A clearer next step.
Use this to collect requirements before requesting a quote or preparing a proposal. Specify environments, supported workflows, acceptance tests and post-handover responsibilities. Avoid leaving maintenance or third-party costs implicit. A brief describes what is needed; the proposal sets out how a supplier plans to deliver it.
