Beginner instructions
Start with the client brief and fill in only what is already known. Use [CONFIRM] for missing terms instead of guessing. Review the draft with the client and get legal help when the agreement carries major financial, intellectual property, privacy, or liability concerns.
Advanced instructions
Compare the draft against the proposal, emails, estimate, and main contract. Check that each deliverable has a format, quantity, owner, due point, dependency, and acceptance method. Test likely change scenarios and late-client scenarios before sending the draft.
