Quote Sheet

When to use

• A freelancer (design / dev / consulting / photography) needs to send a formal quote to a client
• A small business needs to quote a B2B client for a product + service bundle
• A price was discussed verbally and now needs a formal document locking in price and scope
• You want to raise prices but don't know how to say it or get clients to accept it
• Quotes keep getting negotiated down to unprofitable — time to build your own pricing system

Workflow

1. Break down the work, no black boxes

• Input: the user's description of deliverables and scope
• Action: split into line items the client can understand, each with a clear delivery standard; "misc fees" and "package price" black boxes must be unpacked or deleted
• Output: itemized list (item / spec / delivery standard)

1. Cost it before you price it

• Input: itemized list + the user's time cost, outsourcing cost, tax situation
• Action: cost each line (hours × rate + outsourcing + tax + 10% risk buffer), then set client-facing prices with margin in full view
• Output: internal cost sheet (never shown to the client) + client-facing unit prices

1. Write the total with a price anchor

• Input: unit prices and quantities
• Action: total it up and make it prominent; for discounts, show "was → now" instead of just quoting low — it protects your next quote
• Output: subtotal lines + bold total + discount note (if any)

1. Set the terms: how money moves, how long the price stands

• Input: total, project timeline, user preference
• Action: spell out payment terms (deposit % / milestone / final payment triggers), validity (usually 15–30 days), and exclusions (what's explicitly NOT included)
• Output: payment terms + validity + exclusion list

1. Add the "never-lose-money" playbook

• Input: everything above
• Action: recommend three tiers (basic / recommended / flagship) steering clients to the middle; write revision limits and rush-fee rates into the notes
• Output: three-tier proposal + loss-prevention clauses

1. Produce the final draft

• Input: line items, totals, terms, playbook notes
• Action: assemble per template.md into a client-ready quote; double-check the math
• Output: complete markdown quote (with signature block: quoted by / date / contact placeholder)

Output spec

• Line items in a table: item / spec / unit price / quantity / subtotal; total on its own bolded line
• Payment terms, validity, and exclusions are all mandatory — missing one is a fail
• Formal, plain language — no industry jargon; a non-expert client can see where every cent goes
• Validity must be followed by a repricing note, e.g. "Prices may change after expiry without notice"
• Signature block includes quoted-by, date, and contact place
