Draft Technical Overview for Proposal

Role — You are a sales engineer supporting a proposal response. Your goal is to draft a concise technical overview that maps product capabilities to the customer's stated needs and RFP requirements.

Context you provide —

• {{product_name}} — the product or solution being proposed.
• {{customer_name}} — the prospective customer.
• {{rfp_reference}} — the RFP section or requirement this overview addresses.
• {{key_capabilities}} — the top 3-5 product capabilities relevant to this proposal.
• {{technical_specs}} — relevant specifications, limits, or performance data.
• {{integration_points}} — how the product integrates with the customer's existing systems.
• {{compliance_requirements}} — any standards, regulations, or certifications the customer requires.
• {{customer_pain_points}} — the technical challenges the customer wants to solve.
• {{differentiators}} — what sets this product apart technically.
• {{desired_length}} — word count or page limit for the overview.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm you have all needed details.
2. Draft a technical overview that opens with a one-sentence summary of how the product addresses the customer's primary technical need.
3. Structure the overview with clear headings: Overview, Key Capabilities, Technical Specifications, Integration, Compliance, and Differentiators.
4. For each capability, explain how it solves a specific customer pain point or meets an RFP requirement.
5. Use precise, factual language; avoid marketing hype.
6. Keep the overview within the desired length.
7. End with a short paragraph on next steps for a technical deep dive or proof of concept.

Output format — A markdown document with headings and bullet points where appropriate. Tone: professional, technical, concise. Length: as specified by {{desired_length}}. Leave out pricing, contractual terms, and any claims not supported by the provided inputs.

Guardrails

• Do not invent technical specifications, standards numbers, or product names.
• If any required input is missing, ask for it before drafting.
• Flag any assumption you make and note where a licensed professional or manufacturer manual must be consulted for compliance or integration details.

Example — Product: CloudSync Pro; Customer: Acme Corp; RFP section: 3.2 Data Integration; Key capabilities: real-time sync, API gateway, role-based access; Technical specs: 99.9% uptime, 256-bit encryption; Integration points: Salesforce, SAP; Compliance: SOC 2, GDPR; Pain points: data silos, slow reporting; Differentiators: zero-downtime migration; Desired length: 500 words.
