What is this?

Capstone: write a client-ready proposal — context, options (A/B), recommended HLD, integration list, NFRs, risks, phased roadmap, and TCO sketch.

Why should you care?

This is what solution architects deliver in consulting and interviews.

See it live — copy this example

These are solution-design workshops: fill templates, draw context diagrams, write options A/B. No cloud spend required.

# Proposal outline
1) Understanding of problem
2) Options considered (with trade-offs)
3) Recommended blueprint diagram
4) Integration & security controls
5) 90 / 180 / 365 day plan
6) Risks & open questions

What happened?

  • Options prove judgment.
  • A single “perfect” design without alternatives looks naive.

Practice next

  1. Draft the six sections for one industry case.
  2. Peer-review for jargon.
  3. Cut one unjustified component.
  4. Add a RACI.
  5. Add success metrics for phase 1.

Remember

Proposal = options + recommendation. Phasing builds trust. Risks must be explicit.

Final presentation

Steering committee challenges option B.

Outcome: You defend with NFRs and TCO.
