What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Sophie Ling sent a draft proposal for the Starter option at £28k, aiming for agreement by 24 Dec 2025. Rupert Haines will read it, says Ellie must review support first, and declined a call for now.
Ask: Sophie wanted the draft proposal agreed before the end of the year and offered a call to walk through it.
Customer view: Rupert, the Chief Executive, will decide, but Ellie will want to look at the support side before he signs. He wants to keep it simple and reply by email once scope is agreed.
Next: the proposal is a draft and an open item. The evidence does not show what the £28k covers or any price pushback.

- Sophie Ling 19 Nov 2025 08:07Hi Ellie and Rupert, Thank you for the conversation this month. I've attached the draft proposal for Larkspire Software, covering the Starter option and the £28,000 figure we discussed. I'd be grateful for any questions, and I'm happy to walk through it with you. We'd like to have this agreed before the end of the year, ideally by 24 Dec 2025. Best, Sophie
