## For agents

Compare agents for a permitted GovCon document task

- A named task, reviewer and organization-approved model endpoint and agent candidates.

- A free G2X account for manual opportunity research and permitted public documents; AI execution requires access and separate authorization in the chosen service.

1. **Define the output and approved candidates** Ask what the capture or delivery team needs to decide. Name the reviewer and approved agent/model combinations, including their versions and permitted processing destinations. Use current upstream documentation to check each connection; do not infer that every model works in every agent. Do not configure infrastructure or request credentials.

2. **Choose a public packet in G2X** Open G2X federal opportunities, find a relevant record and follow the original notice. Record the exact attachment names, dates, amendments and source URLs. Use only documents permitted in the selected workspace. A free account supports the manual research path. Do not invent a search result or claim a demonstration ran. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/docs/find-work/read-a-sam-opportunity)

3. **Prepare the same task for each candidate** With separate authorization to execute, use this illustrative prompt: Review the supplied public solicitation packet. Prepare a brief for the delivery manager covering scope, staffing and performance conditions, submission requirements and unresolved questions. Cite each material claim by document and page or section. Identify missing files and conflicting instructions. Do not assume our company meets the requirements. Keep tools limited to the approved reading and drafting task.

4. **Use G2X Lumen for an approved G2X workflow** For work permitted in G2X, supply the opportunity context and upload authorized documents to Lumen. Ask it to identify qualification gaps and help plan a response, with citations. Treat this as a separate service choice, not a deployment in the reader's GovCloud or GCC environment. A free manual research path remains available without AI execution. [Open in G2X](https://g2x.com/docs/lumen/ask-a-good-question)

5. **Compare reviewed outcomes** Check the output against the original files. Record material omissions, unsupported claims, reviewer time and observed costs where available. Have the service owner confirm authentication, model/tool behavior, transcripts, extensions and network destinations. Return observed results separately from documented or untested capabilities; recommend only within the approved scope.

Expected result: An agent/model comparison for one public-document task, with exact versions and endpoints, source-cited results, reviewer corrections, operating owner and unresolved compatibility questions.
