The ways teams lose bids before they even submit
Three ways a bid fails before anyone reads the answers. Lucius reads for all three before the document leaves your team.
The missed site meeting
A compulsory briefing on page 2 goes unread, and the bid is over before it starts. Lucius lists the dates and mandatory attendance requirements it finds up front, each with its page.
The buried clause
A local-content or eligibility rule sits in an annexure on page 140 and disqualifies the whole submission. Lucius reads the annexes as carefully as the front matter.
The unpriced line item
One row missed in a 200-page bill of quantities breaks the whole priced schedule. Lucius extracts the BOQ line by line, each item with its page, ready to price.

A 44-page municipal tender, from the notice to the first draft
The bid call for a sample company, 668 requirements quoted with their pages, a question to Lucius and the first draft. 57 seconds; the waits are sped up and marked. Watch the full demo with sound (3 min)
Measured, not claimed
An invented citation is a dealbreaker in regulated procurement. These are counts from our own tests and from runs on public tender documents, each with what it measured and when.

planted instructions caught
Gemini and Prompt Shields together, in our own test on 4 Nov 2026: 330 public tender pages, 48 of them with a hidden instruction planted in the text. No false alarms on the other 282.

quotes matched the source page word for word
In one analysis of a 13-file public tender pack on 5 Nov 2026. The other 52 are shown to the user marked "Quote not verified", to check against the page.
US Army Reserve Design/Build RFP · 91 pages
184 requirements
173 verified word for word against the source text. The contradiction check also flagged the same contract line number assigned to two different work items, the kind of conflict that invalidates a priced schedule.

354 requirements
Each one cited to its page and clause, so a bid team can open the exact passage instead of trusting a summary.
Read
Every document you upload, annexes included, in overlapping passes. A preview that covers only the first pages says how many.
Verify
Each requirement is checked back against the source text. A quote Lucius cannot find on its cited page is marked unverified, never shown as verified.
Cite
Rows name the page they came from, and in a PDF open the source at that page. In a Word file, where pages can shift, the page is marked as approximate.
Who uses it
Bid teams in construction and civil works, logistics, healthcare and government services, bidding across the UK, Ireland, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the EU and India, and on World Bank funded tenders across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Pharmaceutical group
A EUR 500M pharmaceutical group bought its first tender within minutes.
Exporter, September 2026
An Indian exporter bidding a World Bank funded water pumping tender in Niger asked whether Lucius could build the bilingual submission index for a 54-document DAO, French as printed with English underneath, each item cited to its page and marked mandatory or conditional. Two hours later it was in their workspace, with an Excel export in both languages and 13 items their own list had missed.

Where your documents go
Hosted on Google Cloud in the EU
Production runs in Belgium, with a dedicated Australian deployment on request. Encrypted in transit and at rest.
Checks on Microsoft Azure
Azure checks each tender pack for planted instructions, gives the bid call a second check and reads scanned PDFs. On by default for workspaces created from 5 November 2026 and for all workspaces from 5 December 2026, except workspaces that require Google-only processing. A workspace admin can turn them off at any time.
574 of 574 calls to the Azure checks service succeeded in a load run on 23 public tender packs on 5 Nov 2026 (482 Prompt Shields checks, 69 document scans, 23 second checks).
No certificate of our own yet
The Google Cloud services Lucius runs on carry Google's ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Lucius itself is not certified yet, and Cyber Essentials is in preparation.
