Proposal to handover without retyping the scope.
Illustrative, not a customer story
An illustrative week at a design studio
Monday: the lead
An inquiry arrives by email. You retype it into a CRM, then again into a proposal.
Wednesday: the scope
The client says yes. Someone copies the scope into the project tool and rebuilds the phases by hand.
Friday: the question
"Where do we stand with this client?" It takes four tabs to answer.
Most agencies buy this as a CRM, a proposal tool, a project tool and a drive, then glue them together. In Maiden the lead, the proposal, the payment, the project and the task are the same record moving forward.
Private beta. We start with a setup call and bring your existing work across.
Same week. Same team. Fewer seams.
- Without
The inquiry is retyped into every tool it touches.
With MaidenA contact with its source, stage, tags and brief. This is where it is entered once.
- Without
The proposal is a PDF in an email.
With MaidenSections, scope and packages priced to the cent, drafted from your discovery notes and edited by you. The client opens a public link, picks a package and pays through Stripe checkout.
- Without
The project plan is a separate document.
With MaidenA project against the client, with ordered phases and tasks in the department that owns them. Each task carries its acceptance criteria and the access it needs.
- Without
Files and approvals go back and forth by email.
With MaidenA client portal for files, requests and approvals, and a Library with share links. Clients are free.
How an agency fits
If your work starts with a proposal and ends with a handover, it fits.
Someone gets in touch
A contact with a source, a stage, tags and a brief.
You send something real
A proposal with its own snapshot, so editing a template never rewrites history.
The client picks a package
A link that expires and can be revoked. No account to create.
The work gets done
Phases, tasks, priorities and links between tasks, on a board or in a table. Each task can say whether a person or an agent should take it.
What works today, and what does not.
Works today
- Contacts, proposals with AI drafting from discovery notes, Stripe checkout and payment
- Projects with phases and tasks, board or table
- Client portal and Library share links
- Stripe invoices and subscriptions synced into a billing ledger, and three revenue dashboards
- Ask over your own records, with sources, and a daily brief
Not built yet
- Time tracking, rate cards, budgets, capacity and project profitability. If those are your first need today, Maiden is not ready for you.
- Issuing invoices or keeping books. Maiden reads Stripe invoices and does not replace your accounting tool.
- An agent that runs a task. Agents draft and recommend.
Can it tell us if a project made money?
Not yet. Payments are in the system. Time and rates are not.
Will it replace QuickBooks?
No. Maiden syncs Stripe invoices in and takes payment on proposals. It does not issue invoices or keep books.
What can the AI do?
Answer from your own records with sources, draft proposals, tasks and Spaces, and write a daily brief. It does not act or send anything without a person approving it.
How do we move over?
We onboard in small groups with a setup call, and we bring your live projects across.
