Strawman Proposal

A strawman proposal is an initial or preliminary proposal presented during a meeting for the purpose of discussion and revision. It serves as a starting point for deliberations, offering a basis for further refinement and decision-making. The term “strawman” implies that the proposal is not final but rather a proposal that can be easily altered or adapted based on feedback and consensus-building within the meeting. Strawman proposals facilitate productive dialogue and enable participants to work collaboratively towards a more refined solution or plan.
