Executive summary

Illustrative example: Northstar Digital proposes a patient intake portal for Acme Health. The portal will let patients complete forms before a visit, give staff a queue for reviewing submissions, and pass approved records to the clinic’s scheduling system.
For Acme Health, the proposed work covers the patient-facing application, staff review workspace, scheduling integration, testing, and production handover. The scope and nine-week delivery sequence appear in the following pages; the budget uses sample figures for this template.
About us
Northstar Digital will assign a product lead, a solution architect, two full-stack engineers, and a QA engineer to the example engagement. The team will review acceptance criteria with Acme Health before each release and maintain an issue log through handover.
Engineering plan
Build the portal with React and TypeScript, a Node.js API, and PostgreSQL for intake records.
Delivery cadence
Review progress each week, demonstrate completed features, and track defects against acceptance criteria.
Handover package
Provide deployment notes, admin instructions, test results, and an inventory of third-party dependencies.

Project overview and technical specifications

The example solution is a patient intake portal for Acme Health. Patients submit registration and medical-history forms before appointments; front-desk staff review responses and update intake status. A secure API connects approved intake data to the existing scheduling system.
Solution description
  • Patient web forms for contact details, visit information, and consent.
  • Staff workspace for review, correction requests, and submission status.
  • Scheduling integration that links an approved intake record to an appointment.
Proof of concept and prototypes
  • Clickable patient and staff flows will be reviewed during discovery.
  • A test integration will confirm the scheduling system’s authentication and field mapping.
  • Production release depends on Acme Health providing test access and approving the final data fields.
Category
Illustrative implementation
Frontend
React and TypeScript web application with accessible forms and a shared component library
Backend
Node.js API for intake workflows, validation, and scheduling integration
Database
PostgreSQL for submissions, status history, and audit events
Cloud hosting
Managed application hosting, encrypted object storage, deployment pipeline, and application monitoring

Architecture, performance, security, and compliance

Architecture and stack
  • Frontend: React and TypeScript with reusable form components and responsive layouts.
  • Backend: Node.js API with separate services for submissions, staff review, and scheduling exchange.
  • Data: PostgreSQL for intake records and audit events; encrypted object storage for uploaded files.
  • Hosting: managed cloud application services with separate test and production environments, logs, and alerts.
Target service levels
  • Availability target: 99.9% uptime unless a different SLA is stated in the final contract.
  • Example performance criterion: the intake form loads within 3 seconds at the agreed test load.
  • Example capacity assumption: 500 concurrent patient sessions; confirm this figure during discovery before sizing production hosting.
Data protection
Encrypt intake data in transit and at rest. Use AES-256 for stored data where supported by the chosen hosting services.
Identity and access
Use OAuth2 for the scheduling integration and SSO with role-based access for staff accounts.
Compliance posture
Document access, retention, and audit controls for Acme Health’s review. Assess GDPR and SOC 2 requirements only if they apply to the final deployment.

Scope of work

For the Acme Health example, the work covers portal design and development, scheduling integration, QA, deployment support, and the agreed post-launch support period. Infrastructure charges, third-party fees, legacy migration, and new features outside the approved requirements remain excluded.
Inclusions
  • Requirement analysis and solution architecture design
  • Software development, API development, and system integration
  • Quality assurance, automated testing, and security review activities
  • CI/CD deployment support and user acceptance testing coordination
  • Post-implementation maintenance and bug fixes for the agreed support period
Exclusions
  • Hardware procurement and server infrastructure costs
  • Third-party API charges, software subscriptions, and licensing fees
  • Legacy data migration unless listed in a separate statement of work
  • Custom feature requests outside the agreed technical requirements
  1. Attach the approved intake fields, integration endpoints, and acceptance criteria to the signed proposal or SOW.
  2. Acme Health will provide scheduling-system test access, sample records, and a contact who can approve field mappings before development begins.
  3. Review requests outside the agreed scope in writing before changing the budget or delivery schedule.

Technical approach and methodology

Northstar Digital will start with intake-field and integration mapping, then build the patient and staff workflows in planned increments. QA, security review, and user acceptance testing precede the example production handover in Week 9.
Refine requirements
Confirm business workflows, technical dependencies, user roles, acceptance criteria, and architecture constraints before build begins.
Build iteratively
Deliver in planned increments with modular services, reviewed code, environment promotion, and stakeholder visibility across each cycle.
Validate and release
Run QA, security checks, UAT support, deployment preparation, and handover tasks before production launch.

Intellectual property and project ownership

For the Acme Health example, the parties should identify any pre-existing tools or libraries used to build the portal in the final agreement. The project-specific code, configurations, and documentation follow the ownership terms below.
Pre-existing IP
Each party retains ownership of its pre-existing tools, libraries, frameworks, templates, methodologies, know-how, and other background intellectual property used in the project.
Project IP ownership
Newly created code, configurations, documentation, and project-specific deliverables transfer to the client upon full payment, subject to any stated carve-outs for background IP.
Licensing and usage rights
List any reusable components and third-party tools in the final handover inventory, together with the applicable operating licenses and restrictions.
Confidentiality and non-disclosure
  • Protect technical specifications, credentials, access paths, architecture documents, and client data as confidential information.
  • Limit codebase and environment access to authorized personnel with a project need to know.
  • Preserve confidentiality obligations through delivery, handover, and any post-launch support period.

Acceptance and sign-off

By signing, the parties confirm alignment on the proposed technical scope, commercial structure, delivery assumptions, intellectual property terms, and confidentiality obligations described in this proposal or its attached statement of work. Signature indicates authorization to proceed to project initialization under the agreed terms.
