How it works

Seven checks: their words, quantified problem, outcomes over deliverables, evidence per claim, priced options, a decision-process close, and a one-page standalone executive summary.

Score 0–2 each. Any check at 0–1 becomes a rewrite priority, ranked.

If a strong proposal still lost, the problem is upstream — qualification or the decision process — and this tool will tell you.

Worked example

A lost ₹40 L proposal scores 5/14: three chapters about the vendor, zero quantified problem, one take-it-or-leave-it price. The rewrite opens with the buyer's ₹2.1 Cr downtime problem in their own words, offers three priced options — and the next comparable deal closes.

Illustrative figures, not a client outcome.

Questions, answered

How long should a proposal be?

As long as the decision requires and no longer. The executive summary must stand alone on one page — that's the page that gets forwarded.

Why priced options?

One price invites a yes/no on you; three options invite a choice between versions of yes. Options also reveal what the buyer actually values.
