Take a look inside Tenderspot with our new interactive example

Try the journey for yourself

We’ve added an interactive example to our How it works page. It gives you a quick way to explore the steps between spotting an interesting project and planning your response.

The example follows a fictional museum film commission through three stages: Find & save, Check the brief, and Plan with Dotty. You can move between them, try saving the sample opportunity and open the brief.

It is a small introduction to the journey, with enough detail to show what each step is for. You can try it on the public page before deciding how you want to explore Tenderspot.

Spot the detail that needs checking

In the sample brief, two closing dates disagree. The “Things to know” panel draws attention to the mismatch and asks you to confirm the right date with the original source.

That is an important habit to build. A useful summary helps you get your bearings, while the buyer’s current documents tell you what you need to submit and when.

The example also shows why it helps to look beyond the headline. Before you start writing, understand the work, your capacity to deliver it and the details that need clarifying.

See how a response plan can start

The final stage shows a prepared Dotty example organised around your idea, your approach and your evidence. It is a starting structure for thinking through the film brief.

Everything in the walkthrough is fictional. Trying it does not save a real opportunity, send an application or make a live AI request. The example budgets are part of the demonstration.

Dotty application help is included with signed-in Founder, Agency and Growth accounts. Review and personalise every draft, and use the original buyer or employer’s route when you are ready to apply.
