Northwind Studio
PROJECT PROPOSAL
The project runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable your team signs off before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · PLANNING
Requirements gathering, stakeholder alignment, and a written project plan with milestones, roles, and success criteria. Closes with a signed plan and a scheduled kickoff.
PHASE 2 · EXECUTION
The core of the project. Weekly progress notes, milestone reviews, and change tracking so scope stays clear. Closes with a working delivery ready for review.
PHASE 3 · DELIVERY
Final delivery, documentation, and a handoff session. Includes a short support window for small changes without opening new scope.
Not included: third-party fees, licenses, hosting or infrastructure costs, and work outside the scope above. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Project Proposal template is a five-page document for scoping and selling a defined project. It runs from a cover page through a project overview with timeline, team, and milestone stat cards, a three-phase scope of work — scope and kickoff, build and iterate, ship and hand over — an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is the workhorse format: adjust the milestones, rewrite the deliverables per phase, and reprice the fee rows in Bonsai while merge fields keep the client and date current. Save your edited version and start every new project from it.
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.
Fixed price or time and materials? Both work — use fixed rows for a lump-sum quote, or rate-times-quantity rows for T&M, and the total computes either way.
