Elaine and Dan provided excellent feedback and advice during the proposal audit process. They offered clear insights into the strengths of our submission and detailed, constructive comments on how to address key areas of concern, particularly in articulating our overall vision. Their suggestions were practical and solution-focused, providing us with clear strategies to strengthen the proposal.
