Builds a client-scoping XLSX optimization workbook and a matching PPTX recommendation deck that select the cost-optimal service package or bundle from a consultancy's or MSP's real pricing catalog against a client's budget, weighted priorities, and hard constraints (SLA/compliance floors, mutual exclusivity, must-include packages), normalizing fixed-fee, day-rate, and SaaS pricing with discount-tier logic and computing NPV and budget sensitivity. It ingests the user's actual package catalog, rate card, or client requirements brief when supplied instead of inventing prices. Use when a solutions engineer, account manager, or MSP consultant needs to justify a package/tier recommendation with a working financial model and presentable deck, e.g. "which tier should we recommend to this client" or "show the cost breakdown and budget sensitivity for the scoping call."
