.

Intelligence · Fit score

A fit score you can actually explain

Every bid is rated on four factors — domain fit, win probability, revenue size and urgency — each weighted and combined into a single 0–100 score. It's not a keyword match: expand any score to see exactly how it was reached, and pin a manual rating when you know better.

Domain fit · 40% weight5 / 5
Win probability · 30% weight4 / 5
Revenue size · 20% weight5 / 5
Urgency · 10% weight4 / 5
HOW THIS IS SCORED

Each factor is rated 1–5, then combined: domain × 40% + win × 30% + revenue × 20% + urgency × 10%, scaled to 100. Bands: ≥80 strong, ≥65 good, else partial. Urgency rises as the deadline nears (objective, always live). Unscored bids are auto-rated from the posting; editing the factors pins a manual score that auto-scoring won't overwrite.

Intelligence · Pricing intelligence

Price against what actually won

When a budget isn't published, Maiar estimates one from comparable awarded contracts — the deals that were actually won — adjusted for duration and complexity. You walk into pricing decisions with a defensible range, not a guess.

Ask Istari

A workspace-aware assistant, one keystroke away

Ask Istari (⌘K) answers questions against your own pipeline — “which open bids close this month?”, “what did we say in our last transit proposal?” — and grounds every answer in your real bids, not a generic chatbot with no idea what Smartflow is.

Ask Istari · ⌘K
Which open bids close this month, and which should we prioritise?
Grounded in your pipeline

Three bids close before month-end. Claims Data Analytics Platform (ICBC, 92% fit) is the clear priority — highest fit and a $610K ceiling. BI Advisory Services (BC MoH, 88%) closes in 9 days. The third, Open-Data Dashboard (74%), is a stretch; flag it only if capacity frees up.
