Q: How do you standardize RFP artifacts when Gotham integration is a mandatory evaluation criterion?

## Direct Answer To standardize RFP artifacts when Gotham integration is a mandatory evaluation criterion, focus on **one measurable outcome**, a **single owner** (RevOps or revenue ops), and a **CRM-native implementation** so reporting stays honest. Document the current state, define 3–5 fields or reports that prove progress, pilot on one segment, then scale. **Steps:** audit tools and data → design the workflow → automate only what is validated manually → train the team → review weekly against a Pulse metric (conversion, cycle time, or data quality). ```mermaid flowchart TD A[Audit current state] --> B[Define CRM fields and reports] B --> C[Pilot one team or segment] C --> D[Automate validated steps] D --> E[Measure and iterate] ``` ## What good looks like - Clear definition of done (e.g. field fill rate, sequence enrollment, forecast accuracy). - No shadow spreadsheets — source of truth stays in CRM or your RevOps stack. - Rollback plan if automation misfires. ## Common mistakes - Automating before the process works manually. - Skipping data hygiene (duplicates, bad titles, missing owners). - Measuring activity instead of revenue outcomes. ## Bottom line Treat this as **RevOps product work**: small bets, CRM-first, measurable wins.

To standardize RFP artifacts when Gotham integration is a mandatory evaluation criterion, focus on one measurable outcome, a single owner (RevOps or revenue ops), and a CRM-native implementation so reporting stays honest. Document the current state, define 3–5 fields or reports that prove progress, pilot on one segment, then scale.

Steps: audit tools and data → design the workflow → automate only what is validated manually → train the team → review weekly against a Pulse metric (conversion, cycle time, or data quality).
