## What it does

The skill covers the whole advisory sales path, from the discovery meeting to a signed agreement. It lays the work out in stages: prospect data collection, a risk tolerance questionnaire, mapping the score to the firm's model lineup, analysis of the current holdings, document assembly from a template, supervisory review, presentation and revisions.

Questionnaire design is spelled out, including scenario-based loss tolerance questions, time horizon, income stability and investment experience. A numeric score lands in a category from Conservative Income to Aggressive Growth, and each category maps to a model with target weights. The score alone does not decide the recommendation — horizon and income needs can shift it, and the skill says so.

One thing to plan for: firms under the SEC Marketing Rule get extra scrutiny on proposals that show performance data. The skill prepares the document for that review, it does not replace the reviewer.

## When to use it
- build a prospect proposal from questionnaire to finished document
- map risk questionnaire scores onto the firm's model portfolios

# Proposal Generation

## Core Concepts

### Proposal Workflow Architecture
The investment proposal is the centerpiece of the advisory sales process. It translates a prospect's financial situation and goals into a specific, actionable investment recommendation. The end-to-end workflow proceeds through defined stages:

1. **Discovery meeting** — the advisor meets with the prospect to understand their financial situation, goals, concerns, and expectations. The advisor collects current account statements, tax returns, and any existing financial plan. The discovery meeting establishes the advisory relationship's tone and sets expectations for the proposal.
2. **Data collection and organization** — the advisor or operations team enters prospect data into the proposal system: personal information, current holdings (manually or via account aggregation), financial goals, time horizons, income, expenses, tax situation, and any unique circumstances (concentrated positions, restricted stock, estate planning needs).
3. **Risk profiling** — the prospect completes a risk tolerance questionnaire. The system scores the responses and produces a risk profile that maps to a position on the firm's risk-return spectrum. The risk profile is the bridge between subjective client preferences and objective portfolio construction.
4. **Model portfolio selection** — the risk profile score maps to a specific model portfolio from the firm's lineup. The advisor reviews the mapping, considers any client-specific factors that might warrant adjustment (tax sensitivity, income needs, ESG preferences, concentrated positions), and confirms the recommended model.
