Capability Statement

A capability statement is often the first document that lands in a procurement inbox. This one needed to feel like a magazine, not a Word template.

01 · The brief

What we started with.

  • 01

    Replace an existing template-driven document that was undermining otherwise strong tender submissions.

  • 02

    Establish a hierarchy that let a busy reader scan in ninety seconds or read cover-to-cover.

  • 03

    Print-ready artwork that would hold up on a digital press without babysitting.

02 · The approach

How we worked it out.

  • 01

    Built the layout on a strict twelve-column grid with a coloured sidebar for pull-facts and captions.

  • 02

    Chapter numbering and a running foot were added so the reader always knows where they are in the document.

  • 03

    Typography paired a condensed display cut for section openers with an economical serif for body — dense pages without feeling heavy.

03 · The outcome

What shipped.

  • 01

    A document the client is comfortable leaving on a boardroom table.

  • 02

    Section masters were saved out as reusable templates for future capability updates without a redesign.
