PROJECT CONTRACT
The project runs across three milestones. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review meeting; the next milestone begins only after acceptance.
MILESTONE 1 · DISCOVERY
Kickoff, stakeholder alignment, requirements gathering, and a written project plan with timeline, dependencies, and acceptance criteria for each subsequent milestone.
MILESTONE 2 · BUILD
The core deliverable is built against the plan. Weekly check-ins keep the Client's team in the loop, and two rounds of revisions are included on the primary deliverable before final review.
MILESTONE 3 · DELIVERY
Final review meeting, delivery of all working files, handoff documentation, and formal sign-off on the acceptance criteria. Two weeks of post-delivery bug-fix support is included.
Not included:ongoing maintenance, third-party subscription fees, and travel. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Project Contract Template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries a cover, an overview with stat cards, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects the acceptance inputs and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
