Executive summary
A generator that assembles a tailored, on-brand proposal from a lead's details, the company's service catalog and pricing, and reusable content blocks. It drafts scope, pricing, and terms, produces a polished PDF, and emails it — so sales responds while interest is hot.
Business problem
Proposals are slow and inconsistent: reps copy-paste from old docs, pricing errors creep in, and by the time a proposal goes out the prospect has cooled or chosen a competitor.

Data flow
- 1
A qualified lead's details (need, size, budget) enter the generator — often straight from the lead-qualification blueprint.
- 2
Lambda pulls the relevant services, pricing rules, and template blocks.
- 3
Bedrock drafts the scope, narrative, and terms, with pricing computed by deterministic rules (not guessed).
- 4
A branded PDF is rendered, stored in S3, and emailed to the prospect via SES.
- 5
The proposal record is tracked for follow-up and analytics.
Security considerations
- Pricing computed by auditable rules to prevent AI mispricing.
- Proposals encrypted at rest; access scoped per business.
- Approval step before send for high-value proposals.
- Version history of generated documents.
Cost considerations
- S3, DynamoDB, SES, and Lambda are pay-per-use.
- Bedrock generation is the main per-proposal cost (cents to low dollars).
- No standing infrastructure.
Scalability
- Serverless generation scales with proposal volume.
- New services/templates added as data, not code.
- Multi-brand and multi-currency support.
