Statement of work template
Exactly what's delivered, by when, for how much, and what counts as a change. The document that stops scope creep.
A statement of work is where an agency protects its margin. Specific deliverables, a set number of revision rounds, feedback deadlines and a change process turn "can you just" into a clear conversation.
Use one per project, or one per year for a retainer, under your master services agreement.
