THE FIRST CONTRACT
Clarity is part of the work.
A useful contract names the intended result, what will count as complete, what must not happen, and where human judgment is required.
- Write acceptance criteria that can be checked.
- Name the data that may be used and where it may go.
- Set budget and deadline boundaries before execution.
- Define whether plans, source directions, and deliveries need review.
