Monthly retainer scope: in, out, and change requests

A scope document to attach to the contract: monthly deliverables, out-of-scope work, the change-request process, approval times, and rollover rules. It stops scope creep before it starts.

For agencies that serve clinics, nothing eats into margins like scope creep: “Could you just put this brochure together too?” This template puts in writing what gets delivered each month, what doesn't, and how extra work gets requested. Have it signed as an appendix to the contract, and review it together every quarter.
