# Comparable proposals start with a shared brief. All stories are fictional. They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental. A company is looking for a supplier for a digital project. One proposes months of development; another suggests launching an existing solution quickly. Prices vary dramatically. The buyer is comparing suppliers whose proposals answer different questions and include different work. ## Where we could start Gather the participants’ requirements and define the expected result, constraints and acceptance criteria. Prepare a brief for estimation, compare the responses and bring differences in scope and responsibility back to the buyer. ## What you would have Comparable proposals and clear reasons to choose a supplier, rather than comparing prices in isolation. ## Participants The requester, responsible participants and the specialists the task requires. ## Roles and decisions Scope and authority are agreed for the task. Relevant specialists provide technical and professional assessments. ## Factual experience, separate from the fictional story Tapcore / AirPush / Airnow: Operating work involving people, finance, contracts and specialists across countries. https://apiperson.com/experience/#work-operations [Book a 30-minute call](https://calendar.app.google/4FrxQkHkAZ32PkzA9) mailto:apiperson.com@gmail.com
