Distil · For engineering and manufacturing firms
Complex proposals, assembled from verified parts.
Distil is a proposal engine for firms that send long techno-commercial proposals: process plant and equipment makers, EPC contractors and machine builders. A rep pastes the enquiry. Distil works out what is being asked for, selects the matching sections from your own approved library, costs them from your rates and assembles a complete proposal in your format, ready for an engineer to check.
How it works.
- 1
Paste the enquiry
An email, a datasheet or a tender. Distil reads it and lists what the client is asking for.
- 2
Select the scope
The matching sections, equipment and options are chosen from your approved library, by your rules.
- 3
Cost it
Every price comes from your own cost master and rates, in the proposal's currency.
- 4
Assemble
A complete proposal in your format, with all its annexures, as PDF or Word.
- 5
Check and issue
An engineer reviews the draft, adjusts what needs judgement, and issues the client version.
What Distil does.
Reads any enquiry
Emails, datasheets and tenders in different layouts, with anything unclear flagged for a person.
Your library, your rules
Sections, specifications and makes come from content your engineers have approved.
Costing from your rates
Line items are priced from your cost master, with currency handled properly.
Every figure traceable
Each number in the proposal can be traced to the rule or rate it came from.
Stops when it should
If something does not add up, the proposal is held back with the reason, not sent with a guess.
Your format, every time
Proposals come out in your house layout, with clean client versions and internal drafts kept apart.
How it is built.
The model writes words, not numbers
An LLM reads enquiries and re-words approved text. It never sets a price, a quantity, a specification or a make.
Your knowledge stays yours
Your past proposals, rates and engineering content are yours alone. Distil runs on your data and never shares it.
Engineers stay in charge
Distil prepares the draft. An engineer checks and issues it.
Who it is for.
- Process plant and equipment manufacturers
- EPC contractors with detailed technical bids
- Machine builders and packaging line suppliers
- Any firm where a proposal takes days and depends on a few senior people
Getting started
Start with a free trial. Send us one recent enquiry and a past proposal for similar scope, and we show you the proposal Distil assembles. If it is useful, we set it up on your own approved content and rates; your data is never shared with anyone else.

Does an LLM set our prices?
No. Prices, quantities, specifications and makes come from your rules and rates. The model only reads enquiries and helps with wording.
Do we need to rewrite our proposals first?
No. We start from your past proposals and approved content, and turn them into a library your team keeps up to date.
Is our data used for anyone else?
Never. Each firm's library, rates and proposals are its own.
What formats does it produce?
PDF and Word, in your layout, with a clean client version and an internal draft.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Send one recent enquiry and a past proposal for similar scope, and we show you what Distil produces from it, at no cost.
