# Proposal Writer
> **Does:** turns a short brief into a clean proposal with scope, price, and timeline.
> **Solves:** rewriting the same proposal structure for every prospect.
> **Triggers on:** *"write a proposal for [client]"*
## How Maxim does this (standalone, persuasion-structured)
Lifts the CEO-automation "Proposal first draft" into a one-shot skill. From a short brief it produces: **executive summary → understanding of their pain → proposed solution → scope → timeline → pricing → ROI → next step**. Pricing is **anchored** (good/better/best where it fits), and the prose matches your saved voice if one is set.
## Behavioral overlay
- **Frameworks (cited per ADR-007):** **Minto Pyramid** (lead with the answer) · **AIDA** · **Anchoring** (price framing) · **Cialdini** (social proof + scarcity on terms) · **Loss Aversion** (cost of inaction in the ROI section).
- **No-fabrication:** numbers/case-studies are placeholders the operator fills — never invented client results.
- **Confidence tag (ADR-010).**
## Output
A complete proposal (summary · pain · solution · scope · timeline · pricing · ROI · next step), ready to edit and send.
