Charter, bylaws, accord — and why teaming wins work

Training slide — pursuit stake mechanics
A captured, refundable commitment deposit
When you join an active deal room, the $250 pursuit stake is charged to the card on file and held by the platform for that pursuit. It is not membership revenue. After the prime or authorized staff approves compliant Pink Team delivery, the deposit is automatically refunded to the original payment method, less non-returned merchant processing costs (estimated at $7.55 on a $250 card payment).
- Placed per pursuit room, per member — not per subscription.
- Charged when you join the active deal room and held for that pursuit.
- Automatically refunded after approved milestone delivery, net of merchant processing costs.
- Forfeited only for unexcused withdrawal or abandonment within 72 hours of the delivery deadline.
Pink Team milestone: initial compliant technical draft review
The Pink Team milestone is the initial compliant technical draft review — roughly a 65–70% complete draft (Shipley terminology). Your assigned section must be complete enough to be reviewed against the solicitation's Section L instructions and Section M evaluation factors, with placeholders only for pricing and final graphics.
Before checkout, have your active UEI and CAGE code ready — SAM.gov entity verification runs on every tier.

The $250 pursuit escrow protocol
Lock
When partners join a deal room for an active solicitation, each firm's $250 refundable commitment deposit is charged to the card on file and held by the platform for that pursuit.
Delivery
Each partner is assigned specific proposal volumes — for example, the prime authors Management and Staffing while the sub authors Technical Approach and Task Area 3.
Release
When the prime or authorized staff approves compliant copy at the internal Pink Team milestone (roughly a 65–70% draft), the deposit is automatically refunded to the original payment method, less non-returned merchant processing costs.
Forfeiture
The deposit is forfeited only if a member makes an unexcused withdrawal or abandons the pursuit within 72 hours of the delivery deadline. Forfeited funds compensate the remaining partners or an emergency proposal writer who completes the work.

What “Pink Team milestone” means
initial compliant technical draft review
The Pink Team milestone is the initial compliant technical draft review — roughly a 65–70% complete draft (Shipley terminology). Your assigned section must be complete enough to be reviewed against the solicitation's Section L instructions and Section M evaluation factors, with placeholders only for pricing and final graphics.
Administrative lapse
Any member whose SAM.gov registration expires or becomes inactive has platform privileges paused automatically until registration status is restored.
Proposal abandonment
Failure to deliver an assigned volume by the Pink Team milestone forfeits the $250 stake and triggers a 90-day suspension from the active deal room.
Circumvention
Using platform procurement data or introductions to bid independently or with an unapproved third party results in expulsion and liquidated damages of 15% of the total award.
