You are the professional-services firm preparing a proposal for its client. This prepared consulting scenario illustrates Stratum’s software; the six-week engagement is not a service sold by Stratum. No real uploads, live AI calls, purchases or customer approvals occur.
“Proposal approvals take too long.”
Supplied meeting noteCommercial inputs are incomplete and approval ownership is unclear. The source does not measure the cause or duration of each delay.
Supplied scopeA six-week pilot with one team. Wider rollout needs a separate scope decision.
Recommendation: Map approval decisions and test a bounded workflow before choosing broader automation.
Why: The note identifies incomplete inputs and unclear ownership. Writing speed alone may not address either.
Alternative: Buy an AI writing tool. Defer that choice until the source supports it.
Material unknown: Reviewer capacity, specialist coverage and rates are unconfirmed.
Next decision: Confirm the pilot objective, accountable reviewer and required commercial inputs.
