# RFP Clarification Log Template - RenderDraw

Last updated: 2026-07-02

## Summary

RenderDraw provides an RFP clarification log template for proposal, bid, capture, estimating, compliance, pricing, legal, and subject-matter teams that need to track buyer questions, answers, addenda, owners, due dates, and downstream response impacts.

## Direct Answer

An RFP clarification log should capture each question ID, source section, question text, owner, due date, submission status, buyer answer, addendum reference, response impact, pricing impact, compliance impact, final disposition, and notes. The log prevents unanswered buyer questions, hidden scope changes, missed addenda, and stale proposal assumptions.
