Journey fit
Labor ceiling benchmarks directly inform whether your proposed rates are competitive before you build proposal automation. Pricing is the canonical shelf because CALC+ answers “what did the government already pay for this labor category?” not generic code generation.
How it compares
MCP bridge to GSA CALC+ award data, not a full proposal-writing skill or ERP.
