Frequently asked

Do I need consulting experience to use this?

Consulting Forge is built for working consultants and contractors — people who already have expertise but struggle to package and price it correctly. You bring the expertise; the toolkit structures it into proposals that win.

How is the pricing recommendation generated?

The AI analyzes your project type, industry, scope, and stated expertise against consulting market benchmarks. It outputs 3 options (value-based, fixed, retainer) with rationale. Most users find they've been underpricing by 30-50%.

Can I use the SOW with real clients?

Yes — the SOW is designed to be sent directly to clients. For engagements over $50K or complex structures, have a business attorney review it. But for most independent consulting work, it's ready to use.

Is Consulting Forge worth $149/mo?

One won proposal typically generates $5,000–$50,000 in revenue. At $149/mo, this tool pays for itself on the first engagement it helps close. The SOW alone replaces a $500 attorney drafting fee.

What if I don't get results?

If the proposal generator does not produce a complete executive-quality proposal from your 5-bullet brief within 90 seconds, email us within 7 days for a full refund.
