Clear boundaries protect the result

No vague promises. No surprise scope.

Rooted Rocket defines what “done” means before the project starts.

ScopeEvery proposal defines the result, system boundary, sponsor, departments, tools, deliverables, exclusions and acceptance tests.

UpdatesEvery client receives a weekly written update covering what was completed, what happens next, upcoming decisions and risks to timing.

MeetingsMeeting purpose, frequency and maximum allowance are written into the engagement plan. Unlimited calls and unrelated requests are not included.

Client roleThe client names one decision-maker, provides required access and information, and returns feedback within the agreed timeframe.

Access and dataRooted Rocket requests the minimum access required for the approved scope. Sensitive systems, data handling, security expectations and removal of access are agreed before discovery or implementation.

Third-party costsSoftware licenses, usage fees, implementation partners and other third-party costs are excluded unless the signed proposal explicitly includes them.

ChangesAdditional departments, systems, deliverables or meetings require written approval on price and timing before work begins.

HandoffCompletion includes the implemented system, supporting documentation, training and a defined handoff. Continued support is scoped separately.
