SOW (Statement of Work)
Vague scope = cost overruns. BrieflyGo finds the gaps before they find you.
A Statement of Work defines the boundaries of a project: what will be delivered, when, by whom, and at what cost. Ambiguous SOWs are the leading cause of project disputes. BrieflyGo checks every definition for precision and flags where scope creep will enter.

What risks are detected
Undefined acceptance criteria
"Client satisfaction" as acceptance criteria gives buyers unlimited grounds for rejection without payment.
Missing change order process
No formal change process means extra work is done for free — or creates a dispute at invoice time.
IP assigned to client
All work product may automatically transfer to the client — including reusable frameworks you built.
Termination for convenience
Client can cancel at any time, often paying only for work completed — leaving you with unrecoverable costs.
