How to turn down a 'proposal' kindly 💍

You thought I was your work plan. But you were only my concept note. Our projected timelines, CBA, and MEL frameworks simply did not align.

(SorryNotSorry)

More unsolicited romantic 💕 advice: You should not say you are dating. You should say you are horizon scanning 🔍 .
And if you get rejected 🙅 at stage 1 (can't forecast everything), you should conduct a (self) gap analysis 🧐 & update your vision statement with action points, outcome table, & revised timeline.📄
You will never get to the proposal 💍 stage otherwise, let alone a stage 2 approval & then grant ✔️.
