EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Prepare a relevant proposal without overstating experience or committing to unapproved terms.

For work involving a client project brief, relevant work examples, proposed scope, and a freelancer’s draft response, confirm permission and check the facts before taking the next step. Organize project requirements into a tailored proposal draft for the freelancer to review. Client briefs and work samples may be confidential or protected, and a draft can invent qualifications, pricing, or delivery promises. Use authorized material, confirm portfolio rights and claims, protect client information, and require the freelancer to approve the exact proposal and recipient before submission.
