propuse

Propuse is a neologism used in some professional and academic contexts to describe a structured approach to presenting ideas for group consideration. It may refer to the act of proposing as well as to the formal document, deck, or slide set used to articulate a proposal.

Origin and usage: The term appears in online discussions and in some organizational practices from the 2010s onward, without a single standard definition. It is distinct from a simple proposal by emphasizing structure, clarity, and action-oriented outcomes.

Typical structure: A propuse commonly includes the purpose or problem statement, proposed objectives or scope, required resources, stakeholders and roles, success metrics, risks and mitigations, timeline, and a clear call to action. Some organizations combine these elements into a concise document or presentation to facilitate quick evaluation.

Applications: Propuse is used in software development, product management, research proposals, and governance meetings to enable efficient assessment and decision making. It supports iterative refinement and alignment with goals, allowing teams to revise proposals in response to feedback before formal approval.

Status: Propuse is not a universally standardized term and is less formal than established proposal frameworks; its meaning can vary by organization. When used, it should be accompanied by a copy or deck that outlines the elements listed above to ensure shared understanding among participants.

Related terms: proposal, proposal management, business case, decision-making process, design critique.
