What is this?
A quote and proposal generator makes one painful admin task disappear for one kind of service business. Study how they make quotes today and what users complain about in current tools, then define the minimum flow from job details to a polished quote. Build a prototype, test it with realistic data, let three users create real quotes and see whether at least one will pay.
