subcontractor_brief
Generate a clear project brief for subcontractors to define their scope, deliverables, deadlines, and payment terms, preventing scope bleed and ownership disputes.
Instructions
Generate a clear project brief for a subcontractor or VA you're bringing in for part of a project. Covers their specific scope, deliverable format and deadline, what NOT to include, payment terms, work-for-hire IP clause, and confidentiality note. Getting this right upfront prevents the most common sub problems: scope bleed, missed handoffs, and ownership disputes. Does not count against your monthly draft limit.
