Draft the answer with AI

The outline and score are guides only. The buyer's question and marking scheme come first.

Why outline before you write?

Method statement questions are often broad, with a tight word limit. Answers lose marks by missing a topic the evaluator expected, or by spending most of the words on one. An outline with a rough word split shows where the words should go before you start.

How the draft score works

  • Headings covered. Whether the draft touches each topic expected for your sector.
  • Specifics. Numbers, dates and named roles, rather than general claims.
  • Evidence and KPIs. Case study or certificate references, and targets with a number and a timeframe.
  • Risk and mitigation. Risks named and a control or fallback for each.
  • Readability and limit. Sentence length, weak or passive phrasing and compliance with the word limit.

For a broader marking view, try the bid answer grader, and check length with the tender word counter. See method statement examples for how strong answers read. Looking for something to bid on? Browse live UK tenders.

Method statement scorer FAQs

  • What does the method statement scorer do?

    It has two parts. First, you choose a sector and paste the tender question, and it gives you an outline of headings that answers in that sector usually need, the risks buyers tend to probe, evidence to attach and a suggested split of your word limit. Second, if you paste a draft answer, it scores the draft from 0 to 5 against a fixed checklist and lists the three biggest fixes. It does not write your answer.

  • How is the 0-5 score worked out?

    The score comes from eight weighted checks: coverage of expected headings, specific numbers, dates and named roles, evidence and case study references, measurable KPIs, risk and mitigation, plain sentence length, weak or passive phrasing, and word limit compliance. Each check shows what earned or lost points. The rules are fixed, so the same text always gets the same score.

  • Will my draft score the same with the buyer?

    No. This is a rough checklist, not a prediction. Buyers score against their own criteria and marking scheme, and evaluators judge how well you answer the actual question, which a keyword-based tool cannot do. Use the score to spot gaps, then check your answer against the buyer's published scoring guidance.

  • Is my text uploaded or stored anywhere?

    No. The tool runs in your browser using fixed rules. Nothing is uploaded or saved, and no AI model is called. When you close or refresh the page, the text is gone.

  • Should I use every heading in the outline?

    Not necessarily. The headings are typical for the sector, not a requirement. If the buyer gives a structure, a page layout or a marking scheme, follow that first and drop headings the question does not reward. Padding an answer with unasked topics can cost you words you need elsewhere.

  • How does it find my word limit?

    It looks for a number followed by the word 'words' in the question, such as 'maximum 500 words'. It can miss limits given as pages, sides or characters, or stated elsewhere in the pack, so you can type the limit in yourself. Always confirm the limit and how it is counted with the buyer's instructions.
