BUSINESS PROPOSAL
The engagement runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review meeting before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · DISCOVERY AND PLANNING
Kickoff workshop, stakeholder interviews, review of existing materials, and a written project plan that defines scope, milestones, roles, and success criteria.
PHASE 2 · EXECUTION
Delivery of the work defined in the project plan, with weekly written status updates, a shared task tracker, and review checkpoints at each milestone.
PHASE 3 · DELIVERY AND HANDOFF
Final deliverables packaged for your team, a closing documentation set, and a handoff session so your team can maintain and extend the work.
Not included: work outside the agreed scope, third-party software licenses, travel expenses, and ongoing support after final delivery. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Business Word template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
