# DealNest

> Digital sales room platform for modern B2B teams and agencies that replaces static PDF proposals with interactive closing experiences, real-time buyer engagement analytics, and 1-click proposal acceptance with SHA-256 audit trails.

## Overview

DealNest (https://dealnest.app) is a modern B2B Digital Sales Room (DSR) software solution designed to eliminate the "black hole" of static email attachments and PDF proposals. Instead of sending unresponsive files, sales reps and agency founders share branded web-based deal rooms via passwordless magic links. DealNest captures buyer engagement in real time, alerts sellers when prospects focus on pricing, lets buyers interactively choose project tiers, and seals agreements with 1-click commercial proposal acceptance and cryptographic SHA-256 audit certificates.

## Core Capabilities

- **Real-Time Engagement Analytics**: Tracks when decision-makers open a proposal, pricing focus, download activity, and section engagement.
- **High-Intent Alerts**: Instant notifications when prospects spend concentrated time evaluating pricing options or reopen dormant proposals.
- **Interactive Tier Selection**: Dynamic packages where buyers can select scopes, add-on deliverables, or service tiers with instant price recalculation.
- **1-Click Proposal Acceptance**: Frictionless in-browser commercial approval capturing affirmative assent without clumsy canvas drawing.
- **SHA-256 Audit Certificates**: Every accepted proposal automatically freezes the agreed scope and generates a cryptographic audit trail recording approver name, title, email, IP address, user-agent, timestamp, and digest hash.
- **Archival PDF Generation**: Instant download of a sealed archival PDF proposal with embedded commercial approval certificate and SHA-256 fingerprint.
- **Post-Approval Deposit Collection**: Direct support for online checkout links (Revolut, Stripe, Wise, PayPal) and bank wire instructions to collect upfront retainers immediately upon deal acceptance.
- **Zero Client Friction**: Buyers access deal rooms directly through secure magic links without creating an account, setting passwords, or installing software.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do buyers or clients need an account to view or accept a proposal?
No. Clients access the proposal via a secure magic link in their browser. They review the interactive scope, select tiers, and accept with 1 click with zero account creation or password friction.

### How does DealNest record proposal acceptance?
DealNest records explicit commercial assent with a complete audit trail: approver name, job title, email, verified client IP address, device user-agent, UTC timestamp, and a frozen SHA-256 cryptographic digest of the exact agreed scope and pricing. Formal legal agreements and invoicing are finalized directly between the parties.

### Can both parties download an accepted PDF copy?
Yes. Upon proposal acceptance, both the seller and buyer can immediately download a print-ready archival PDF containing the full deal terms, selected package breakdown, and verified approval audit certificate.

### What happens when the 1 free active room limit is reached on Free Starter?
A user on the Free Starter plan can maintain 1 active live proposal at a time. As soon as that proposal is accepted or archived, a new active room can be created immediately. Users requiring multiple concurrent active rooms can upgrade to Pro.
