Official FAQ
- We already have someone who writes our bids. Why would we need Skim?
- Skim is not a replacement for a bid lead — it is the leverage layer underneath them. The agent sources opportunities across UK and EU portals, scores fit before they invest a day on a no-hoper, drafts first-pass responses against the buyer's marking scheme, and reviews drafts for the points that lose on quality. Your bid lead stops being a writer and starts being an editor with a 40-year veteran i
- How does Skim avoid generic, hallucinated AI bid responses?
- Drafts are grounded in your own case studies, accreditations, methodologies and past wins — not a generic LLM guess. Every response is scored against the buyer's published evaluation criteria, and the Skim bid team reviews high-value drafts with you on the weekly call. The bar is a bid your reviewer would sign off, not a bid that looks plausible.
- How does Skim handle our commercial data and bid content?
- Your bid library, case studies and pipeline are scoped to your workspace. Skim does not train public models on your content, and contractual data-handling terms are reviewed at onboarding for Enterprise customers. Security-led onboarding, role-based permissions and audit trails are included on the Enterprise tier; SSO is available on request.
- How quickly will Skim pay for itself?
- Public sector contracts for SMEs typically sit in the £40k–£500k+ range. One additional win pays for a year of Growth several times over. The faster compounding effect is on the bids you don't write: most customers walk away from 30–40% more opportunities once fit scoring is in place, which frees the team to put serious effort into the bids worth winning.
- Is there a contract commitment?
- No long-term lock-in. Monthly plans run month-to-month and can be cancelled before the next billing date. Yearly plans are billed upfront with a 15% discount and run for twelve months. You can switch plans at any time, with the change taking effect from the next billing cycle.
- Is there a free tier?
- Yes — the Skim Advisor agent is free in beta, with limited weekly capacity. Advisor is the AI you talk to: ask it competitor analysis questions, dig into buyer intelligence, search award notice data, study brand and market positioning, and search public-sector opportunities across UK and EU. Sign up free and start using it straight away. For the full Skim platform — pipeline review, opportunity fi
