Why did they go quiet?

Answer four questions about a proposal that went silent. You get the most likely reason, the evidence behind it, and what to actually do next. If the answers do not support a conclusion, this says so instead of inventing one.

Not enough to call

Honestly — this cannot be diagnosed from what you know

The two most likely explanations are opposites: they never opened it, or they read it closely and something stopped them. Those need completely different responses, and nothing you have been able to answer separates them.

What this is based on

  • Neither of you has been in touch since it was sent.

The next move

Do not guess. The next proposal you send, send it as a link that tells you whether it was opened — then this question answers itself.

What you could not answer

Two of the four questions above ask what your client actually did, and you answered both with “I have no way to know”. That is not a gap in this tool — it is the gap. Without it, the difference between “never read it” and “read it and balked” is invisible, and those two need opposite responses.

This is a reading of four answers, not a verdict. It is the pattern that fits best — a real client can always be the exception.

Every question above that you could not answer is one a tracked link answers for you

ClosingMoment tells you the moment your client opens the proposal, how long they stay, and which section they return to. The next time one goes quiet, you will not have to guess which of the two opposite reasons it was.
