5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data includes at least one of unstructured data and free text data.
1. A system for analyzing a first request for proposal from among a plurality of requests for proposal, the system comprising: an associative memory including a plurality of data, the plurality of data comprising at least one of the group consisting of data for the plurality of requests for proposal, data related to successful proposal bid activities, and data related to unsuccessful proposal bid activities, the plurality of data having a plurality of associations, and being collected into associated units of data, wherein the associative memory is configured to be queried based on at least one relationship selected from the group consisting of direct relationships and indirect relationships among the plurality of data, and wherein the associative memory further includes a content-addressable structure; an input device in communication with the associative memory, wherein the input device is configured to provide the first request for proposal to the associative memory in a format understandable to the associative memory, and wherein the associative memory is configured to digest the first request for proposal to be included within the plurality of data, wherein a digested request for proposal is formed; and an analyzer in communication with the associative memory, wherein the analyzer is configured to analyze the digested request for proposal by receiving a query comprising one or more terms, creating relationships among the plurality of data in the associative memory based on the query, and returning an output that includes requirements or other attributes presented in the digested request for proposal based on the query; wherein the analyzer is further configured to compare the digested request for proposal to a previously received second request for proposal to form a first comparison, and wherein the analyzer is further configured to modify the output based on the first comparison to form a first modified output; and wherein the analyzer is further configured to compare the digested request for proposal to a previous response to the previously received second request for proposal to form a second comparison, and wherein the analyzer is further configured to modify the output based on the second comparison to form a second modified output.
