What are the most important RFP software features?
Building a requirements checklist for our eval and I don't want to pad it with features that don't matter. What are the handful that actually make a difference day to day?

honestly the ones that saved us most: grounded ai answers with citations, auto flagging of stale/dupe content, and reuse on repeat questions

The features that earned their keep for us were grounded AI answers with sources, automatic content governance, semantic matching to reuse past answers, SME routing, and solid integrations. Worth noting the AI ones land differently depending on architecture: Inventive AI is AI-first so those are central, while Loopio and Responsive add AI onto strong traditional workflow management. Add security (SSO, RBAC, audit logs) if you're near enterprise, and export that keeps the buyer's formatting.
