“The scope document isn't the fine print — it's the shared mental model that keeps both sides honest throughout the engagement.”
What it does
Produces an explicit list of what the engagement will and will not do, in shared language, from the agreed approach. Used to set a common mental model before pricing. Single judgement call drawing the fence.
Trigger: Use after approach and methodology are agreed, before pricing, to set a common understanding of the engagement boundary in writing.
