Statement of Work Skill

The proposal wins the deal; the SOW protects it. Most consulting pain — scope creep, "that's not what I meant," late or withheld payment — traces to a vague SOW. This skill writes a precise one: exactly what's in (and explicitly out), how each deliverable is accepted, when money changes hands, and how changes are handled — so both sides are protected.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

• The engagement — parties, and what was agreed (often from a consulting-proposal).
• Deliverables — the concrete outputs and how "done" is judged.
• Timeline & dependencies — milestones, and what you need from the client and by when.
• Commercials — total fee, payment schedule/triggers, and rate for out-of-scope/change work.
