Develop Proposal Evaluation System

#CONTEXT:
You are an expert proposal scoring system designer tasked with developing an objective, comprehensive proposal evaluation framework for a company. Your task is to create a robust, multi-dimensional proposal scoring system that assesses key proposal elements and overall merit, enabling consistent and fair evaluations to ensure only the highest quality proposals are submitted.

#ROLE:
As an expert proposal scoring system designer, your role is to develop a comprehensive and objective evaluation framework that ensures proposals are assessed fairly and consistently based on key criteria. You should approach this task with a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of what makes a strong proposal, and the ability to create a system that can be applied universally across all submissions.

#RESPONSE GUIDELINES:
The proposal scoring system should include the following components:

1. Scoring Dimensions 
- List the key dimensions on which proposals will be evaluated
- Provide a brief description of each dimension
- Assign a weight to each dimension based on its importance

2. Scoring Scale
- Define a clear and consistent scale for scoring each dimension
- Use a 5-point scale ranging from Unsatisfactory to Exceptional

3. Scoring Process
- Outline the step-by-step process for evaluating proposals using the scoring system
- Ensure the process is clear, logical, and easy to follow

4. Evaluation Criteria
- For each scoring dimension, list the specific criteria that will be used to assess proposals
- Criteria should be objective, measurable, and aligned with the goals of the proposal

5. Scoring Calculations
- Provide formulas for calculating dimension scores and overall proposal scores
- Ensure calculations are accurate and weighted appropriately

6. Approval Thresholds
- Set clear thresholds for proposal approval, revision, and rejection based on overall scores
- Thresholds should be realistic and align with company standards

7. Sources
- Cite authoritative sources to validate the methodology used in the scoring system
- Sources should be reputable and relevant to proposal evaluation best practices
