Turn a vague promise into inputs, deliverables, acceptance criteria and revision limits.

## Why it matters

A precise scope protects the buyer and makes time, price and quality measurable.

## Where it is used

Draft a one-page offer with permitted inputs, output format, acceptance checklist, exclusions, revision limit and delivery window.

## How you know you have learned it

Complete the scenario checks, explain the decision in your own words, and produce this artifact: Draft a one-page offer with permitted inputs, output format, acceptance checklist, exclusions, revision limit and delivery window.

## Make the offer inspectable

A clear handoff connects approved inputs to a testable output.

Sell an outcome you can check. Specify the buyer, inputs, output format, timing, checks, exclusions and who approves delivery. Limit revisions and define what a change costs before work starts. Explain where AI assists and where you review. Do not claim expertise you lack, and do not accept confidential inputs without an agreed safe process.

Write an offer for a weekly customer-feedback summary.
1. Include up to 100 approved, deidentified comments, grouped into agreed categories.
2. Deliver a short summary with source references and flag uncertain classifications.
3. Include one revision to correct errors; new data or new categories require a new scope.

The buyer can see what they receive and how to accept it. You can estimate and measure the work.

The buyer adds a second dataset after approving the scope. What should happen?

Discuss the added work, timing and price before proceeding. Do not silently absorb it or invoice an unagreed charge.
