Honest methodology

How the numbers work

Current annual contract value = wins_per_year x avg_contract_value. This is the scale of your existing pipeline -- context for everything else.

Annual monitoring time cost = hours_per_week x 52 x hourly_rate. This is what your team currently spends just watching portals, before qualifying or pursuing a single opportunity. It is entirely your own input; we add no multiplier or assumption.

Recommended tier is based solely on the number of countries you entered. 1 country maps to Essentials ($499/mo); 2-10 to Intelligence ($1,250/mo); 11 or more to Global ($2,499/mo). These are GlobalGov's published prices. See the pricing page for the full feature breakdown.

Break-even contract value = tier_annual_cost / (win_probability / 100). This is the single-contract threshold: if GlobalGov surfaces one opportunity you would not otherwise have found, and you win it at your stated probability, how large does it need to be to recover the subscription cost for the year? It is a mathematical threshold, not a guarantee. GlobalGov makes no claim about win-rate improvement.

Time-savings ratio = annual_time_cost / tier_annual_cost. This shows how the time you currently spend on manual monitoring compares to the subscription price, independent of whether GlobalGov finds you any new contracts. A ratio of 3x means your monitoring hours already cost three times the subscription.

Every output is derived from your inputs and our published tier prices. No industry benchmarks, no invented averages, no optimistic assumptions on our end.

Questions

How the calculator works

How is the break-even number calculated?+
The break-even contract value is your recommended tier's annual cost divided by the win probability you entered. It answers: if GlobalGov surfaces one additional opportunity and you win it at your stated probability, how large does that contract need to be to cover the annual subscription? For example, at 15% win probability and the Essentials plan ($5,988/yr), the break-even is $5,988 / 0.15 = $39,920. Every formula uses only your inputs and our published tier prices.
Does GlobalGov guarantee I will win more contracts?+
No. The win probability in the calculator is your own estimate of your team's bid performance. GlobalGov surfaces opportunities; it does not write your proposals or guarantee outcomes. The calculator shows the mathematical threshold, not a promise.
What is included in each tier?+
Essentials ($499/mo) covers 1 country. Intelligence ($1,250/mo) covers up to 10 countries. Global ($2,499/mo) covers all 200+ countries in the platform. All tiers include full search, alerts, award history, and vendor data. See the pricing page for the complete feature breakdown.
Is there a free trial and is a credit card required?+
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no credit card is required to begin. You can search live data, set alerts, and evaluate coverage before committing to anything.
