Do not build this if your sales team lives in it. Contracts they trust is the product.

A proposal built from templates with a pricing table, sent, watched as the buyer reads it, and signed at the end — with an audit trail somebody would defend if the signature were challenged. That last part is legal standing rather than software, and it is what the price is for.

WHEN TO KEEP PAYING
- Contracts of real value, or a sales team producing proposals daily
- Anywhere a lawyer would want the signature defended

WHEN TO BUILD
- Internal approvals, small agreements, or a handful of proposals a month. The shape is under SignWell and Documenso elsewhere in this catalogue

WHAT MATTERS IF YOU DO
- **An append-only audit trail**: created, sent, delivered, opened, each page viewed, each field completed, signed, declined, downloaded — with a UTC timestamp, a salted address hash and a coarse user agent, enforced by a trigger and never edited
- The trail appended to the finished document as a page, with the hash of what each person actually saw. A signature without that page is a picture of a name
- A document-level digital signature so any later change is detectable, and a timestamp from an RFC 3161 authority so it stays verifiable after the certificate expires
- Long random tokens per recipient, no accounts. Requiring one is how a proposal goes unanswered for a fortnight
- Backups covering the documents as well as the database, with a tested restore. Losing a signed contract is not an outage, it is a loss

THE PRICING TABLE, WHICH IS THE PROPOSAL HALF
- Line items with quantity, unit price, discount and tax, computed on the server and never taken from the browser
- Optional items the buyer can select, with the total recomputed. That interaction is what makes a proposal feel like a decision rather than a document
- The accepted configuration recorded exactly, because it is what was agreed

ON WATCHING SOMEBODY READ
Time on each page is genuinely useful to a salesperson and slightly uncomfortable to the reader. Record it, use it internally, and do not tell the buyer you know how long they spent on the pricing page — that conversation goes badly.

KEEP THIS SENTENCE
Write in the README that this records who did what and when, and that whether it satisfies a particular law in a particular country is a question for a lawyer. Do not let it be removed later.

THE ONE-LINE VERSION
Build it for internal paperwork. Buy it for contracts you might have to defend.
