Contextual Search - AI-Powered RFP Document Search
Ask any question. Find the right clause - instantly.
ContraVault AI transforms RFPs into searchable knowledge, so your team can get precise answers with citations, not endless Ctrl+F scrolls.
The Challenges
Manual pre-bid clarifications slow down pursuit teams and leave critical issues unresolved:
Ctrl+F isn't enough
RFPs use inconsistent language — "LDs" in one place, "Liquidated Damages" in another, "penalty" elsewhere. Keyword search misses context.
Lost traceability
Even when answers are found, teams struggle to show where it came from — leaving decisions hard to defend.
Time wasted hunting clauses
Estimators, legal teams, and PMs burn hours locating payment terms, insurance riders, or safety requirements across thousands of pages.
Missed nuances lead to risk
Simple keyword hits ignore qualifiers (e.g., LD caps, schedule exceptions, or insurance endorsements). Teams miss the fine print.
What Makes Our Contextual Search Unique
Built for AEC, tailored for precision - every decision backed by logic, not guesswork.
Meaning > Keywords
AI understands context, not just word matches — so "LDs," "liquidated damages," and "penalty clauses" all surface the same result.
Page-Level Citations
Every answer links directly back to the clause and page - defensible in audits and internal reviews.
Interpretation Layer
Goes beyond "finding text" - explains what a clause means in plain English.
Follow-Up Ready
Users can click on a clause and ask layered follow-up questions ("What's the cap?", "Does this apply to subcontractors?").
Suggested Questions
AI recommends what to ask based on the section you're in (e.g., insurance, payment, safety).
