I Built an NDA-Safe Proposal Scoper That Runs Gemma on My Laptop

Description and use

ScopeLock enables freelancers to rapidly and safely generate proposals from RFPs by processing documents locally with open‑weights Gemma models, ensuring no confidential data leaks.

Problem

Freelance developers face a dilemma: using cloud LLMs risks NDA breaches, while manual scoping is time‑consuming and error‑prone.

Outcome

ScopeLock delivers a 100% first‑try schema validity rate, deterministic pricing, and zero content egress proof, enabling rapid, NDA‑safe proposal generation on a laptop.

Workflow

• Pull local Gemma model via Ollama
• Start backend API with uvicorn
• Launch React workbench or run CLI
• ScopeLock ingests brief (PDF/MD/plaintext)
• Sequential 5‑step pipeline: extract requirements, risks, milestones, verify quotes, compute pricing, draft email
• Generate proposal outputs
• Verify zero egress with canary test

Evidence

ScopeLock is an NDA‑safe, local‑first proposal scoper designed for freelance developers. It ingests client briefs entirely on your machine using open‑weights Google Gemma models running in Ollama.
