Proposal review checklist

Proposal Review Checklist

A proposal review checklist helps teams inspect scope, facts, pricing, legal and security topics, caveats, and client handoff before a proposal is sent.

Checklist scope

Review the proposal before it becomes client-facing

Proposal review should keep the commercial record, source material, assumptions, and client handoff visible while source material remains authoritative. The checklist is a structured review aid, not a replacement for the owner making the send decision.

01

Confirm the scope, deliverables, exclusions, and dependencies are clear enough for review.

02

Check facts against source material and mark source gaps as caveats or missing inputs.

03

Review pricing, commercial terms, timeline, legal, security, and compliance topics with the right owners.

Quoter Brief relationship

Plan Preview gives the checklist a planning context

A Quoter Brief helps define the proposal structure before drafting. Plan Preview then gives the operator a reviewable plan for missing inputs, caveats, source boundaries, and commercial assumptions.

01

Use Plan Preview before drafting to inspect proposal shape and review needs.

02

Keep missing inputs as prompts for follow-up, not as hidden assumptions.

03

Use the final review to check client handoff and send notes before delivery.

Proposal Review Checklist

A proposal review checklist is a pre-send review aid. In QuoterAgent, it connects to Quoter Briefs and Plan Preview so scope, facts, pricing, caveats, and handoff checks stay explicit before drafting and delivery.
