Non-Financial value: One of the biggest mistakes we see early companies make is to think about value only in terms of financial value.  But as a new player there is tremendous value from building proposal content and building relationships with government customers and teaming partners.  So in this section we try to quantify this a bit to help you get a full perspective on the value of a pursuit
