The Orals Readiness Checklist
Most orals aren't lost on delivery — they're lost on points the team had already won on paper. This is the working checklist for capture and proposal managers, working backward from your orals date.
What's inside
- 4–6 weeks outBuild the plan: scorable evaluation criteria, factor-to-presenter assignments, the ROE as a hard checklist.
- 2–3 weeks outRehearse against the record: timed run-throughs, factor-by-factor scoring, claim-vs-proposal sweeps.
- 1 week outPressure-test: uncomfortable Q&A with a clock, mechanical deck compliance, key-personnel confirmation.
- 48 hours outLock it down: final timed run, tech check, print/pack per the ROE, the backup-presenter plan.
- BonusThe five questions every evaluation panel asks somewhere — be ready for all of them.
