About this template

Proposals are graded by readers who never tell you the grade. This review form puts the draft in front of chosen reviewers — internal red-team or, post-submission, the client themselves — capturing structured answers: Is the problem understood? Does the solution follow? Where is the price uncomfortable? Which objection will they raise? The collected feedback becomes the revision list before stakes get real, and reviewer patterns expose systemic proposal weaknesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a proposal review form?
A structured feedback collection on a draft or submitted proposal — clarity, problem fit, price reaction and predicted objections — from internal reviewers or the client.
Can the client really fill this?
Late-stage, some will — 'what would make this easier to approve' is a welcome question; the internal red-team mode is the default.
Is the Proposal Review Form free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace and clone per proposal.
Does it score the proposal?
No weighting — consensus across reviewers is the signal; repeated flags on one section are your fix list.
How is this different from win/loss?
This asks before the stakes are final; the related Deal Retro Review dissects after. Use both and the learning loop closes.
