What VT Writer is
VT Writer is VisibleThread’s document analysis tool within an RFP platform for proposal, capture, and contracts teams. It checks readability, grade level, grammar, passive voice, and jargon, then scores writing against fundamental or custom style guidelines. Users can upload documents or email attachments to a dedicated address for analysis and emailed scores. Recommendations can be exported to Microsoft Word for review. The wider platform supports opportunity search, solicitation analysis, automated compliance matrices, FAR/DFAR clause analysis, contract version comparison, and AI-assisted drafting grounded in prior work. Integrations include SAM.gov, GSA eBuy, UK Find a Tender, and SharePoint; SharePoint permissions are respected and collections re-index after updates. Deployment can use managed public cloud, US GovCloud, private cloud, or on-premises environments, including air-gapped installations. VisibleThread positions it for government contractors and regulated industries. Pricing is by annual subscription and organization-specific; a 7-day trial is listed, with no credit card required.
