Scope of Work
Define exact rendering types, view angles, file formats, resolution, and any modeling prerequisites to avoid scope creep or misinterpretation.
A precise proposal reduces scope ambiguity, speeds approvals, and documents project responsibilities for both parties. It creates an auditable record that supports billing, change management, and dispute resolution while making digital review and eSignature workflows straightforward and legally defensible.
Primary users prepare, review, or sign the proposal depending on role and project phase.
Different organizations will assign signatory authority differently; confirm the authorized signer before sending for execution.
Define exact rendering types, view angles, file formats, resolution, and any modeling prerequisites to avoid scope creep or misinterpretation.
List each deliverable (number of stills, animations, VR files), expected file formats (PNG, TIFF, MP4, OBJ) and final delivery method.
Specify milestone dates for review cycles, internal QA, client approvals, and final delivery with revision windows and lead times.
State objective acceptance tests (color accuracy, resolution, model fidelity) and the procedure for signaling formal acceptance.
Include fixed fees or hourly estimates, payment schedule, invoicing terms, and late-payment remedies or holdbacks.
Describe permitted revision counts, turnaround for changes, and the process plus pricing for out-of-scope requests.
