Winning work.
WHAT AI HELPS WITH
Structure Turning notes into prose Clarity Consistency across proposals
WHAT IT CANNOT DO
Know the client Know what will win the work Price it
A USEFUL WORKFLOW
Write rough notes: what they need, what you will do, what it costs, why you.
Give the notes to the model and ask for a structured proposal.
Then edit heavily.
WHAT A PROPOSAL NEEDS
Understanding of their problem, stated back to them What you will do, specifically What is included and what is not Timescale Price Why you rather than someone else
THE SCOPE SECTION
The most important. Ask explicitly for an exclusions list.
Ambiguity about scope is what causes disputes.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Send a generated proposal unedited. Clients recognise it, and it signals you did not think about them.
THE PART THAT WINS WORK
Demonstrating you understood their situation. That comes from you.
