What belongs in a statement of work — and what is a pitch

Deliverables, price, dates, hours back, cost stopped, and what is out. If those lines are missing, you do not have a scope.

Statement of work · Pricing · Process · Sovereign

A pitch deck is not a statement of work. A Figma file is not a statement of work. A Slack “we’ll figure it out” is how you buy unlimited revisions and still do not own the login.

SINLE Technologies LLC will not charge a card before you approve a written scope. Typical projects: 50% to start, 50% on delivery, USD, Stripe. Retainers: billed in advance, 30 days’ notice. Custom: milestones in the SOW.

The lines we write

What we will ship. What we will not. Dates. Price. How change orders work. Hours a team gets back or a cost the company stops paying — named, not implied. Who owns the work on final payment. How to cancel.

  • In: pages, features, environments, handoff.
  • Out: extra brands, extra languages, a chatbot nobody asked to lock.
  • Lock: money and sends stay human if an agent is in scope.

If we cannot name the return, we decline

We do not sell a menu of website packages. If the brief is a brochure, you get a written no. That is the product of the review. It is also cheaper than a bad yes.

The steps — do these in order

  1. 01

    Send the job in one sentence

    If you cannot, we are not ready to price.

  2. 02

    Read the out-of-scope list

    If there is none, the quote will expand until the money is gone.

  3. 03

    Check who is on the invoice

    The LLC on the site should match the LLC on the PDF.

  4. 04

    Check when the card is charged

    Nothing before you approve the scope. Deposit refundable before work begins.

  5. 05

    Check what you own on final payment

    Repo, files, admin. If leaving kills the site, stop.

If this is the work you need, write. You get a written scope, a price in USD, and a site or product you own. Nothing is billed before you approve it.
