From practice
„What is missing is standardisation and transparency.“
Real proposals, no questionnaire.
4eck is building a proposal configurator from the results.
Without an ERP project you get the same standardisation as a result.
Illustrative example
This is what you get back.
A constructed proposal on the left. On the right the output, unchanged, from the engine that runs on real documents.
Corporate website relaunch
Scope of work
Concept, design and technical build of a new corporate website on a content management system. Home page, service pages and further sub-pages as required.
Included are review meetings and revision rounds until the client is satisfied.
Fee
Fixed fee €24,000 plus VAT.
Payment: 50% on acceptance, 50% after go-live.
Pre-flight, extract
The most important change
State a page count before you send this.
The proposal names no figure for pages or volume. Every later request becomes a negotiation. Price is not the biggest risk here.

An example, not a client's proposal. Rules, ordering and the two open signals are unchanged.

The same procedure, with more documents. Not a second product.
Your proposal is the data source. Not your memory.
Price, scope, deadlines and payment terms are already in your document. A questionnaire measures what you remember. The proposal measures what you committed to.

Why I built this
A corporate has a department for pricing questions. A fifteen-person agency has the owner, in the evening, between two projects.
I spent ten years costing proposals at EY and Senacor. I now do that for the ones with no department behind them. On my own, no team.

Do not start here. The way in is one proposal, free: Get your proposal checked
Five slots at half price, and I'll tell you exactly why.
One agency has put its proposals through the analysis, I have no other references. So you do not pay full price.
What you get
- The full audit, nothing reduced
- 30-page playbook in 14 days
- 5 proposal templates with your numbers
- 60-minute walkthrough call
- Direct line to me, not to a team
What I get
- Your numbers, anonymized, in the DACH benchmark
- Your name on this site as a founding client
- Honest feedback on what didn't work
The only guarantee
Finish the final call, tell me it was not worth it, and you pay nothing.

Questions we hear most
- Do I have to remove client names?
- No, but you may. Redact what you would rather not show. The check needs only scope, deadlines, payment schedule and price.
- What happens to the document afterwards?
- It sits in my mailbox and nowhere else. After the analysis I delete it, at the latest after 90 days. Nothing is passed on, deletion on request at any time.
- Which proposals fit?
- Fixed-price project proposals, ideally the one you are working on right now. Retainers work too, different rules apply there. No proposal is too small.
- How fast do I get the analysis?
- I commit to two working days. I have delivered exactly one analysis so far, so that is a commitment, not a measured time.
