From pricing model to client decision.

The workflow stays calm: Model, Client, Proposal, Publish. Each step changes the same buyer-facing record.

01

Model the price.

Paste the pricing rows you already trust, or load a compact service starter.

02

Add the client.

Keep the buyer details attached to the quote instead of scattered across email.

03

Shape the proposal.

The buyer-facing document updates while the model and scope change.

04

Publish one link.

Review, save, unlock, and send a proposal with approval and deposit tracking.
