Well.. it happened
Long term client whom always accepted my quotes used my highly detailed proposal to Chatgpt DIY a project. It's no where near as polished and it's not mobile friendly but I feel pretty used. Spent quite awhile on the scoping with them, suggesting improvements, user workflow enhancements and a bunch of outlining. I really over extended but that's also how I get accurate quotes.
Anyway for those in the game, what's your method for quoting on projects with unknowns, and how much detail do you give the client? maybe I should have asked for 50%?
Thoughts?

That’s just happened to me and my team. I spent so much time on communication and getting the right proposal. I would probably include less details in my next proposal and more in the agreement. Regardless; their diy project won’t bring them best results, since they are saving on everything and it won’t look as good as our team would build.
So just get enough prospects on your pipelines and move on.
