WRITING / WORKFLOW 02
Shape a client brief into a clear proposal without inventing scope, costs, or commitments.
Separate what the client requested from your assumptions. Include the exact commitments already made.
Describe how a deliverable will be reviewed and accepted. Vague scope becomes a vague proposal.
Ask for a structure that makes assumptions, dependencies, and exclusions easy to find.
Check every date, price, and promise before sending. Replace placeholders only with approved terms.
IN PRACTICE / ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Illustrative input: a small service business needs a searchable resource hub. The proposal should describe the agreed content migration and search experience, and leave hosting and maintenance terms for confirmation.
