Read like the buyer who's looking for a reason to say no.
The tool that stress-tests your proposal against what the buyer actually decides on: the unaddressed objection, the price that lands before the value does, and whoever else has to say yes after you leave the room.
Most proposal review is copyediting: tighten the language, check the logo placement. That's not what decides the deal. A buyer is running a specific, often unstated checklist: does this understand my real problem, is the price justified, what happens if it goes wrong, who else signs off.
This tool reads the proposal the way a skeptical buyer does, finds the specific place it fails to earn the next step, and tells you what to fix before you send it, not after you lose the deal wondering why.
Same proposal, read the way the buyer actually reads it.
Same document, same deal, run two ways.
A consultant is sending a $45k proposal for a six-month operations overhaul. The main contact is the VP of Operations; the CFO controls budget approval.
You ask Claude to review the proposal. You get feedback on clarity and tone, maybe a suggestion to tighten the executive summary.
The proposal reads better and still doesn't address the CFO's actual question, whether this pays for itself, because nothing in the review was checking for that specifically.
It reads the proposal against what this specific buyer decides on:
- →Price appears before any specific value is established: reorder, don't just add more justification after
- →No ROI framing anywhere, and a CFO sits in the approval chain
- →Ends with "happy to discuss further" instead of a specific next action
The rewrite adds the missing ROI framing, a one-paragraph executive summary the VP can forward to the CFO with no added context, and a specific proposed date for a decision call instead of an open-ended close.
The cold version made it read better. This made it answer the question that actually decides the deal.

Before you buy.
How is this different from just asking Claude directly?
Asked cold, Claude reviews a proposal for clarity and tone. This checks it against the buyer's actual decision criteria, finds the unaddressed objection and the price-ordering problem, and flags whether it gives a second decision-maker anything to defend the deal on their own.
Will this work with ChatGPT, Gemini, and other LLMs?
Yes. You get a native Claude Skill (.zip) that auto-invokes in Claude, plus a plain .md you can paste into a ChatGPT Custom GPT, a Gemini system prompt, or any LLM. The procedure travels with the file.

Proposal Review is a strategic document review tool. Not a guarantee of a specific close rate, which depends on relationship, timing, and fit as much as document quality.
