Example design · fictional service enquiry
Missing costs and unclear commitments can turn a promising enquiry into a difficult project. Inspect the estimate, available team time and proposed terms before the delivery lead accepts the work.
Interactive browser demonstration · Fictional data · No live AI or client results
An enquiry, a discovery record, team availability and cost assumptions.
A costed proposal and a delivery brief ready for the responsible owners to review.
The named reviewer approves, returns or stops each step.
Change the analyst hours. See the full cost, find an omitted review rate and check whether the team has enough time for the proposed work. Choose the situation, set the input and select “Run this case”. You make each fictional review decision; nothing is sent or applied outside the demo.
Changing the input or situation starts a fresh example.
Set the situation and input, then select “Run this case” to prepare the first output.
A fictional boutique receives an enquiry for an operations diagnostic. Change the analyst effort, then inspect fit, role capacity, a transparent estimate, the agreement comparison and the brief offered to delivery.
An estimate includes review and partner effort. A proposal is still subject to finance, signature and delivery acceptance; unavailable capacity can justify a return or no-bid.
Source excerpts and the complete design remain readable below.
Use these fictional originals to check the number, period, version and permission behind each output. Missing or conflicting evidence remains visible. These are teaching records, not client results.
Synthetic source. Simulation case E-01 requests a process map, findings pack and handover conversation for an operations diagnostic. The enquirer permits this case to be considered privately. The fixture records no conflict flag; a partner must still decide fit. Analyst effort H is a whole number from 16 to 80, default 32 hours.
Use boundary: Synthetic fixture; private review within this fictional case only.
Synthetic source. The agreed estimate includes H analyst hours, 8 quality-review hours and 4 partner hours; total active effort = H + 12. The proposed delivery window has 60 analyst hours, 8 quality-review hours and 4 partner hours available. Analyst gap = max(0, H − 60). If the gap is positive, delivery returns the timing/scope decision to the partner.

Synthetic source. Internal hourly costs for this invented advisory engagement are analyst USD 90, quality reviewer USD 140 and partner USD 200. Analyst cost = 90H; review cost = 8 × 140 = 1,120; partner cost = 4 × 200 = 800. Total cost = 90H + 1,920. These figures are not Build n Bloom fees.
Use boundary: Synthetic fixture; private review within this fictional case only.
Synthetic source. Analyst cost is USD 90/hour and partner cost is USD 200/hour. Eight quality-review hours are required, but their cost rate is missing. Known subtotal = 90H + 800. The missing cost is unknown, not zero. A full cost, margin or proposed fee is unavailable.
Use boundary: Synthetic fixture; private review within this fictional case only.
Synthetic source. For fictional case E-01 only, the missing quality-review rate is supplied as USD 140/hour for 8 hours. Complete cost becomes 90H + 1,120 + 800. This correction supplies cost evidence, not a fee approval, delivery commitment or signature.

Synthetic source. For this invented diagnostic only, compute a candidate fee = complete internal cost / 0.60, rounded to USD cents. Contribution = candidate fee − complete cost; margin = 100 × contribution / candidate fee = 40% before unmodelled overhead, tax and risk. Do not apply the method to an incomplete cost. This is a fictional firm's estimate, not a Build n Bloom quote or rate card.
Use boundary: Synthetic fixture; private review within this fictional case only.
Synthetic source. The unsigned specimen for E-01 repeats the three requested outputs, H analyst hours, 8 review hours, 4 partner hours and the calculated candidate fee. It is regenerated for the selected H. Signatory review and delivery acceptance are pending. The delivery window cannot be committed when H exceeds 60; a changed date, scope or no-bid needs the partner's decision.
Use boundary: Synthetic fixture; private review within this fictional case only.
Synthetic source. At Delivery accepts, the fictional workspace read stops. Retain the selected estimate, unsigned terms and role reservation. A technical check may compare versions and list the pending delivery decision. The interruption cannot supply missing signature, capacity, professional cover or authority to begin work.

Pursuit partner receives authorised enquiry and prepares pursue, decline or clarify.
Decision: Partner decides fit. Permission: Consent and assigned CRM record.
Pursuit partner receives fit decision and stated need and prepares bid / no-bid record.
Decision: Partner owns bid decision. Permission: Scoped discovery and conflict data.
Partner + finance receives qualified brief and cost inputs and prepares approved proposal.
Decision: Finance and partner approve fee. Permission: Current estimate and approved claims.
Authorised signatory receives approved proposal and negotiated terms and prepares signed obligations.
Decision: Signatory approves terms. Permission: Current executed agreement only.
Engagement lead receives signed obligations and access needs and prepares accepted delivery brief or return.
Decision: Delivery lead accepts handoff. Permission: Assigned delivery workspace.
Return route: Brief rejected / scope unclear. Conflict, weak economics or missing authority leads to no-bid. Delivery can reject an unusable brief and return it to the partner.
