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. 1

    A qualified lead's details (need, size, budget) enter the generator — often straight from the lead-qualification blueprint.

  2. 2

    Lambda pulls the relevant services, pricing rules, and template blocks.

  3. 3

    Bedrock drafts the scope, narrative, and terms, with pricing computed by deterministic rules (not guessed).

  4. 4

    A branded PDF is rendered, stored in S3, and emailed to the prospect via SES.

  5. 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.
