My compliments on a very good proposal. I have a few questions:
Who decides if a deliverable in the proposal meets the requirement/commitment? Who controls payment to you?
Is your two-month estimate an:
(a) calendar duration of 60 days regardless of how many work hours are expended, or
(b) estimate of work hours performed regardless of how much calendar time elapses?
For example, 2 months * 20 workdays/month * 8 hours/workday = 320 work hours. You would bill us for 320 hours even if those were performed over a 6-month period. I really hope it's (b) as I just don't think getting all of these deliverables in two months is going to be anywhere near as valuable as getting the deliverables over a 4- to 12-month period. Case in point, the SmartVlog videos span a period of much longer than two months.
More details are needed on the team section. Will you be creating these teams as a deliverable or creating and ramping up these teams to provide the deliverables or both? Whichever the case this needs to be fleshed out more. I would much prefer you being an orchestrator and a doer rather than just a doer of which one of the things you get done is the team deliverable.
You did a pretty good job of interspersing your experience within the proposal. Would you be ok with providing a resume? It would better magnify your expertise by looking at an unfragmented summary of your experience.
I would not be comfortable approving without some kind of NTE (Not-To-Exceed) estimate of travel costs. With the travel history you describe in your proposal, I can see travel costs surpassing the cost of the work.
Do you have any references for your SmartCash work? Is there any write-up or analysis of the impact of your SmartCash work? Are you still doing work for SmartCash?
For the SmartVlog of videos, it appears most of the videos were in Central America. Will that geography be your focus for SwiftCash?
For the Book of Fermat, could you please detail what was involved in the Graphic Design?
For the deliverables you describe in your SwiftCash proposal, did you do any of those for navigato? If yes, please provide some details?
Hey Kkekoa,
Thanks for asking the questions, I think this can clarify the proposal. :)
