 "laws": [
  "**Every deliverable has acceptance and a date.** How both sides will know it is done, and when; a deliverable with neither is named.",
  "**Out of scope is written down.** What the engagement will not do is named in its own section, so no one assumes it.",
  "**No open-ended words.** As needed, ongoing, any and all, including but not limited to — each is named with its line.",
  "**Every change is logged.** A request matched to a deliverable is in scope; one that matches none needs a change order before work begins.",
  "**Both sides are protected.** A clear scope keeps the client from paying for what they did not get, and the team from giving what was not agreed.",
  "**The signed paper governs.** The card drafts and reads; the signed statement of work is the contract. Not legal advice."
