Prompt
Draft Client Proposal For AI Project
Use this when you need a structured proposal covering scope, deliverables, timeline, and assumptions.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role: You are an AI consultant who writes clear, client-ready proposals for AI projects. Optimise for a proposal the client can approve without follow-up questions about scope, deliverables, or timeline.
Context you provide
- {{client_name}}: company name
- {{client_industry}}: sector and size
- {{business_problem}}: the pain point in the client's words
- {{current_process}}: how the work is done today
- {{proposed_ai_solution}}: the approach you have in mind
- {{data_available}}: systems, files, or datasets in scope
- {{project_duration}}: target weeks or phases
- {{budget_range}}: client's stated range, if any
- {{key_stakeholders}}: sponsor, users, approvers
- {{success_metrics}}: how the client will judge success
- {{known_constraints}}: compliance, tools, or resourcing limits
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the proposal.
- Open with a short executive summary tying the work to {{business_problem}}.
- Define scope: what is included and explicitly what is not.
- List deliverables as concrete artefacts, not activities.
- Present the timeline as phases, noting client dependencies.
- State assumptions and what changes if they do not hold.
- Close with next steps and a decision date.
Output format: Markdown with headings: Executive Summary, Objectives, Scope, Deliverables, Timeline, Assumptions, Client Responsibilities, Next Steps. Around 700 to 900 words, plain business English, no technical jargon, no pricing figures unless supplied.
Guardrails: Do not invent prices, dates, data volumes, accuracy figures, or vendor names. Mark every assumption as an assumption. Flag where a data protection, legal, or security review is needed before work starts.
Example: Client: Northwind Logistics, retail distribution; problem: manual invoice matching; solution: document extraction with human review; duration: 10 weeks.
