Scout Strategic+
Win the captures that matter
For capture-mature teams that treat intel as a strategic advantage and need deep contract, subaward, and protest data to drive go/no-go.
Most teams at this level recover the cost of Scout in a single correctly prioritized pursuit.
- Pull incumbent, vehicle, competitive & award history in one Capture Intelligence Bundle
- Open full PIID dossiers with modifications, obligations & subaward flow
- Run go/no-go with protest patterns & sustain rates by agency, NAICS & vehicle
- Generate 25 on-demand Discovery Reports/mo and try Proposability™
Estimated ROI — typical ranges
Typical ROI for a serious capture/BD team
- Consolidates tools and analyst time that would otherwise cost $3k–$8k+/month (multiple intel subs + ad-hoc research).
- PIID dossiers, subaward flow, and protest patterns reduce go/no-go risk and focus BD on winnable work.
- For a team closing $2M–$10M+ in federal revenue, a single incremental win every 1–2 years justifies multiple years of subscription.

Used by BD & capture teams nationwide
“What SCOUT does is put the kind of competitive and market intelligence in front of BD teams that used to require a career's worth of experience to even know what you needed.”
Teams evaluating Strategic and Strategic+ typically use Scout to prioritize pursuits earlier — before capture dollars are committed.

MCP Pro
Scout Strategic's intelligence, native to your AI
The same intelligence toolset as Scout Strategic — award history, recompete, teaming, policy, and capture — answered on demand over MCP, with briefs and alerts delivered by email. For people who live in ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor and don't want another dashboard to log into.
You get
- Scout Strategic's full intelligence toolset, answered on demand over MCP — award history, recompete pipeline, teaming match, policy intel, protests, budgets, capture bundle, and discovery reports
- High-volume classification and search — rate limits tuned for power users and agents
- Daily briefs, recompete and policy alerts, and scheduled reports delivered to your inbox by email
- Configure everything from your AI client — set brief scope, alert thresholds, and watchlists conversationally over MCP. No dashboard required.
- Native to your AI client — no separate app to open, no context-switching
Not included
- Custom dashboards and the point-and-click pipeline workspace — the visual surface for seeing and steering your pipeline — live in Scout Strategic ($670/mo). You configure Scout over MCP; the dashboards are the part that needs a screen.
- The portal layer itself — the business rules, gates, and guided workflow the Scout web app runs on top of the same engine. It's why Strategic's output is curated where Pro's is model-composed.

How SCOUT is different
Analyzed intelligence, not another data feed.
We built the engine
Most tools rent an AI and point it at a feed. SCOUT is the reasoning engine for the federal market — it reads the market and tells you what to chase and why.
Receipts you can trace
Every call comes with receipts you can trace back to the source — so you can defend a go/no-go, not just trust a black-box score.
Curated, not firehosed
Quality-scored matches against what you actually do — not every posting. Less noise, faster chase / don't-chase calls.
Cost of doing nothing
If your team spends 10 hours/month on manual intel at $100/hour, that's $1,200/month in hidden cost. Over a year, that's $14,400 — enough to fund a Strategic+ plan and still come out ahead, even before counting missed or poorly timed pursuits.
Trusted by Government Contractors Nationwide
Illustrative break-even math buyers use to justify Scout internally — labor savings first, win upside second.
- At $100/hr, 4 saved BD hours/month covers Tactics ($290).
- At $100/hr, 7 saved hours/month covers Strategic ($670) — before counting earlier pursuits.
- One incremental win every 1–2 years at typical federal ACV covers years of Strategic+ — capture infrastructure, not just another RFP tool.

FAQ
How to pick the right package
How do I choose the right SCOUT package?
Start with firm size. Under $10M GovCon revenue: Scout Pilot ($90 for 90 days) gives full Scout Tactics gates and features in the web portal — or subscribe to Tactics to keep going. $10M–$100M: Strategic is the usual fit for recompete pipeline and market signals. $100M+ or multi-stakeholder capture teams: Strategic+ or Premier. If you live in ChatGPT or Claude instead of a dashboard, use Scout MCP (Explorer or Pro).
What is Scout Pilot — $90 for 90 days?
Scout Pilot is SCOUT's paid entry trial with the same gates and features as Scout Tactics in the web portal for 90 days — unlimited search and recompete pipeline, Daily Brief, bid history, agency intelligence, and MCP access during the trial. One $90 payment, no subscription. The first 30 days include support via email or phone, 9am–5pm ET. When the trial ends, convert to Tactics or a higher Platform tier if SCOUT earned a longer commitment.
What is the difference between Scout MCP and Scout Platform?
Scout Platform is the web app — Pilot (90-day Tactics-level trial), Tactics, Strategic, Strategic+, and Premier — with dashboards, search, recompete UI, and Daily Brief. Scout MCP delivers SCOUT inside your AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) via Explorer and Pro. Pilot, Tactics, and above also include MCP access. Same intelligence engine; different delivery surface.
Which package fits a mid-market GovCon firm ($10M–$100M)?
Strategic is the typical fit: recompete pipeline, award context, and policy signals in the Scout web app before you invest in a pursuit. Teams that want a lighter start can begin with Tactics (or Scout Pilot for a 90-day Tactics-level trial); teams that live in an AI client can use MCP Pro for Strategic's intelligence over MCP without the portal.
Can a rep help me pick a plan?
Yes. On the pricing page, use “Contact a rep to help find the best fit.” Tell us your approximate GovCon revenue, whether you prefer the web app or MCP inside ChatGPT/Claude, and your BD workflow — we'll recommend Scout Pilot, a Platform tier, MCP, or Premier.
How do I think about ROI — which tier pays for itself?
Frame Scout as recovered BD time plus better pursuits, not a cost line. At $75–$125/hour fully loaded, Tactics ($290/mo) typically pays for itself at ~4 saved hours/month or one avoided bad pursuit per quarter. Strategic ($670/mo) replaces 10–20 hours/month of market/recompete research for firms pursuing ~$1M–$10M federal revenue. Strategic+ ($1,290/mo) consolidates intel stack and go/no-go depth that would otherwise run $3k–$8k+/month. Use the ROI calculator on the pricing page with your hours and rate — illustrative math only, not a guarantee.
