Risks

  • high Incomplete scope due to truncated source documents
    Mitigation: Request full RFP and clarification before bidding; base proposal on available notice.
  • medium Client expects in-person workshops
    Mitigation: Propose hybrid approach; budget for travel and on-site facilitation.
  • medium Municipal procurement compliance
    Mitigation: Follow Form A and electronic submission instructions; review all mandatory requirements.
  • medium Small shop lacks large reference contracts
    Mitigation: Emphasize AI-agent-first methodology and relevant expertise; provide case studies.
  • medium AI-generated requirements may miss tacit knowledge
    Mitigation: Use human-facilitated workshops and validation gates.

    Mitigation: Plan AI-assisted drafting immediately after award; use parallel workstreams.

Human roles needed

  • Contract signatory / accountable executive · 5% — Legal and financial accountability cannot be delegated to AI.
  • Workshop facilitator / stakeholder engagement lead · 35% — Client workshops and interviews require a human presence and relationship trust.
  • Requirements validator / QA · 30% — AI drafts must be reviewed and approved by a human with domain expertise.
  • Project manager / client liaison · 30% — Ongoing communication, issue resolution, and delivery management need a human.

Why not more AI

  • Cannot attend or facilitate in-person client workshops.
  • Cannot sign contracts or take legal/financial accountability.
  • Cannot build trust with municipal stakeholders.
  • May produce inaccurate requirements if source documents are incomplete or truncated.
  • Cannot make final decisions on strategy trade-offs.

Suggested delivery stack

  • Use a secure AI workspace (e.g., ChatGPT Enterprise or Claude with zero-retention) for drafting and synthesis.
  • Use a requirements management tool (Jira/Confluence/Notion) with AI plugins for traceability.
  • Use Python/pandas for any analysis of asset/work management data.
  • Use Mermaid or Lucidchart for process mapping and diagrams.
  • Use Gamma or PowerPoint with AI for presentation generation.
  • Use a project management tool (Asana/Linear) for tracking and client communication.
