1) VisibleThread's new version 2.11 introduces "Extended Discovery" which allows it to detect and analyze multi-word concepts and phrases in documents, beyond single nouns. 2) Extended Discovery compares concepts found in requirements documents like RFPs to concepts addressed in proposals to check compliance. It can identify non-compliant concepts missing from proposals. 3) VisibleThread applies throughout the proposal process - from reviewing RFPs for risk, to developing proposals while analyzing readability and inclusion of key themes, to ensuring compliance and quality control. The webinar demonstrated Extended Discovery's capabilities.

In 2.10, we have a single word noun discovery view.
Works well for acronyms, and extracting single word concepts like ‘security’ etc.
BUTnot able to deal
with multi-word concepts
such as;
- “Liquidated damages”
- “ISO 9000”
- “Archive Data Policy”
- etc.
