## Buyer Signal Analysis

**What Meridian is really buying (read between the lines):**

The stated problem is "compliance reporting is slow and manual." But the RFP reveals three deeper anxieties:

1. **Audit exposure.** Requesting 7-year immutable audit logs and "audit trail on who changed what" signals a recent near-miss or examiner comment. This is an emotional driver, not just a functional one. Lead with audit readiness, not efficiency.

The problem

Cybernetic layers

Memorybyo

Your company knowledge base (past proposals, case studies, pricing, team bios) is the critical memory layer. No harvested skill stores this — maintain it as a local folder or shared drive that you feed in at step 2. Reuse improves with each proposal you add back.

Backgroundnot-applicable

RFP response is a batch, human-triggered job — each RFP arrives as a deadline event. No background loop needed; the session completes in one run per RFP.

Harnessready

Claude Code is the runtime. Drop rfp-responder, proposal, sales-engineer, and brain-in-the-fish into ~/.claude/skills/ and invoke sequentially. Each step passes its output as context to the next.
