Write a consulting engagement proposal. Use when a consultant says "write me a proposal", "draft a proposal for [your client]", "I need to send a proposal", "how do I structure a proposal", "client wants a SOW", "write a statement of work", "I need to propose a project", or "help me price and scope this engagement". Also trigger when someone describes a client conversation that ended with "send me something in writing".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Overview

Based on **"The Consulting Bible"** by Alan Weiss and **"Flawless Consulting"** by Peter Block. A proposal is not a scope document - it is a business case. The client must see their problem clearly, understand why your approach solves it, and see the value of solving it before they encounter the investment. Sequence matters: value before price, always.

The fatal mistake is leading with methodology. Clients do not buy methodology - they buy outcomes. Every section of the proposal must connect to business value.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Confirm the Business Outcomes

Before writing a word, confirm the three levels Weiss calls the "business outcomes hierarchy":

- **Business outcomes** - measurable results for the organization (revenue, cost, speed, quality)
- **Personal outcomes** - what this means for the sponsor's career, reputation, or goals
- **Relationship outcomes** - what a successful engagement means for the client-consultant relationship

If you cannot name at least two business outcomes and one personal outcome, go back and ask. A proposal without clear outcomes is a scope document - it invites line-item negotiation and price pressure.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/client-proposal@sha256:262d2e4c6bff8716

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.508e8a6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
