## What it does

Give Norma the services, deliverables and proposed commercial terms. Norma drafts the proposal and marks missing details for confirmation. You review the proposal; creating it does not send it or record client acceptance.

## Usage

Ask Norma in plain language. With Arch Studio connected through MCP, no $ or / command is required. Norma is your assistant working with Arch Studio.

```text
Use Arch Studio to draft a proposal for two design workshops and a summary report at a USD 5,000 fixed fee. Leave the schedule to confirm. Show the draft for review and do not send it.
```

## What the proposal includes

### Scope of services

Norma lays out the services and deliverables from your brief and keeps exclusions visible.

### Fees and payment terms

Norma records the proposed fees, fee basis and supplied payment terms. Missing dates or commercial details remain to confirm.

### Terms and acceptance

Norma assembles draft terms from authorized inputs and applicable originals, with an acceptance section for review.

### Revisions and lifecycle

Norma preserves issued terms and records explicit sending or acceptance evidence. A change to protected terms gets a new revision.

## Workflow

1. **Draft** — Norma prepares the proposal from your scope and commercial inputs.
2. **Review** — You review the draft and supply or confirm missing terms.
3. **Register** — Norma registers the authorized document and checks the saved version.
4. **Revise** — When you request changed issued terms, Norma prepares a new revision instead of overwriting the issued proposal.
