Make every architectural bid profitable before work begins
Small architectural firms lose money the same way every time: a principal spends a week writing a proposal from memory, misses a coordination task, underestimates a phase, and signs a contract that was underwater before the first drawing was made.
Project Plan generates complete scope documents, risk registers, and resource forecasts from client requirements — in minutes, not days.
Scope creep is not a project management failure. It's a proposal failure.
It happens at the moment the scope document is written — and right now that moment is entirely manual, entirely gut-feel, and entirely avoidable.
Principals spend a week per bid writing from memory, rushing to meet RFP deadlines.
Of firms have three months or less of backlog secured — every bid matters.
60% of firms report margins of 15% or below, with scope creep as the primary cause of overruns.
The market conditions are as acute as they've been in a decade
cite fee pressure as their biggest challenge in winning new work
still use manual planning for resource allocation

The wedge
We don't compete with Monograph or BQE Core. We solve the problem that happens before their workflow starts: the 10-15 hours a week spent writing proposals that directly determines whether a project makes money.
Who Project Plan is for
The principal or senior architect at a firm of 2-20 people, billing $500K-$5M a year, winning work through competitive bids.
You're the right fit if:
You're the one writing proposals, staring at a blank scope document at 9pm because an RFP landed that afternoon
You feel margin erosion directly — winning projects that end up underwater because the scope was underestimated
You have authority to buy a tool that solves this without a procurement committee
You're not resistant to AI — you just need a tool built for the specific problem you actually have
AI adoption is the profession's top stated priority
AI and automation ranked as the single top trend shaping the profession
Projected by 2033 (5.0% CAGR) — construction and project management hold 34% segment share
