Why ORBIT

Thorough, without the overhead.

Heavyweight methods like Shipley are built for teams chasing $100M pursuits — dozens of tasks, color-team reviews, months of runway. ORBIT keeps the parts that actually win and cuts everything a one-person shop can't run.

Keep the rigor

Go/no-go discipline, RFP compliance, and a reusable library — the habits that raise your batting average.

Cut the apparatus

No five-person review chain. One or two focused checkpoints, backed by AI as the reviewer you don't have on staff.

Run it solo

Five plain-English phases, each with a checklist and templates. Built to run in a week and repeat forever.

The five phases

Every contract you win runs the same loop — fast, tactical phases up front feeding the slow, compounding ones.
