Find the one stagethat's leaking the work.
Enter your own 30-day numbers. The Map computes the book's seven metrics, scores your funnel stages against the book's benchmarks, and names the constraint — the earliest stage that's leaking — then routes you to the fix. A funnel only flows as fast as its tightest stage.
More proposals won't fix the wrong stage.
numbers tracked over 30 days locate the exact point a proposal funnel is bleeding revenue — most freelancers track none of them.
stage is almost always the constraint. Fixing any other stage first is wasted effort while the real leak stays open.
revenue per proposal can look healthy while the funnel is still leaking upstream — the average hides the binding stage.
Enter your numbers. Read the constraint.
Every number comes from your own inputs and the book's benchmarks. Grades the funnel, not any person.
Each stage scores 0–100 against the book's benchmark for your niche. The verdict is set by the constraint — the earliest stage below healthy — not the average, because the average hides the leak.
The funnel is sequential, so a low win rate is usually a symptom of a weak opening upstream, not a hiring problem. The Map names the first stage that leaks and routes you to the drop that fixes it — Visibility & Open to the Proposal Quality Probe, Evaluate to the Battlecard Builder, Hire to the Pricing Kit.
The sample is the book's own example: 62 proposals, $6,400 in revenue, an 11.6× ROI — and the funnel still reads LEAKING, because the response rate is the weakest stage against the focused-niche benchmark.
The same diagnosis, offline and runnable.
The zero-dependency Python engine scores one month or a year of months from a CSV and produces the identical verdict to the demo and the workbook — verified across the input space. Here it maps a strong-revenue month that is still leaking:
PROPOSAL FUNNEL MAP
==========================================================
Response rate 22.6%
Interview rate 16.1%
Win rate 6.5%
Revenue / proposal $103.23
Cost / proposal $8.94
ROI 11.6x
Time to first response 10.8 h
----------------------------------------------------------
Stage scores (0-100):
Visibility & Open 55.2
Evaluate 64.4
Hire 49.2
Constraint stage Visibility & Open (55.2)
Mean (context only) 56.2
VERDICT LEAKING
Fix first Proposal Quality Probe
(Profile, preview text, and the problem-first opening)Three rules the Map never breaks.
The verdict is set by the binding stage, never the mean. A healthy-looking average that hides one leaking stage is exactly the failure the Map exists to catch.
Because the funnel is sequential, a low downstream number is usually a symptom. The Map names the first stage that leaks — the cause, not the symptom.
Every score comes from the numbers you enter and the book's published benchmarks. No industry multiplier, no invented lift, no people scored.
A funnel diagnostic, not a forecast.
- The book's seven-metric dashboard as a monthly instrument.
- A constraint-finder that names the one stage to fix first.
- A router from the leaking stage to the drop that fixes it.
- A batch tool — score a year of months from one CSV.
- A forecast — it diagnoses the last 30 days, it doesn't predict the next.
- A scorer of people — it grades the funnel as a system.
- A guarantee of any win rate or revenue figure.
- A replacement for the book; it is the companion to it.
Scope. The Map grades a proposal funnel as a system from the numbers you enter; it does not score, rank, or assess any person, and it is not legal, financial, or career advice.
For the freelancer who tracks the numbers.
- Freelancers and independents who send enough proposals to have 30 days of data.
- Readers of The AI Proposal System who want the dashboard as a monthly ritual.
- Anyone tired of guessing whether the fix is the opening, the proof, or the price.
- —Not for fewer than ~20 proposals — too little data to diagnose a stage reliably.
- —Not for scoring or ranking people — it grades a funnel, not a candidate.
- —Not an enterprise pipeline tool; it is built for the individual proposal funnel.
Fix the stage the Map names.
The fix for a Visibility & Open leak — score each proposal on the book's rubric before it goes out.
The fix for an Evaluate-stage leak — sharper proof and a competitor-aware approach.
The fix for a Hire-stage leak — rate positioning when the interview is won but the contract isn't.
Answers before you ask.
It is a deterministic diagnostic for your proposal funnel, built on the seven-metric Analytics Dashboard and the six-stage Proposal Funnel Map from The AI Proposal System. You enter your own 30-day numbers — proposals sent, responses, interviews, wins, revenue, cost, and response time — and the Map computes the book's metrics, scores your funnel stages against the book's benchmarks, and names the one stage that is costing you the work.
Because a funnel only flows as fast as its tightest stage. The book's rule is to identify which stage is underperforming before fixing any other. The Map scores each stage 0–100 and reports the constraint — the earliest stage that falls below healthy — because an upstream leak starves every stage below it. Fixing a downstream number while the real leak is upstream wastes effort.
No, and that distinction is the point. The funnel is sequential: a low win rate is often a symptom of a weak opening upstream, not a hiring problem. So the Map names the earliest stage below healthy as the constraint, not whichever stage scores lowest. The book is explicit that win rate captures everything upstream, so a downstream stage is rarely the true cause.
The funnel reads HEALTHY (70–100), LEAKING (40–69), or BLEEDING (0–39), set by the constraint stage's own score — not the average, which hides the leak. A broken-stage gate forces BLEEDING if any stage is effectively non-functional (at or below 20). ROI and response speed are shown as efficiency flags that point to targeting and the freshness window, not to a funnel stage.
Yes. Each constraint routes to the RedHub drop that fixes that stage: a Visibility & Open leak points to the Proposal Quality Probe, an Evaluate leak to the Sales Enablement Battlecard Builder, a Hire leak to the AI Service Pricing Kit. The verdict comes from your own numbers and the book's benchmarks — no industry multiplier, no invented lift.
No — it is the companion. The book explains why each metric matters and which lever moves it; the Map turns the seven-metric dashboard into a monthly instrument you run on your own numbers. It grades the funnel as a system, not any person, and it is not legal, financial, or career advice.
