Change Request
Every undocumented change is a future dispute waiting to happen.
Change requests modify the scope, timeline, or budget of an existing contract. When poorly drafted, they create ambiguity about what was agreed, who bears additional costs, and whether the original SOW still applies. BrieflyGo checks every change request for precision.
What BrieflyGo checks
- Change description and original scope reference
- Cost impact and payment terms for the change
- Timeline impact on deliverables and milestones
- Approval signatures from all parties
- Effect on warranties and liability caps

What risks are detected
Open-ended cost clauses
"Time and materials" changes with no cap can balloon to multiples of the original contract value.
Missing authorised signatures
A change request signed only by a project manager may not be binding on the company.
No timeline adjustment
Change adds work but original deadline remains — automatic breach at delivery.
Warranty scope changes
The change request may inadvertently narrow or eliminate warranty protection on deliverables.
