  4. List scope of work and deliverables in separate bulleted sections.
  5. List exclusions clearly under a "Not included" heading.
  6. State fees, payment schedule, and what triggers extra charges.
  7. Add revision limits, client responsibilities, and approval process.
  8. Add a phased timeline with target dates.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent fees, dates, or legal terms. Use only the inputs and ask for missing details.
  • Flag that this document is not a binding contract and a lawyer or local licensing authority should review it if needed.
  • If local consumer protection or contract rules apply, tell the user to check them.
