Using the call notes below, write a complete client proposal. The proposal must include these sections in this order:
1. Cover summary — 2–3 sentences that reflect back the client's stated problem and position our solution specifically against it. Do not write generic marketing language.
2. Scope of work — bullet list of exactly what we will do, using service names from the rate card only.
3. Deliverables — what the client receives at the end, formatted as a numbered list.
4. Timeline — based on the call notes; if timeline is "not stated," write "We can discuss a start date and schedule on your confirmation call."
5. Investment — a pricing table using the services and rates from the rate card. If the client gave a budget signal, note whether this scope fits within it or flag the gap plainly.
6. Terms — two to three sentences covering payment schedule, revision policy, and what happens if scope changes. Use [YOUR STANDARD TERMS HERE] as the basis.
7. Next step — one sentence telling the client exactly what to do to move forward (e.g., "Reply to this email to confirm and I'll send a contract within 24 hours").

Tone: professional and direct. No filler phrases. No vague promises. Write as if [Your Name] wrote this personally.
