A focused team assigned to your engagement.

MODERN PROPOSAL
The engagement runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review call before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · DISCOVERY + PLANNING
Kickoff workshop, stakeholder interviews, requirements gathering, and a written project plan with milestones, owners, and success criteria.
PHASE 2 · EXECUTION
Delivery against the project plan with weekly written updates, working sessions as needed, and iterative reviews so we stay aligned throughout.
PHASE 3 · DELIVERY + HANDOFF
Final deliverables, documentation, and a handoff session with your team so ownership transfers cleanly and nothing is left ambiguous.
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 Modern Proposal 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.
