Buyer Journey

Clarity for the Tier 2–4 Supplier

One Defence bid win covers 10× your annual Clarity cost. Structured, traceable MBSE artefacts — from your ConOps, in hours, not months, without a systems engineer specialist.

The problem you’re living right now

Your RFQ closes in four weeks. The prime requires a formal requirements trace, an architecture baseline, and an MBSE evidence pack. Your team has never produced these — the standard approach is to outsource to a systems engineer consultant at AUD $2,900–5,900 per day, and there isn’t time or budget.

You’re competing against firms that already have this capability in-house. Sixty to eighty percent of engineering SMBs use Office and SharePoint. They lose bids not because their engineering is weak, but because their MBSE artefacts are weak.

Legacy tooling costs AUD $9,500–28,500 per user per year, requires three to six months of implementation, and needs a systems engineer to operate. None of these are possible at SMB scale, inside a four-week bid window.

What Clarity does for you

AI generation from your ConOps — no specialist required. Upload your Concept of Operations document. Clarity’s 325 AI agents extract L0 entities, generate the L1 architecture, produce L2 trade options, run L3 analysis, capture the L4 baseline, and record the L5 decision. The full chain, in hours. You do not need a SysML specialist to operate it. You do not need Cameo or DOORS.

Scope-matrix reporting for compliance evidence packs. ISO 15288, AS9100, and MIL-STD-973 presets are built in. A formatted compliance evidence pack — requirements trace, architecture baseline, decision record — is generated from the live digital thread in minutes, not weeks. The document is a computed projection from the model; it cannot drift from the engineering reality.

Pricing that makes sense at SMB scale. Free tier: three users, one product, full L0–L5 model, all features, throttled AI generation — no credit card, start today. Professional tier: AUD $750–3,000 per user per year. Compared to AUD $9,500–28,500 for legacy tooling, that is a five-to-ten-times cost reduction before accounting for implementation cost, training, or the specialist you no longer need to hire.

The ROI is a single bid outcome. One additional Defence bid win at AUD $1M+ delivers ten times the annual Clarity contract cost. The tool pays for itself the first time it helps you win a bid you would otherwise have lost on artefact quality.

Why this matters specifically to you

The consequences of weak MBSE artefacts are concrete:

  • Bid loss — primes eliminate suppliers at the prequalification stage based on artefact quality, before the technical evaluation begins
  • Contract clause exposure — contracts increasingly specify MBSE evidence pack requirements; gaps create post-award disputes
  • Audit risk — AS9100 and ISO 13485 audits require traceability from requirements to verification; manually assembled evidence packs have gaps that auditors find
  • Consultant dependency — outsourcing MBSE to consultants at $3,000–6,000 per day destroys margin on every programme and creates a knowledge gap inside your firm

Clarity eliminates each of these without requiring headcount growth or specialist hiring.

How it works

  • Start in minutes. Create a free account at compliancewithclarity.com. No credit card. No infrastructure to set up. Browser-based — no client software.
  • Upload your ConOps or any source document. Clarity extracts L0 entities (stakeholders, requirements, constraints, assumptions) via AI, schema-validated before you review them.
  • Generate the Lx chain. L1 architecture, L2 options, L3 scenario analysis, L4 configuration baseline, L5 decision record — each layer generated from the previous one. Every output is schema-validated; no hallucinated content enters the model without human review.
  • Generate compliance reports. Select the standard preset (ISO 15288, AS9100, MIL-STD-973). Reports are generated from the live model — always accurate, always current, always traceable to the entities that produced them.
  • Export and submit. The output is open JSON. Reports are formatted HTML or PDF. No proprietary format. No licence required to read your data after the bid is closed.
