WORK PROPOSAL
The engagement runs in three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable your team signs off before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · DISCOVERY
Kickoff, stakeholder interviews, and a written plan with milestones, roles, and success criteria for the work.
PHASE 2 · DELIVERY
The core of the engagement. Weekly written status, milestone reviews, and change tracking so scope stays clear.
PHASE 3 · HANDOFF
Final delivery, documentation, and a handoff session with your team. Includes a short post-delivery support window.
Not included: third-party fees, licenses, hosting or infrastructure costs, and any work outside the scope above. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Work Proposal template is a five-page document for putting any piece of work on paper before it starts. It carries a work overview with duration, team, and deliverable stat cards, the objectives, a three-phase scope — understand and plan, do the work, ship and hand over — 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.
When should I use this over a project proposal? Use this for smaller or ongoing work where a milestone-driven project structure would be overkill — same rigor, lighter framing.
