Operator guidance
What this means in QuoterAgent
Use this guide as the operating reference for Getting Started: workspace setup and first value. It explains what this surface controls, what good execution looks like, and which teams should keep it trustworthy over time.
- This overview explains the minimum setup needed before your team starts active proposal production.
- Weak setup creates inconsistent proposals and slows operator speed. Strong setup gives consistent structure from day one.
- Primary owners currently covering this area: Product, Growth, Support.
What to do
Treat this as a working checklist, not background reading. Use it before you change settings, publish external material, or hand work to another operator.
- Use this guide during initial rollout, when onboarding new operators, or when workspace settings drift.
- After setup, move into brand governance, templates, and first proposal authoring in sequence.
- Open the Brand Kit guide and apply buyer-facing standards.
- Set proposal defaults in Templates before building your first live proposal.
Where it shows up in the workflow
This guide matters most when work moves between setup, authoring, buyer delivery, and post-sign execution. Use the linked guides to follow the full path instead of solving one surface in isolation.
- Setup quality directly affects Brand Kit behavior, template defaults, and how quickly your first proposal reaches send readiness.
- Review the related guide "Brand Kit: buyer trust signals and proposal identity" when this step depends on another surface.
- Review the related guide "Templates: reusable proposal architecture and defaults" when this step depends on another surface.
- Use "Brand Kit: buyer trust signals and proposal identity" as the next guided step after this page.
Common failure modes and risks
Most quality problems here come from drift: outdated setup, weak commercial boundaries, or teams skipping the review moment before customer-visible delivery. Use these signals to catch issues before they reach the buyer.
