First Order, going over the 3A plan feedback.
Slightly redefine audience with their roles in mind. The roles of our audience are the ones with the power that can implement the changes the proposal details. The audience had to be more specific,
Assessment of stakeholders? Will the application impact anything outside of what it says? Will it replace jobs? or will it just increase satisfaction. "Top-Notch research questions"
BIGGEST CONCERN IS ADDING DEPTH TO AUDIENCE.
The Notes have been posted to the golfler page.
Second Order, Pitch Deck
Very adaptable to the proposal format.

SUPERSTRUCTURE FOR PROPOSALS
|
TOPICS
*Introduction *Problem
READERS’ QUESTIONS
What is this communication about?
Why is the proposed project needed? What will we gain that is important to us if we invest in it?
YOUR PERSUASIVE POINTS
Briefly, I propose to do the following.
The proposed project addresses a problem, need, or goal that is important to you.
Objectives
What features will a solution to the problem need in order to be successful?
A successful solution can be achieved if it has these features.
*Solution
What will your proposed solution look like?
Here’s what I plan to produce, and it has the features necessary for success.
Method Resources Schedule Qualifications Management
Are you going to be able to deliver what you describe here?
Yes, because I have a good plan of action (method); the necessary facilities, equipment, and other resources; a workable schedule; appropriate qualifications; and a sound management plan.
*Topics marked with an asterisk are important in almost every proposal, whereas the others are needed only in certain ones.

Anderson's Method
Readers of proposals sometimes need to be assured that you can, in fact, produce the results that you promise. That happens especially in situations where you are propos- ing to do something that takes special expertise.
To assure themselves that you can deliver what you promise, your readers will look for information about several aspects of your project: your method or plan of action for producing the result; the facilities, equipment, and other resources you plan to use; your schedule; your qualifications; and your plan for managing the project. This section is about method; the other topics are discussed in the sections that follow.
To determine how to explain your proposed method, imagine that your readers have asked you, “How will you bring about the result you have described?”
In some cases, you will not need to answer that question. For example, Helen did not talk at all about the programming techniques she planned to use because her readers were already familiar with them. On the other hand, they did not know how she planned to train people to use her program. Therefore, in her proposal she explained her plans for training.
In contrast, the television writers needed to describe their method in detail in order to persuade their readers that they would produce effective educational mate- rials. An important part of their method, for instance, was to use three review teams: a team of scientists to assess the accuracy of the materials they drafted, a team of filmmakers to advise about plans for making the videotapes, and a team of specialists in high school education to advise about the effectiveness of the script. In their proposal, they described these review teams in great detail, emphasizing the way each would enhance the effectiveness of the programs the writers were proposing to produce.
In addition, the writers described each phase of their project to show that they would conduct all phases in a way that would lead to success. These phases include research, scripting, review, revision, production, field testing, revision, final produc- tion, and distribution. As they described each step, they explained how their plans for conducting it would contribute to a successful outcome.
Notes:
We need to focus on the problem. Improve experience in key ways, makes golfing life easier.
Judging the merits of our solutions that the proposal brings up.
In method, amp up Amer and Ben's qualifications as writers and editors. Express Connor's qualifications as the team leader, talk about his part in developing the application.
Phone Interviews as primary research. Add that into primary research methodology.
Ben: Define method using the plan.
Connor: Define the problems that our proposal has the solutions for.
Amer: Redefine and compile research questions
Method: Primary Research, Secondary Research. Work Division (Role Division: Why are we qualified?)
Amer and Ben look over the pitch deck, figure out how its organized and where the information is located.
Most of our work has been completed via the pitch deck.
