Connected deliverables

Turn approved proposals into connected consulting deliverables.

Solon carries validated client context, workstreams, decisions and assumptions from the proposal into every downstream deliverable.

The proposal is the first governed artifact.

A proposal is not simply a sales document. It already contains the structure the engagement will run on:

  • Objectives
  • Scope
  • Workstreams
  • Deliverables
  • Timing
  • Roles
  • Assumptions
  • Commercial commitments

These should be reusable across delivery rather than retyped into new documents.

Generate connected outputs from the same source.

Each output inherits the validated context and states clearly what still requires new input.

  • Statement of Work
  • Project plan
  • Staffing plan
  • Workshop plan
  • Interview guide
  • Assessment
  • Presentation
  • Executive summary
  • Final report
  • Client communication
  • Inherited from approved scope
  • Requires review
  • Client-facing
  • Internal

What each deliverable inherits from the approved proposal.

Every output below starts from the same validated context rather than a blank document. Each one still needs review, and states what it could not infer.

Proposal to Statement of Work

Scope, workstreams, deliverables, assumptions and commercial terms carry over into contractual language. Legal wording and signature details remain a human step.

Proposal to project plan

Workstreams, activities, dependencies and timing become a plan structure. Sequencing decisions and capacity constraints stay with the engagement lead.

Proposal to staffing plan

Roles, seniority mix and effort from the approved proposal shape the staffing model. Named consultants and availability are assigned by the firm.

Proposal to workshop materials

Objectives, open questions and the agreed approach become agendas, interview guides and workshop structures for the first phase of delivery.

Proposal to presentation

The approved narrative, approach and scope become a client-ready deck applying the firm's template and brand rules.

Proposal to final report

The original objectives and deliverables provide the reporting structure, so the closing document answers what the engagement set out to do.

Maintain consistency when the engagement changes.

Solon can identify which connected artifacts may need to be reviewed after a material change.

  • Scope change
  • Approved change request
  • Timeline change
  • Team change
  • New deliverable
  • Updated assumption

Reuse firm knowledge with client controls.

  • Reusable methodologies
  • Precedent search
  • Template application
  • Source visibility
  • Confidential client isolation

Source selection panel showing which firm sources are approved for reuse, which are restricted or confidential, and one source excluded from cross-client reuse.

Turn project work into future firm knowledge.

At the end of the engagement, approved frameworks, lessons and reusable structures can become part of the firm's knowledge base without exposing client-specific information.

Start with one proposal. Build the engagement from there.
