trussnote

Proposal Builder

From blank page to signed contract in one tool

From scope to signed. One tool. No extras.

Describe your project. trussnote writes the proposal, prices the work in tiers, sends a client-ready link, and captures a legally binding signature. The whole pipeline in one place.

The problem

Every hour you spend on proposals is an hour you are not billing.

You build in a word processor, send a PDF, then wonder if they ever opened it

Getting a signature means a separate e-signature account, another login, another monthly fee

Every proposal your firm sends looks slightly different from the last one

The firms winning the best projects look like they already have the job, before the meeting

The solution

One input. A complete deal-closing document on the other side.

AI writes your cover letter and value proposition, tuned to the actual project, not a fill-in-the-blank template

Present Basic, Standard, and Premium tiers in a single proposal. Clients choose, and they almost always upgrade.

Built-in e-signature. Legally binding under ESIGN and UETA. No third-party account needed.

Know the second they open it. Get notified the moment they sign.

What it actually does

Every feature your close needs. Nothing it does not.

01

AI that writes like you

Cover letter, value proposition, why choose us, written from your actual scope. Not a template with blanks filled in. Real prose that sounds like your firm, tuned to the specific project.

02

Three-tier pricing

Present Basic, Standard, and Premium in one proposal. Give clients a choice. Firms using tiers consistently report clients upgrading to Standard or Premium without being asked.

03

Built-in e-signature

Legally binding under the ESIGN Act and UETA. Every signature captures the signatory name, timestamp, IP address, and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact document at the moment of signing.

04

Open. Signed. Notified.

Know the second your client opens the proposal. Get an email the moment they sign. Stop guessing when to follow up, and stop following up when you do not need to.

05

Market rate intelligence

Before you send, see how your fee compares to what the market pays for the same scope in your city. Walk into every conversation knowing your number is right.

06

Payment schedule, built in

Define your payment milestones: 50/50, 30/40/30, or fully custom. trussnote calculates every dollar amount automatically and presents it as a clean schedule inside the proposal.

How it works

Blank page to signed contract in four steps.

01

Fill in your scope

Project details, your fee, payment schedule, timeline. About 5 minutes. trussnote guides you through every section.

02

AI writes the document

Cover letter, scope breakdown, why choose us, full formatting. Your branding throughout. Ready in under a minute.

03

Send one link to your client

They open it on any device. No PDF attachment. No download. No login required. Just a clean, professional page.

04

They sign. You are notified.

Signature captured with timestamp, IP address, and a SHA-256 document fingerprint. Legally binding. Done.
