First findings from the 2026 RFP Analysis Report. Across 448 bid teams and sixty minutes on the five benchmarks that predict win rate.
stargazy surveyed 448 bid and proposal teams on what they do in the days before a proposal is drafted, and then tested every activity against their reported 12-month win rate.
This event has ended.

This session presents the five benchmarks behind that result, the population number for each one, and the instrumentation a revenue operations team can put in place at the gate this quarter. Attendees can score their own five benchmarks against the study population during the session.
Simon Cuthbert, co-founder at Arthurian Labs and Christina Carter, founder of stargazy, presents the findings and takes questions live.
Who this is for:
Proposal directors and managers
pursuit professionals
capture leads
bid managers
sales enablement leaders
revenue operations teams who own or influence the bid/no-bid decision
Registration is free, and the recording is sent to everyone who registers.
