What CFCG does, and exactly how an Executive Advisory Brief is built.

No hand-waving, no black box. Here is the full process behind every determination — what data we pull, how it's scored, who reviews it, and what you actually receive.

What We Do

Independent decision support — not proposal writing, not capture.

Cherry Federal Compliance Group answers one question for small federal contractors: is this specific pursuit worth committing bid & proposal resources to? We deliver a documented Go, Conditional-Go, or No-Go determination, backed by evidence pulled from public federal data and your own company profile.

"I'm not reaching out to sell proposal-writing services — CFCG does not write proposals. My role is independent decision support: a Go, Conditional-Go, or No-Go determination.

We're intentionally outside your capture chain. Internal teams are built to pursue opportunities — that's their job. Ours is to independently stress-test the decision before the budget is spent, so the call isn't made on optimism alone.

The Process

From confidential intake to a documented determination

Every engagement — regardless of package — runs through the same seven-stage process.

The Methodology

The models behind the score

Two proprietary instruments, run independently, produce every determination.

Opportunity Fitness Score™

0–100 readiness rating

A composite score built from five weighted factors, each independently evaluated against the opportunity's requirements.

ELigibility Compliance. Past Performance Financial Capacity REadiness

Opportunity Avoidance Index™

Capital protection signal

Starts at zero and accumulates points for each identified risk driver — compliance exposure, regulatory gaps, and red-team findings. A higher score means a stronger recommendation to avoid the pursuit, protecting your capital from a low-probability chase.
