PLAYBOOK TEMPLATES

Letter of Intent (LOI)

A Letter of Intent expresses preliminary terms for a potential transaction, outlining intent before formal contracts. This playbook clarifies binding vs. non-binding provisions and confidentiality obligations.

Scope & Deliverables

Why This Matters: Unclear or incomplete scope definitions can lead to disputes over performance and additional unplanned costs.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure that the scope of work is detailed and aligns with the company's strategic goals. Include specific milestones and acceptance criteria to manage expectations and performance.

If you're the Seller:

Negotiate for clear deliverables and acceptance procedures to avoid disputes. Ensure that any changes to the scope are documented and agreed upon to protect against scope creep.
