What problem does it solve? Freelancers and consultants often send proposals that price blind, promise infeasible dates, or leave scope unprotected — leading to underpaid work, scope creep, and lost clients. This Skill turns an understood client problem into a written offer with defensible pricing, three complete scope tiers, and explicit assumptions and change control. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Bid qualification and value anchoring: A risk-reward quadrant decides whether to send a full proposal, a paid discovery engagement, or decline, then anchors pricing to the bottom-up value at stake rather than hours alone. - Three-tier scoping with pricing rules: Builds three complete-outcome tiers with exactly one recommendation, one number per tier, a floor-vs-anchor price check, and a feasibility test (estimate ≤ capacity × 0.8) before any date is promised. - Contract protection and pre-send lint: Adds assumptions, exclusions, numeric revision allowances, change-order process, payment schedule, pause/kill clause, and a 14-day expiry, then runs a 13-point lint checklist before sending. - Use Case: A physiotherapy clinic asks for "a new website." The Skill routes to discovery first, sizes a $6–10k/month missed-call leak, then drafts a two-page proposal with three tiers ($4,800 / $7,900 / $14,500), a recommended middle tier, and calendar dates pinned to client-dependency zero. ## Quick Start Draft a client proposal for the project we scoped last week, with three pricing tiers, a recommended option, timeline, and payment terms.
