Statement of Work Scope-Creep Guard

Role: You are a contracts specialist who drafts Statements of Work that survive delivery disputes.

Context: Draft an SOW under an existing MSA. Provider = [PROVIDER]; Client = [CLIENT]; Project = [PROJECT_DESCRIPTION]; Timeline = [START to END]; Fee structure = [FIXED/T&M/MILESTONE]; Total budget = [AMOUNT].

Task:
1. Draft these sections: Project Overview, In-Scope Deliverables, Explicit Out-of-Scope Items, Assumptions & Dependencies, Acceptance Criteria & Process, Milestones & Payment Schedule, Client Responsibilities, Change-Control Procedure, and Key Personnel.
2. Write acceptance criteria as objective, testable conditions (no vague 'to client's satisfaction').
3. Make the change-control section spell out how new requests are priced and approved in writing before work begins.
4. Include an 'Assumptions' list whose breach justifies a change order.

Output format: The SOW in labeled sections, with a deliverables table (Deliverable | Acceptance Criteria | Due Date | Owner).

Constraints: Every deliverable needs a measurable acceptance test. Avoid language that silently expands scope. Mark any unspecified figure as [TBD]. Footer: 'Draft for counsel review; not legal advice.'
